At 91, Dottie Brier has found the secret to youth: volunteering. For the last three decades, the woman has been a proud member of the Red Cross, giving her strong hands and warm smile to those who have survived the worst disasters in history, from Hurricane Andrew and Superstorm Sandy. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had, and I don’t get paid for it,” the woman living in New York joked.
Brier, one of the organization’s oldest volunteers, remembers the first disaster she was called to: when Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida in 1992, leaving 175,000 people homeless. After helping scores of hurricane victims (灾民), Brier quickly found her calling and job as a mental health volunteer.
By 1995, she was asked to become head of Disaster Services for the Greater New York Chapter of the Red Cross, where she created a mental health program for those who live through disasters and witness them.
“It’s not just the survivors who need our help; sometimes it’s the bystanders (旁观者),” Brier said, recalling a 2015 plane crash in Coney Island that killed four people. There were no survivors, only those who watched the plane fall from the sky. “Nobody was on the beach, thankfully, but they were on the boardwalk and saw the incident. It left them really shocked. “Brier spent the day giving a friendly car to anyone who needed it.” I just went through the crowd, just letting people know who I was and that I was available to talk,” she remembered. “Knowing that I was there was very meaningful to people.”
She also donates her time because the Red Cross has given her something else: a family.
“I really have enjoyed the people I have met. They’re very nice to me, and nobody seems to care that I’m older than anyone else,” she said. “They keep me young and active.”
4. After disasters, what does Brier mainly focus on?
A. Witness enquiry. B. First aid. C. Loss calculation. D. Mental health.
5. Why is the plane crash mentioned?
A. To demonstrate how terrible the crash was. B. To display the crucial role Brier played.
C. To highlight the importance of witnesses D. To show that safety is top priority.
6. According to the passage, what kind of person is Brier?
A. Helpful. B. Smart. C. Grateful. D. Tough.
7. How does Brier like her job?
A. It makes her fully occupied. B. It gives her fame and fortune.
C. It benefits her greatly. D. It helps her keep a happy marriage.

Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder is designed to achieve two goals: (1) to add a large number of words to your permanent working vocabulary and (2) to teach the most useful of the classical word-building roots to help you continue expanding your vocabulary in the future.
To achieve these goals, Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder employs an original way that takes into account how people learn and remember. Some vocabulary builders simply present their words in alphabetical (字母) order; some provide little or no discussion of the words and how to use them; and a few even fail to show the kinds of sentences in which the words usually appear. But memorizing a series of random and unrelated things can be difficult and time-consuming. The fact is that we tend to remember words easily and naturally when they appear in some meaningful context, when they’ve been shown to be useful and therefore worth remembering, and when they’ve been properly explained to us. Knowing exactly how to use a word is just as important as knowing what it means.
Studies have shown that the only way a new word will remain alive in your vocabulary is if it’s regularly strengthened through use and through reading. Learn the word here and look and listen for it elsewhere; you’ll probably find yourself coming across it frequently just as when you’ve bought a new car you soon realize how many other people own the same model. Pick a single word; study it, test yourself, and then try making up new sentences for each word. Be sure to pronounce every new word aloud at least once, along with its definition (释义).
Start using the words immediately. As soon as you feel confident with a word, start trying to work it into your writing wherever proper-your papers and reports, your diary and your poetry. An old saying goes, “Use it three times and it’s yours.” That may be, but don’t stop at three. Make the words part of your working vocabulary, the words that you can not only recognize when you see or hear them but that you can call on whenever you need them. Astonish your friends, amaze your relatives, surprise yourself (while trying not to be too much of a show-off) — and have fun!
8. What is Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder?
A. A brochure. B. A fiction. C. A textbook. D. A magazine.
9. What can we know about Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder?
A. It is scientific. B. It is expensive. C. It is traditional. D. It is simplified.
10. What does the author think is the best way to master a new word?
A. Repeating the pronunciation. B. Memorizing the definition.
C. Consulting with specialists. D. Using it when possible.
11. How does the author end this passage?
A. Sharply. B. Humorously. C. Emotionally. D. Logically.
D
The search for new, clean energy sources has occupied the attention of scientists and politicians for years. One common resource for green energy is the wind. A new twist on this old resource could cause the energy output of wind-power plants to rocket.
Standard wind-power plants rely on solid support and generally can only reach a height of 200 meters or so. Higher than that, winds tend to be stronger and more consistent, but the challenge is figuring out how to gain the energy from those winds. Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany have formed a kite-power research group. The group is working to develop kites with wings connected to electrical generators (发电机) on the ground.
The research group’s goal is to design a kite that can operate on its own for 24 hours. Research has begun, but many challenges remain, including making the generators more efficient and perfecting the automatic flight control and the structure of the kites. Nevertheless in June 2012, they demonstrated that their kites could operate automatically at a height of up to 700 meters.
Meanwhile, in Italy, researchers are working on a similar power generator that relies on kites. When the generator, called KiteGen, senses the wind blowing, kites are released from the ends of poles with high-resistance cables (线) to control their height and angle. These cables are able to move the kites if the system senses incoming objects such as planes, helicopters or even individual birds. The kites themselves are light, tough and able to reach fairly high altitudes. They circle around in the wind, which sets the core of the generator in motion, producing electricity. KiteGen has the potential to be very cost-effective in the long run. After the initial cost of designing and setting up the plant, little additional investment will be necessary, apart from standard repair. The plant also requires relatively little space, which makes it ideal for cities and means that multiple plants can be set up to provide even more energy.
Kite power has the potential to greatly improve on present wind-power strategies. In the future, it may be an efficient, cost-effective supplement (补充) to the other sources of energy we use, or even a replacement for some of them.
12. What does the underlined expression “a new twist” probably mean in the first paragraph?
A. A strict standard. B. A challenging task. C. A strong motivation. D. A clever idea.
13. If the wind-power plants are higher than 200 meters, what is the problem?
A. It is a waste of money. B. It is extremely dangerous.
C. It is hard to obtain the energy. D. It is totally unrealistic.
14. Why do both of the researches choose kites?
A. Kites can fly high. B. Kites are a new trend.
C. Kites are eco-friendly. D. Kites can replace old equipment
15. What is the author’s attitude towards kite power
A. Cautious B. Optimistic. C. Unclear. D. Critical.

