They were a mixed punch. Some came from the rich side of the town, but the majorities were from parents who struggled to get jobs.

She had quickly taken it from him and buried it deeply among the rest, never to be found again. After thinking for a while, he wrote: Dear Dad, You are a person I do not know and would probably not recognize as I only saw an old photo of you a long time ago. I think and wonder about you often, especially when I have no one to talk to about the Saturday fixtures(体育活动). One day when I grow up I will do an Internet search to find you, but I am not sure whether I will be successful as several attempts by the Child Support Agency have not been successful.

C A new study has found the amount of antibiotics (抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat, milk and eggs. However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections (感染). Such infections are already a major public, health concern in the United States. The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty (贫困), the first thing they want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat. With the rapid development of Asia, people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago. To meet the need, farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, the easiest way to deal with some of the problems d crowding is to give them antibiotics. It’s clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually. Nowadays, doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work. The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection. Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose. 18. What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO? A. Making a lot of money. B. Focusing more on health. C. Having more meat in their diet. D. Living in a better environment. 19. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Antibiotics do harm to animals. B. Antibiotics help animals stay healthy. C. Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe. D. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people. 20. What’s the passage mainly about? A. A new way of raising farm animals. B The advantages of using antibiotics. C. The reason for banning the use of antibiotics. D. The negative effect of antibiotics in farm animals. D You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams. While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness. You are awake, but is your hippocampus (海马体) awake? When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory. “If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up, ” said Thomas Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “So, you could have this window where you wake up with a dream in your short-term memory, but since the hippocampus is not fully awake yet, your brain is not able to keep that memory,” Andrillon told Live Science. While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep, and appears to be storing and caring for existing memories to strengthen them, instead of listening for incoming new experiences. Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable? Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth? Our minds wander all the time, but we get rid of most of those thoughts as unimportant information. Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent(连贯的)seem to be better remembered-perhaps because they cause more awakening, and their organized story makes them easier to store. If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall. Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile(脆弱的)dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory. 21. What can we learn about dreams from the passage? A. Dreaming means processing memory during sleeping. B. Dreams come from your hippocampus. C. Dreams are sometimes useless for us to remember. D. We need special trainings to recall our dreams. 22 You can’t remember your dreams when you wake up probably because ________. A. you are forgetful and poor in remembering things B. your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherent C. your hippocampus is active in receiving new information D. your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory 23. Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream? A. Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information. B. Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams. C. Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening. D. Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up. 24. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To tell the importance of dreams. B. To explain our forgetfulness in dreams. C. To present some methods to recall dreams. D. To analyze how our brain deal with information. 第二部分 Ⅰ.单句语法填空。（共9小题，每小题1分，共9分） 阅读下列句子，根据句意填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 25.

Is it a bear? If you’re looking at a tree in the shape of a bear, it’s a topiary. A topiary is a tree or bush that is trained into a shape. Topiaries are a kind of sculpture. Growing topiary garden takes both time and skill. The first thing a topiary gardener does is make a drawing. The drawing shows the form the gardener would like a tree or bush to take. The gardener then chooses the bush for the topiary. It may be one that has just been planted or one that is already in place. Special bushes are used for topiaries. These bushes are yew, privet, or boxwood. In June of the plant’s first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it is time to shape the bottom of the bush. The gardener shapes the bottom of the bush for about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. That’s when the gardener begins to shape the whole bush. Sometimes branches are bent (使弯曲) to form a shape. The gardener ties the branches in place. Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In summer it must be clipped many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In winter the bushes don’t grow. The gardeners have to brush snow off the plants. Snow can hurt the flat parts of the plants. Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe liked topiaries too. The Dutch and French grew very pretty topiaries in their neat gardens. In the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today, there is a topiary garden in Williamsburg, Virginia. It’s much like a garden that grew there hundreds of years ago. 44. What is a topiary? (不多于13个单词) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 45 When does the gardener begin to shape the whole bush? (不多于4个单词) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 46. What care does a topiary need in summer?

