What to have: The superbly tender, spiced beef is a true crowd-pleaser. Kiln is a continuation of the Thai barbecue theme.

Hoppers Price: Affordable When to go: When you want to say to your mouth, “you SHALL go to the ball!” What to have: The Indian bread. Hoppers is exclusively Sri Lankan. The small room is always full, but it’s more than worth the wait. If small plates, full flavors and unapologetic spicing are your bag, Hoppers will get your pulse and your taste buds (味蕾) racing.

Eating at Bright is a little like eating in a glass box, which maybe you don’t expect to like, but that’s a good thing: There is less to take your attention away from the food. The compact menu changes daily, but is generally a mix of modernish small plates. Social Eating House Price: Blowout When to go: When you want a high-priced menu without the formality. What to have: Skillful cocktails in style. Social Eating House’s dark dining room, with its mirrored ceiling and modern artworks, feels cool and informal, while the menu delivers dishes that are at once highly varied, accessible and above all delicious. 21.

This doesn’t necessarily mean cheap, but definitely does mean value for money.”(而且价格合适，这不一定意味着便宜，但绝对意味着物有所值。)可知，这些餐馆不一定很便宜，但是都物有所值。故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据Hoppers部分中的“The small room is always full, but it’s more than worth the wait.”(小房间总是满的，但是值得等待。)可知，Hoppers餐馆不大，但总是爆满，所以去Hoppers餐馆总是要排队。故选B。 3.细节理解题。根据Social Eating House部分中的“Social Eating House’s dark dining room, with its mirrored ceiling and modern artworks, feels cool and informal”(Social Eating House餐厅的黑暗就餐房间有镜面天花板和现代艺术品，让人感觉凉爽，且没那么正式)可知，Social Eating House的店面设计是一个带有艺术氛围的特色空间，所以如果你想在艺术氛围中进餐，你可以去Social Eating House餐厅。故选D。 B Luke Grenfell—Shaw had a rare form of cancer. It started as a pain in his shoulder and the tumour spread to his lungs, making it stage four. The Oxford graduate was teaching English in Siberia when he suffered a shoulder pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his back that sent him back home to Bristol. “I was 24 years old. I had done an ultramarathon,” Luke says. “48 hours later. I was back in hospital in the UK.” On 19 June, 2018, doctors told Luke that he had cancer. “I had kind of worked out that it was cancer, but what kind of blew me away was the fact that it was stage four cancer,” says Luke. “That day, my life felt like it had disintegrated. My life had been comfortable and conventional. I had worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like that. That was all taken away.” On the day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind that he wanted to cycle around the world. It was something he had always hoped to do, but the cancer news made him realize that he couldn’t put it off. “I realized that the future had to become now,” Luke explains. He decided to cycle from Bristol to Beijing—more than 5,000 miles—on a tandem bike, because he wanted to bring people along to share the experience with him. Luke will not only be joined by family and friends for certain legs of his trip, but also by other young people who are living with cancer. “This trip is something I’m going to enjoy,” says Luke. “I’s going to be the richest and most fulfilling experience that I can have.” 24. What made Luke realize the potential threat of the illness? A. A lump on his back. B. The pain on his shoulder. C. The school nurse’s reaction. D. The Oxford graduate’s warning. 25.