Helping others can make you feel good. The key is to find the approach that works for you. There’s a saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit (继承) a fortune. ____16____”

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。
My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, then my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Mom,” I said on our way home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” She laughed, “We will have fun!”
“OK, kids!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing in the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years ago. Here goes!” Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself-and me!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My mom turned out to be very good at performing.

At 91, Dottie Brier has found the secret to youth: volunteering. For the last three decades, the woman has been a proud member of the Red Cross, giving her strong hands and warm smile to those who have survived the worst disasters in history, from Hurricane Andrew and Superstorm Sandy. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had, and I don’t get paid for it,” the woman living in New York joked.
Brier, one of the organization’s oldest volunteers, remembers the first disaster she was called to: when Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida in 1992, leaving 175,000 people homeless. After helping scores of hurricane victims (灾民), Brier quickly found her calling and job as a mental health volunteer.
By 1995, she was asked to become head of Disaster Services for the Greater New York Chapter of the Red Cross, where she created a mental health program for those who live through disasters and witness them.
“It’s not just the survivors who need our help; sometimes it’s the bystanders (旁观者),” Brier said, recalling a 2015 plane crash in Coney Island that killed four people. There were no survivors, only those who watched the plane fall from the sky. “Nobody was on the beach, thankfully, but they were on the boardwalk and saw the incident. It left them really shocked. “Brier spent the day giving a friendly car to anyone who needed it.” I just went through the crowd, just letting people know who I was and that I was available to talk,” she remembered. “Knowing that I was there was very meaningful to people.”
She also donates her time because the Red Cross has given her something else: a family.
“I really have enjoyed the people I have met. They’re very nice to me, and nobody seems to care that I’m older than anyone else,” she said. “They keep me young and active.”
4. After disasters, what does Brier mainly focus on?
A. Witness enquiry. B. First aid. C. Loss calculation. D. Mental health.
5. Why is the plane crash mentioned?
A. To demonstrate how terrible the crash was. B. To display the crucial role Brier played.
C. To highlight the importance of witnesses D. To show that safety is top priority.
6. According to the passage, what kind of person is Brier?
A. Helpful. B. Smart. C. Grateful. D. Tough.
7. How does Brier like her job?
A. It makes her fully occupied. B. It gives her fame and fortune.
C. It benefits her greatly. D. It helps her keep a happy marriage.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C

Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder is designed to achieve two goals: (1) to add a large number of words to your permanent working vocabulary, and (2) to teach the most useful of the classical word-building roots to help you continue expanding your vocabulary in the future.
To achieve these goals, Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder employs an original way that takes into account how people learn and remember. Some vocabulary builders simply present their words in alphabetical (字母) order; some provide little or no discussion of the words and how to use them; and a few even fail to show the kinds of sentences in which the words usually appear. But memorizing a series of random and unrelated things can be difficult and time-consuming. The fact is that we tend to remember words easily and naturally when they appear in some meaningful context, when they’ve been shown to be useful and therefore worth remembering, and when they’ve been properly explained to us. Knowing exactly how to use a word is just as important as knowing what it means.
Studies have shown that the only way a new word will remain alive in your vocabulary is if it’s regularly strengthened through use and through reading. Learn the word here and look and listen for it elsewhere; you’ll probably find yourself coming across it frequently, just as when you’ve bought a new car you soon realize how many other people own the same model. Pick a single word; study it, test yourself, and then try making up new sentences for each word. Be sure to pronounce every new word aloud at least once, along with its definition (释义).
Start using the words immediately. As soon as you feel confident with a word, start trying to work it into your writing wherever proper-your papers and reports, your diary and your poetry. An old saying goes, “Use it three times and it’s yours.” That may be, but don’t stop at three. Make the words part of your working vocabulary, the words that you can not only recognize when you see or hear them but that you can call on whenever you need them. Astonish your friends, amaze your relatives, surprise yourself (while trying not to be too much of a show-off) — and have fun!
8. What is Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder?
A A brochure. B. A fiction. C. A textbook. D. A magazine.
9. What can we know about Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder?
A. It is scientific. B. It is expensive. C. It is traditional. D. It is simplified.
10. What does the author think is the best way to master a new word?
A. Repeating the pronunciation. B. Memorizing the definition.
C. Consulting with specialists. D. Using it when possible.

The search for new, clean energy sources has occupied the attention of scientists and politicians for years. One common resource for green energy is the wind. A new twist on this old resource could cause the energy output of wind-power plants to rocket.
Standard wind-power plants rely on solid support and generally can only reach a height of 200 meters or so. Higher than that, winds tend to be stronger and more consistent, but the challenge is figuring out how to gain the energy from those winds. Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany have formed a kite-power research group. The group is working to develop kites with wings connected to electrical generators (发电机) on the ground.
The research group’s goal is to design a kite that can operate on its own for 24 hours. Research has begun, but many challenges remain, including making the generators more efficient and perfecting the automatic flight control and the structure of the kites. Nevertheless in June 2012, they demonstrated that their kites could operate automatically at a height of up to 700 meters.
Meanwhile, in Italy, researchers are working on a similar power generator that relies on kites. When the generator, called KiteGen, senses the wind blowing, kites are released from the ends of poles with high-resistance cables (线) to control their height and angle. These cables are able to move the kites if the system senses incoming objects such as planes, helicopters or even individual birds. The kites themselves are light, tough and able to reach fairly high altitudes. They circle around in the wind, which sets the core of the generator in motion, producing electricity. KiteGen has the potential to be very cost-effective in the long run. After the initial cost of designing and setting up the plant, little additional investment will be necessary, apart from standard repair. The plant also requires relatively little space, which makes it ideal for cities and means that multiple plants can be set up to provide even more energy.
Kite power has the potential to greatly improve on present wind-power strategies. In the future, it may be an efficient, cost-effective supplement (补充) to the other sources of energy we use, or even a replacement for some of them.
12. What does the underlined expression “a new twist” probably mean in the first paragraph?
A. A strict standard. B. A challenging task. C. A strong motivation. D. A clever idea.
13. If the wind-power plants are higher than 200 meters, what is the problem?
A. It is a waste of money. B. It is extremely dangerous.
C. It is hard to obtain the energy. D. It is totally unrealistic.
14. Why do both of the researches choose kites?
A. Kites can fly high. B. Kites are a new trend.
C. Kites are eco-friendly. D. Kites can replace old equipment
15. What is the author’s attitude towards kite power
A Cautious B. Optimistic. C. Unclear. D. Critical.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了利用风筝进行风力发电这一新型绿色能源技术,包括其原理、研究进展、优势以及潜在的应用前景,旨在向读者说明和解释这一新兴技术及其可能带来的影响。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“The search for new, clean energy sources has occupied the attention of scientists and politicians for years. One common resource for green energy is the wind. A new twist on this old resource could cause the energy output of wind-power plants to rocket.(多年来,寻找新型清洁能源一直是科学家和政客关注的焦点。风能作为一种常见的绿色能源,其开发利用如今有了新的突破——A new twist 这一古老资源可能使风力发电厂的能源产量大幅提升)”以及第二段“Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany have formed a kite-power research group. The group is working to develop kites with wings connected to electrical generators (发电机) on the ground.(荷兰代尔夫特理工大学与德国卡尔斯鲁厄应用科学大学组建了一个风筝发电研究小组,致力于开发将机翼与地面发电机相连的风筝系统)”可推测,“a new twist”指的是在传统风能利用基础上提出的新方法。荷兰和德国的研究小组通过风筝连接地面发电机来获取更高处的风能,这是一种巧妙的创意。选项D“A clever idea(一个巧妙的想法)”符合文中对新型发电方式的描述。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Standard wind-power plants rely on solid support and generally can only reach a height of 200 meters or so. Higher than that, winds tend to be stronger and more consistent, but the challenge is figuring out how to gain the energy from those winds.(传统风力发电厂依赖固定支架,通常高度仅约200米。更高处的风力往往更强且更稳定,但如何利用这些高处的风能仍是挑战)”可知,传统风力发电厂受限于固定支架,通常只能达到200米左右的高度。而更高处的风力虽然更强且更稳定,但问题在于如何从这些风中获取能量。这表明高度超过200米时,技术上的难点在于能量获取。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Nevertheless in June 2012, they demonstrated that their kites could operate automatically at a height of up to 700 meters.(尽管如此,2012年6月,他们成功演示了风筝在700米高空自主运行的能力)”可知,荷兰团队的风筝可至700米,利用风筝的飞行高度突破传统支架限制;再根据第四段“The kites themselves are light, tough and able to reach fairly high altitudes. They circle around in the wind, which sets the core of the generator in motion, producing electricity.(这些风筝自身轻盈坚韧,可抵达相当高的海拔,它们在风中盘旋时会带动发电机核心转动,从而产生电力)”可知,意大利的KiteGen通过风筝在风中盘旋带动发电机核心转动,其设计目的正是利用高空更强的风力。由此可知,两地研究选择风筝的关键在于其能飞到高空获取更强风力的特性,这一优势直接解决了传统风力发电的高度限制问题。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Kite power has the potential to greatly improve on present wind-power strategies. In the future, it may be an efficient, cost-effective supplement (补充) to the other sources of energy we use, or even a replacement for some of them.(风筝发电有望大幅改进现有的风力发电模式。未来,它可能成为我们使用的其他能源的高效、经济的补充,甚至可能取代其中一些能源)”可知,作者认为风筝发电有潜力大幅改进现有风力发电策略,未来可能成为高效、经济的能源补充,甚至取代部分传统能源。这些都体现出作者对风筝发电前景的乐观。故选B。