C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。在父亲节快要到来的时候，Miss Dalrymple要求孩子们为父亲们制作卡片，写关于父亲的优点或者写首诗。Andrew从未见过自己的父亲，但是他还是给父亲写了一封信，表达了自己渴望见到父亲的心情。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Today we are going to create a special card for Father’s Day”可知，Miss Dalrymple要求孩子们为父亲们制作卡片。故B选项正确。 【15题详解】 句意理解题。根据后面的“Some came from the rich side of the town, but the majorities were from parents who struggled to get jobs”可知，班里的孩子有的家境很好，但大多数家境都不好。由此可知，划线句子应表示：孩子们家境不一样。故D选项正确。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He had never met, spoken to, or been hugged by his dad, so how could he write about him?”可知，他从未见过自己的父亲，所以他不知道该写些什么。故A选项正确。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I think and wonder about you often, especially when I have no one to talk to about the Saturday fixtures(体育活动).”可知，Andrew经常想起自己的父亲，尤其是当他想和人谈谈自己的体育活动时。由此可知，他非常渴望见到自己的父亲。故C选项正确。 C A new study has found the amount of antibiotics (抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat, milk and eggs. However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections (感染). Such infections are already a major public, health concern in the United States. The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty (贫困), the first thing they want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat. With the rapid development of Asia, people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago. To meet the need, farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, the easiest way to deal with some of the problems d crowding is to give them antibiotics. It’s clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually. Nowadays, doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work. The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection. Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose. 18. What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO? A. Making a lot of money. B. Focusing more on health. C. Having more meat in their diet. D. Living in a better environment. 19. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Antibiotics do harm to animals. B. Antibiotics help animals stay healthy. C. Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe. D. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people. 20. What’s the passage mainly about? A. A new way of raising farm animals. B. The advantages of using antibiotics. C. The reason for banning the use of antibiotics. D. The negative effect of antibiotics in farm animals. 【答案】18. C 19. D 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现，未来15年农场动物的抗生素使用量预计将增加三分之二，这与人们对肉、奶、蛋的需求增长有关，但该行为可能加速耐药菌感染的发展，而此类感染已成为美国主要的公共健康问题。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money(世界卫生组织指出，当人们摆脱贫困时，他们想做的第一件事是吃得更好，而不是赚更多钱)”以及“For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat(对大多数人来说，这意味着他们的饮食应包含更多肉类)”可知，摆脱贫困后人们首先想做的是在饮食中增加肉类。故选C项。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide(细菌已学会抵抗药物的方法。动物身上大量使用抗生素是全球抗生素耐药性增长的原因)”以及“In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection(在美国，每年至少有200万人感染耐药菌，至少23000人死于感染)”可知，细菌已学会抵抗药物的方法且在美国每年至少有200万人感染耐药菌，可推知，动物身上的耐药菌会传播给人类，故选D项。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study has found the amount of antibiotics given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat, milk and eggs. However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections. Such infections are already a major public, health concern in the United States(一项新研究发现，未来15年内，给农场动物使用的抗生素量预计将增加三分之二。研究人员将这种对药物日益增长的依赖与肉类、牛奶和鸡蛋需求的增加联系起来。然而，这些药物可能会加速抗生素耐药性感染的发展。此类感染已成为美国的一个重大公共卫生问题)”、第四段“The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide(细菌已学会抵抗药物的方法。动物身上大量使用抗生素是全球抗生素耐药性增长的原因)”、“In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection(在美国，每年至少有200万人感染耐药菌，至少23000人死于感染)”以及最后一段“Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose(欧洲已禁止使用抗生素来促进动物生长。美国则希望说服农民停止出于该目的使用抗生素)”可知，文章首段指出农场动物抗生素使用量增加可能加速耐药菌感染，接着分析其原因和影响，最后提及欧美应对措施。全文围绕农场动物使用抗生素的负面影响展开。故选D项。 D You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams. While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness. You are awake, but is your hippocampus (海马体) awake? When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory. “If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up, ” said Thomas Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “So, you could have this window where you wake up with a dream in your short-term memory, but since the hippocampus is not fully awake yet, your brain is not able to keep that memory,” Andrillon told Live Science. While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep, and appears to be storing and caring for existing memories to strengthen them, instead of listening for incoming new experiences. Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable? Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth? Our minds wander all the time, but we get rid of most of those thoughts as unimportant information. Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent(连贯的)seem to be better remembered-perhaps because they cause more awakening, and their organized story makes them easier to store. If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall. Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile(脆弱的)dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory. 21. What can we learn about dreams from the passage? A. Dreaming means processing memory during sleeping. B. Dreams come from your hippocampus. C Dreams are sometimes useless for us to remember. D. We need special trainings to recall our dreams. 22. You can’t remember your dreams when you wake up probably because ________. A. you are forgetful and poor in remembering things B. your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherent C. your hippocampus is active in receiving new information D. your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory 23. Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream? A. Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information. B. Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams. C. Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening. D. Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up. 24. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To tell the importance of dreams. B. To explain our forgetfulness in dreams. C. To present some methods to recall dreams. D. To analyze how our brain deal with information. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 24. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了人们难以回忆起梦境的原因，并介绍了一些有助于提高梦境回忆能力的方法。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember.(梦，尤其是普通的梦，可能就像白日梦的想法一样，大脑认为它们太无用而无需记住)” 可知，有些梦对我们来说可能没有记住的价值。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short - term memory into long - term memory.(研究人员发现，最后进入睡眠状态的区域之一是海马体，这是大脑中的一个结构，对于将信息从短期记忆转移到长期记忆至关重要)” 以及第四段““If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up, ” said Thomas Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “So, you could have this window where you wake up with a dream in your short-term memory, but since the hippocampus is not fully awake yet, your brain is not able to keep that memory,” Andrillon told Live Science.(“如果海马体是最后进入睡眠的，那它很可能也是最后醒来的，” 澳大利亚墨尔本莫纳什大学的神经科学家托马斯・安德里隆说。“所以，你可能会有这样一个阶段，醒来时梦还在你的短期记忆中，但由于海马体还没有完全清醒，你的大脑无法保留这段记忆。” 安德里隆告诉《生活科学》杂志)” 可知，当我们醒来时，梦处于短期记忆中，但因为海马体未完全苏醒，大脑无法将梦的记忆从短期转为长期，即大脑需要启动海马体来将梦转化为长期记忆，否则就记不住梦。所以，你醒来时记不住梦可能是因为大脑需要启动来将梦转化为长期记忆，故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题题。根据最后一段 “Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile (脆弱的) dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory.(一些研究表明，反复提醒自己想要记住梦可能会增加记住梦的机会，写梦的日记也是如此。醒来后，抓住那脆弱的梦的记忆：闭上眼睛，保持静止，重放梦的记忆，直到你的海马体跟上并正确存储记忆)” 可知，选项 B（不断提醒自己需要记住梦）、选项 C（醒来后记录你能记住的梦中内容）和选项 D（醒来后直接回想梦中的事情）都有助于回忆梦，而选项 A（提高海马体捕捉信息的能力）文中未提及能帮助回忆梦，故选A。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams.(你一生中有三分之一的时间在睡觉，其中一部分时间会做梦。但大多数时候，你什么梦都不记得)”，提出人们记不住梦这一现象。接着第二段 “While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness.(虽然我们几乎记不起梦的确切原因尚未完全明了，但科学家们对睡眠期间的记忆过程有了一些了解，从而产生了一些可以解释我们遗忘现象的观点)” 表明文章要解释记不住梦的原因，后文从海马体的状态、梦本身特点等方面展开解释。所以文章主要目的是解释我们在梦中的遗忘现象，故选B。 第二部分 Ⅰ.单句语法填空。（共9小题，每小题1分，共9分） 阅读下列句子，根据句意填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 25.