To enjoy the rest of his life peacefully. B. To seek the best doctor treating his cancer. C. To conquer the cancer in his own way. D. To make his dream come true. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Luke intended to change his future life by cycling. B. Luke planned to challenge the cancer with young men. C. Luke wanted to end his life during the cycling trip. D. Luke expected to challenge the tough journey. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了25岁的英国男子打算来一次看似不可能的挑战：从英国布里斯托尔骑行至北京。更具挑战性的是，这名男子已被确诊为癌症晚期，身体状况不容乐观。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Oxford graduate was teaching English in Siberia when he suffered a shoulder pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his back that sent him back home to Bristol.(这位牛津大学毕业生当时在西伯利亚教英语，突然肩膀疼痛，去见了学校的护士。是她对他背上一个肿块的反应让他回到了布里斯托尔)”可知，是护士的反应，让Luke意识到了疾病对他的潜在威胁。故选C。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“My life had been comfortable and conventional. I worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like that. That was all taken away?”（我的生活一直是舒适而传统的。我努力工作，得到了教育、工作等方面的回报。这些都被拿走了?）可知，Luke原本舒适和常规的生活因癌症的出现被打破，所有的一切都被剥夺，由此猜测Luke感到生活“崩溃，破碎”。A. changed变化的；B. broken破碎的；C. disappointed失望的；D. confused困惑的。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“On the day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind that he wanted to cycle around the world. It was something he had always hoped to do, but the cancer news made him realize that he couldn’t put it off.(在他被确诊的那天，Luke有一个清晰的想法，他想要骑自行车环游世界。这是他一直希望做的事，但癌症的消息让他意识到他不能拖延)”可知，Luke决定骑自行车环游世界，是为了实现他的梦想。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘This trip is something I’m going to enjoy,’ says Luke, ‘It’s going to be the richest and most fulfilling experience that I can have.’(卢克说：“这次旅行我会很享受的，这将是我所能拥有的最丰富、最充实的经历。”)”可知，Luke认为他将享受这次旅行，这将是他能拥有的最丰富、最充实的经历，由此推测Luke期望挑战这段艰难旅程。故选D。 C I’m an 18-year-old pre-medical student, tall and good-looking; with two short story books and quite a number of essays to my credit. Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began. Born and raised in Africa, I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I, a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!” What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me. Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic (遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist (转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me— if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talk-show host and writer— she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame. Today, I’ ve grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to appreciate it. 28. What affected the author’s adjustment to her school life in Norway? A. Her appearance. B. Social discrimination. C. Her changing emotions. D. The climate in Norway. 29. What did the author’s occasional stuttering bring about according on Paragraph 3? A. Her lack of self-confidence. B. Her loss of interest in school. C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates. D. Her desire for chances to improve herself. 30. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and the girl on the bus? A. Blessed and proud. B. Confused and afraid. C. Amazed and relieved. D. Shocked and ashamed. 31. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill? A. Great minds speak alike. B. Stuttering is no barrier to success. C. Wisdom counts more than hard work. D. Famous people can’t live with their weaknesses. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了作为一个黑人女孩，作者起初因为自己的外貌和口吃感到自卑，但当得知牛顿和丘吉尔也口吃后，作者重新获得自信，决定学会欣赏自己。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I, a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!” (当我的家人不得不搬到挪威时，我的自我厌恶情绪进一步加剧，我在那里上了一所高中。与我周围所有金发碧眼、嘴唇娇嫩的白人女孩相比，我，一个黑人女孩，有卷发和丰满的红唇。无论天气如何，我的鼻子上经常有一层薄薄的汗珠。我只想把自己埋在壳里，哭着说：“我太不一样了！”)”可知，作者与新学校的女孩们外貌差距很大，让她感到自卑，由此可知，作者的外貌影响了她适应挪威的学校生活。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. (导致我不喜欢自己的另一个原因是我偶尔口吃，这削弱了我的自信心。)”可知，偶尔口吃导致作者缺乏自信。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic (遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” (一天，一个白人女孩在校车上突然转身，引起了我的注意。令我惊讶的是，她鼻子上还流着一层薄薄的汗，而且是在十一月！“哇，”我低声对自己说，“毕竟这不是遗传性疾病。这完全正常。”)”可知，看到白人女孩和自己一样，十一月鼻子上还流着一层薄薄的汗，作者首先感到惊讶，然后感到宽慰，原来自己和她们没什么不同，这完全是正常的，由此可知，作者注意到她和公交车上的女孩有相似之处，感觉既惊讶又宽慰。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me — if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. (在互联网上搜索口吃的治疗方法时，我无意中得知艾萨克·牛顿和温斯顿·丘吉尔等名人也口吃。