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:上海乐高乐园度假区将于7月5日正式向游客开放,该度假区在开业时将成为世界上最大的乐高乐园。根据空后July 5可知,空处需用介词on,表示在具体的某一天。故填on。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:美林娱乐公司首席战略投资组合发展官John Jakobsen表示:“我们很高兴在度假区开业时欢迎游客的到来,并准备为游客带来只有乐高乐园才能提供的富有想象力和创造力的主题公园体验。”根据空前动词welcoming可知,空处需用名词作宾语,guest“客人”为可数名词,此处表示泛指,其前无冠词修饰,所以空处需用名词复数。故填guests。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。分析句子结构可知,空处需用关系词引导定语从句,先行词是experience,指物,关系词在定语从句中作宾语,所以空处需用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。故填that/which。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该度假区位于金山区枫泾镇,专为2至12岁的儿童家庭设计。本句已有谓语动词is designed,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语,locate的逻辑主语是the resort,二者之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词located作状语,句首单词首字母需大写。故填Located。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:度假区的迷你乐园是全球标志性的乐高乐园景点,以城市景观、历史地标和自然奇观的乐高复制品为特色。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词signature,globe的形容词为global“全球的”。故填global。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:通过彩色灯光、沉浸式音景和互动游戏区,游客可以探索室内和室外的迷你乐园区域,以及一个特别设计的区域。根据空后area可知,空处需用冠词修饰,此处表示泛指,所以空处需用不定冠词a/an,specially-designed是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:门票现已发售,包括限量版First-to-Play年票(含主题公园预览票)和First-to-Stay酒店住宿套餐(含主题公园预览票),提供预览通道和全年优惠。本句话为主系表结构,根据空后now可知,句子为一般现在时态,陈述一般状态,主语为复数Tickets,所以be动词需用are。故填are。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。空处需填非谓语动词作状语,逻辑主语Tickets与offer为主谓关系,需用现在分词作状语。故填offering。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:高铁连接将使游客从上海虹桥火车站只需18分钟,从上海南站只需19分钟即可到达。allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”,固定搭配,所以空处需用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to arrive。
【45题详解】

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, then my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Mom,” I said on our way home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” She laughed, “We will have fun!”
“OK, kids!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing in the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years ago. Here goes!” Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself-and me!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version
“I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think. I closed my eyes, covered my ears and shrank as low as I possibly could in my chair. After a few seconds, though. I gathered courage to uncover one ear and peek through a half-open eye. That’s when I saw the expression of pure joy on my mom’s face. She was having so much fun that I couldn’t help smiling. My classmates clapped and cheered, and I heard someone say, “Wow! Arizona’s mother is pretty talented!”
My mom turned out to be very good at performing. She was also good at teaching us the song and the dance steps. too. We learned quickly. By the time of the fair, I was actually proud of her for putting herself out there for us kids. Our performance at the Winter Fair was a huge success. As we drove home, I said to my mom, “I’m really glad you volunteered to help my class with the performance.” My mom reached back and squeezed my hand. “Thanks for saying that. I can see why you might have been embarrassed, but I had such a great time.”