Is it a bear? If you’re looking at a tree in the shape of a bear it’s a topiary. A topiary is a tree or bush that is trained into a shape. Topiaries are a kind of sculpture. Growing topiary garden takes both time and skill. The first thing a topiary gardener does is make a drawing. The drawing shows the form the gardener would like a tree or bush to take. The gardener then chooses the bush for the topiary. It may be one that has just been planted or one that is already in place. Special bushes are used for topiaries. These bushes are yew, privet, or boxwood. In June of the plant’s first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it is time to shape the bottom of the bush. The gardener shapes the bottom of the bush for about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. That’s when the gardener begins to shape the whole bush. Sometimes branches are bent (使弯曲) to form a shape. The gardener ties the branches in place. Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In summer it must be clipped many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In winter the bushes don’t grow. The gardeners have to brush snow off the plants. Snow can hurt the flat parts of the plants. Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe liked topiaries too. The Dutch and French grew very pretty topiaries in their neat gardens. In the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today, there is a topiary garden in Williamsburg, Virginia. It’s much like a garden that grew there hundreds of years ago. 44. What is a topiary? (不多于13个单词) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 45. When does the gardener begin to shape the whole bush? (不多于4个单词) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 46. What care does a topiary need in summer? (不多于12个单词) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 47. What do you think of topiary gardening? Please explain why. (单词数不限) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】44. A topiary is a tree or bush that is trained into a shape. 45. In the fifth year. 46. In summer it must be clipped many times to keep its shape. 47. I think topiary gardening is a fascinating and rewarding hobby that can add beauty and interest to any garden or outdoor space. While it may require some dedication and hard work, the final results can be truly stunning and worth the effort. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了树木修剪的意义以及具体的做法。 【44题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“A topiary is a tree or bush that is trained into a shape.(修剪过的树木或灌木被修剪成某种形状)”可知，修剪是指修剪过的树木或灌木被修剪成某种形状。故答案为A topiary is a tree or bush that is trained into a shape. 【45题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping.(第五年，灌木长得足够高，可以修整了)”可知，园丁第五年开始修整整个灌木。故答案为In the fifth year. 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“In summer it must be clipped many times to keep its shape.(夏天必须剪很多次才能保持形状)”可知，夏天必须剪很多次才能保持形状。故答案为In summer it must be clipped many times to keep its shape. 【47题详解】 考查开放题。根据“你对园艺有什么看法？请解释原因”可回答：我认为园艺是一种迷人而有益的爱好，可以为任何花园或户外空间增添美丽和兴趣。虽然这可能需要一些奉献和努力，但最终的结果确实令人惊叹，值得付出努力。故答案为I think topiary gardening is a fascinating and rewarding hobby that can add beauty and interest to any garden or outdoor space. While it may require some dedication and hard work, the final results can be truly stunning and worth the effort.