我松了一口气，然后突然想到一个主意——如果我聪明的话，我不应该让口吃阻碍我取得成功。)”可知，得知艾萨克·牛顿和温斯顿·丘吉尔等名人也口吃，作者意识到不应该让口吃阻碍自己取得成功，由此可知，作者从牛顿和丘吉尔的例子中学到了口吃不是成功的障碍。故选B项。 D As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. 32. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack. C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart. 33. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design? A. Diet plan. B. Professional background. C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition. 34. What does Levine’s research find? A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise. B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young. C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise. D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get. 35 What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest? A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants. C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是锻炼对于心脏的好处。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的““Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart.(“想想橡皮筋。一开始，它是灵活的，但把它放在抽屉里20年，它就会变得干燥，很容易破碎，”德克萨斯大学的心脏专家本·莱文博士说。这就是心脏的变化。)”可知，莱文想通过提到橡皮筋来解释心脏的老化过程，故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week.(第一组每周参加三次非有氧运动——平衡训练和重量训练。第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。)”可知，两组在研究设计上的不同在于运动类型的不同，故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.(第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。两年后，第二组的心脏健康状况有了显著改善。)”和第四段的““We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine.(莱文说:“我们把这些50岁的心脏的时钟拨回30或35岁的心脏。”)”可知，莱文的研究发现了通过有氧运动，中年人的心脏会变得更年轻，故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.(但这项研究的规模很小，需要在更大的人群中重复进行，以确定日常锻炼的哪些方面会产生最大的影响。)”可知，妮卡·戈德堡博士建议进行进一步的研究。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing how to deal with depression can help you live a fuller and more productive life.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何应对抑郁症的方法，包括与人交流、探索和挑战消极想法、参与有益活动、练习感恩以及接受抑郁症标签等。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Talk to someone(与人交谈)”以及下文“Staying connected can go a long way toward managing your depression. This reminds you that you’re not alone.(保持联系对管理你的抑郁有很大帮助。这会让你意识到你并不孤单)”可知，保持联系对管理抑郁有很大帮助，可推理出空白处说的是与人交流是应对抑郁症的一种方法。C项“Try to chat more with the people around(尽量多与周围的人聊天)”符合上下文语境，故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Depression can surface through a lot of negative thoughts, but you can learn how to challenge them with effort.(抑郁症可以通过很多消极的想法表现出来，但你可以通过努力学会如何挑战它们)”以及下文“Rather, it’s a way to look at your real situation and restore your positivism.(相反，这是一种看待你真实情况并恢复你积极态度的方式)”可知，挑战消极想法是一种看待你真实情况并恢复你积极态度的方式，可推理出空白处说的是挑战消极想法并不是简单地告诉自己一切都没问题，而是要看到你的真实情况并恢复你积极的态度。E项“This doesn’t mean just telling yourself everything’s fine(这并不意味着只是告诉自己一切都没问题)”符合上下文语境，故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Engaging in rewarding activities can help you stay active and out of depression. This can involve scheduled activities of mental health strategies. For example, you can start your day with positive self-talk and end it by writing down something you are grateful for.(参与有益的活动可以帮助你保持活跃，远离抑郁。这可以包括心理健康策略的计划活动。例如，你可以以积极的自我对话开始你的一天，并以写下你感激的事情来结束它)”可知，参与有益的活动可以帮助你保持活跃并远离抑郁，可推理出下文说的是将这些有益的活动纳入日常可以帮助应对抑郁症。G项“Including these activities into your routine can help with depression(将这些活动纳入你的日常可以帮助应对抑郁症)”符合上下文语境，故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“When you’re struggling with depression, it can be difficult to be grateful.(当你在与抑郁症作斗争时，很难感到感激)”以及下文“Focusing on gratitude can bring you an increased sense of well-being, and help you transform your understanding of belongings and abilities into sources of gratitude.(专注于感恩可以带给你更多的幸福感，并帮助你将对拥有物和能力的理解转化为感恩的来源)”可知，与抑郁症作斗争时很难感到感激，但专注于感恩可以带给你更多的幸福感，可推理出空白处说的是尽管感到感激很难，但它对心理健康有好处。F项“However, being appreciative has mental health benefits(然而，感到感激对心理健康有好处)”符合上下文语境，故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据下文“Sometimes people feel forced to apply a label they didn’t want, but it doesn’t need to be part of an identity. Depression is one of the mind and body’s ways of saying you need to make a change. Recognizing it helps you become open to figuring out what led to the depression.(有时人们会觉得自己被迫贴上一个他们不想要的标签，但这不必成为身份的一部分。抑郁症是身心在告诉你需要做出改变的一种方式。认识到这一点有助于你敞开心扉，找出导致抑郁症的原因)”可知，不要拒绝标签，要意识到抑郁症是身心在告诉你需要做出改变的一种方式，可推理出接受抑郁症标签有助于应对抑郁症。B项“Learn to accept it(学会接受它)”符合上下文语境，故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Days ago, my 91-year-old grandfather called me to test his new hearing aid.

Without music, I was shy, very quiet and the type of person that would only talk when asked to. As a little kid, I would hear my parents sing me to sleep and I loved to sing when I grew up. Music allowed me to express myself. It made me happy. There was nothing that could keep me away from my passion, until high school. Every ninth grader who wanted to be in the show choir (歌舞合唱团) (dancing and singing) during high school could audition (试镜) for the program. On the day the audition was held, I waited with the other students. We were called in one by one. It was my turn to enter the room. I walked in. I was a little nervous, and my throat was dry. The room was small with a piano in the middle of it. The singing audition went like this, introduction, a song of our choice and matching a note (调) the director played on the piano. Before I knew it, the audition was over. I hit every note in the song. I took a breath of relief. A week later, there was a dance audition for the show choir. I felt that I had done an amazing job, changing my facial expressions to match the turns. Weeks passed and the list of who had made it into the show choir was posted. “Have you seen the list? I got in!” one of my friends said. “No,” I replied looking at the web page for the results. I moved the page down and found my name. “Angelica H. — alternate (替补)” An alternate? Was my audition that bad? My movements were graceful. Maybe it was the singing. Did I not hit the right notes? I thought to myself. After I saw this, my confidence disappeared. I had no intention of joining the show choir. I was torn from something that I thought made me different from others. A year passed, I realized that it was not smart of me to give up on what I loved. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 I was at a restaurant with my family, which had a karaoke machine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I realized not getting into the program did not mean that I had to give up all hope ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was at a restaurant with my family, which had a karaoke machine. My parents encouraged me to go up and sing. I rejected their proposal. At their repeated request, I got enough courage to go up finally. It took me back to the moment when I was auditioning for the show choir in the ninth grade. I chose a song and began to sweat. I started off my song and gained more confidence as I continued. While I hit the high notes the people eating there cheered for me. I determined to sing from that day on. I realized not getting into the program did not mean that I had to give up all hope. I still loved to sing. I still had that passion. The lesson I learned was if you are turned down or do not get the result you want, and it is something you’re in love with, don’t give up. I never did try out for any show choirs again but I knew I had taken back my passion. For the future I know that I won’t always get the result I want but I will continue to work just as hard. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者喜欢音乐，作者在高中时想加入合唱团，在试镜时，作者觉得表现还不错，但是结果没有被合唱团录取，作者很失望。一年过去了，作者意识到放弃自己所热爱的东西是不明智的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我和家人在一家餐厅，那里有一台卡拉ok机。”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓起勇气上上台唱歌，想起了年级参加合唱团试镜的那一刻以及获得了在场人的喝彩，作者决定唱歌。 ②由第二段首句内容“我意识到没有参加这个项目并不意味着我必须放弃所有的希望。”可知，第二段可描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：上台唱歌——想起参加合唱团试镜——获得信息——决定唱歌——学到的教训——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage /motivate ②拒绝：reject/refuse ③选择：choose /select ④决定：determine/decide 情绪类 ①热情：passion/enthusiasm 【点睛】[高分句型1] It took me back to the moment when I was auditioning for the show choir in the ninth grade.

And all at the right price. This doesn’t necessarily mean cheap, but definitely does mean value for money. Kiln Price: Mid-range When to go: When your funds are running low. What to have: The superbly tender, spiced beef is a true crowd-pleaser. Kiln is a continuation of the Thai barbecue theme. Its simple, stripped-back (精简) look work perfectly with the style of cooking. Quality, Brit-sourced meat and fish are grilled, and served with the flavor-packed sauces typical of rural Thailand. Hoppers Price: Affordable When to go: When you want to say to your mouth, “you SHALL go to the ball!” What to have: The Indian bread. Hoppers is exclusively Sri Lankan. The small room is always full, but it’s more than worth the wait. If small plates, full flavors and unapologetic spicing are your bag, Hoppers will get your pulse and your taste buds (味蕾) racing. Bright Price: Mid-range When to go: When you’re bored of all other food. What to have: Look out for the likes of homemade pizza or pasta. Eating at Bright is a little like eating in a glass box, which maybe you don’t expect to like, but that’s a good thing: There is less to take your attention away from the food. The compact menu changes daily, but is generally a mix of modernish small plates. Social Eating House Price: Blowout When to go: When you want a high-priced menu without the formality. What to have: Skillful cocktails in style. Social Eating House’s dark dining room, with its mirrored ceiling and modern artworks, feels cool and informal, while the menu delivers dishes that are at once highly varied, accessible and above all delicious. 21. What do all the restaurants have in common? A. Attracting wealthy people. B. Having modern dining rooms. C. Providing worthwhile food. D. Offering fantastic views. 22. What can we know about Hoppers? A. It usually holds dance balls. B. It always needs queuing for. C. It changes your taste buds. D. It rarely offers Sri Lankan dishes. 23. Which restaurant suits you best if you want to eat in an artistic environment? A. Kiln. B. Hoppers. C. Bright. D. Social Eating House. B Luke Grenfell—Shaw had a rare form of cancer. It started as a pain in his shoulder and the tumour spread to his lungs, making it stage four. The Oxford graduate was teaching English in Siberia when he suffered a shoulder pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his back that sent him back home to Bristol. “I was 24 years old. I had done an ultramarathon,” Luke says. “48 hours later. I was back in hospital in the UK.” On 19 June, 2018, doctors told Luke that he had cancer. “I had kind of worked out that it was cancer, but what kind of blew me away was the fact that it was stage four cancer,” says Luke. “That day, my life felt like it had disintegrated. My life had been comfortable and conventional. I had worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like that. That was all taken away.” On the day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind that he wanted to cycle around the world. It was something he had always hoped to do, but the cancer news made him realize that he couldn’t put it off. “I realized that the future had to become now,” Luke explains.

C I’m an 18-year-old pre-medical student, tall and good-looking; with two short story books and quite a number of essays to my credit. Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began. Born and raised in Africa, I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I, a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!” What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me. Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic (遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist (转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me— if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talk-show host and writer— she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame. Today, I’ ve grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to appreciate it. 28. What affected the author’s adjustment to her school life in Norway? A. Her appearance. B. Social discrimination. C. Her changing emotions. D. The climate in Norway. 29. What did the author’s occasional stuttering bring about according on Paragraph 3? A. Her lack of self-confidence. B. Her loss of interest in school. C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates. D. Her desire for chances to improve herself. 30. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and the girl on the bus? A. Blessed and proud. B. Confused and afraid. C. Amazed and relieved. D. Shocked and ashamed. 31. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill? A. Great minds speak alike. B. Stuttering is no barrier to success. C. Wisdom counts more than hard work. D. Famous people can’t live with their weaknesses. D As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. 32. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack. C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart. 33. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design? A. Diet plan. B. Professional background. C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition. 34. What does Levine’s research find? A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise. B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young. C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise. D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get. 35. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest? A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants. C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing how to deal with depression can help you live a fuller and more productive life.

Without music, I was shy, very quiet and the type of person that would only talk when asked to. As a little kid, I would hear my parents sing me to sleep and I loved to sing when I grew up. Music allowed me to express myself. It made me happy. There was nothing that could keep me away from my passion, until high school. Every ninth grader who wanted to be in the show choir (歌舞合唱团) (dancing and singing) during high school could audition (试镜) for the program. On the day the audition was held, I waited with the other students. We were called in one by one. It was my turn to enter the room. I walked in. I was a little nervous, and my throat was dry. The room was small with a piano in the middle of it. The singing audition went like this, introduction, a song of our choice and matching a note (调) the director played on the piano. Before I knew it, the audition was over. I hit every note in the song. I took a breath of relief. A week later, there was a dance audition for the show choir. I felt that I had done an amazing job, changing my facial expressions to match the turns. Weeks passed and the list of who had made it into the show choir was posted. “Have you seen the list? I got in!” one of my friends said. “No,” I replied looking at the web page for the results. I moved the page down and found my name. “Angelica H. — alternate (替补)” An alternate? Was my audition that bad? My movements were graceful. Maybe it was the singing. Did I not hit the right notes? I thought to myself. After I saw this, my confidence disappeared. I had no intention of joining the show choir. I was torn from something that I thought made me different from others. A year passed, I realized that it was not smart of me to give up on what I loved. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 I was at a restaurant with my family, which had a karaoke machine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I realized not getting into the program did not mean that I had to give up all hope. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
