Less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste was sent to landfills (垃圾填埋场) last year or any year since 2011. We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, which is why we end up paying expensive transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than paying fines to send it to landfills under The Landfill Tax of 1996. Why are we sending waste to Sweden? Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment. Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables. “In Sweden people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems. We worked on communications for a long time to make people not throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and reuse,” says Anria-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Sverige, the Swedish Waste Management’s recycling association. Over time, Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the freezing Swedish winter. “That’s a key reason that we have this district network, so we can use the heating from the waste plants. In the southern part of Europe they don’t use the heating from the waste; it just goes out of the chimney. Here we use it as a substitute for fossil fuel,’’ Ms Gripwall says. 8. Why has Sweden been importing rubbish from abroad in the past few years? A. To try out its recycling system. B. To keep its recycling plants running. C. To stop rubbish ending up iri landfills. D. To make greater profits from rubbish. 9. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sources” in Paragraph 3? A. Consumes. B. Saves. C. Obtains. D. Improves. 10. How does Sweden handle the heating from the waste plants? A. By making use of it to heat homes. B. By exchanging it for fossil fuel. C. By selling it to other countries. D. By sending it out from the chimney. 11. What conclusion can be drawn from the text? A. People in Sweden will be fined if they don’t have their waste recycled. B. Swedish rarely get close to nature to avoid harming it. C. Waste is imported and burnt mainly by the government in Sweden. D. Swedish have a strong environmental awareness. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述瑞典回收体系高效，家庭垃圾填埋率极低，还进口他国垃圾，这源于其环保文化、早征化石燃料税及全国性回收政策，且垃圾能源用于供暖。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported rubbish from other countries so that its recycling plants can function smoothly.(瑞典在垃圾回收方面做得非常出色，以至于多年来它一直从其他国家进口垃圾，以便其垃圾回收工厂能够正常运转)”可知，瑞典从他国进垃圾是为了让本国的垃圾回收工厂正常。故选B。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991(1991年，瑞典是最早对化石燃料征收高额税款的国家之一)”以及后文“almost half its electricity from renewables”可知，瑞典是1991年第一批开始对化石燃料征收重税的国家之一，如今该国近一半的电力供应来自可再生能源，故source意为“获得”，与obtain同义。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Over time, Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the freezing Swedish winter.(随着时间的推移，瑞典实施了全国性的回收利用政策，尽管大部分废弃物的进口和焚烧工作由私营企业承担，但所产生的能源却被输送到全国的供暖网络中，用于在瑞典寒冷的冬季为居民供暖)”可知，瑞典人通过回收利用废弃物来为房屋供暖。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““In Sweden people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems.(在瑞典，人们非常热衷于亲近大自然，并且对于自然及环境问题的解决办法有着明确的认识)”可推知，瑞典人的环境意识很强。故选D。 D Given the popularity of inexpensive food that promotes overeating, it makes sense that we try to guard against “cheap and unhealthy” food in an effort to be healthy. But we may be overcorrecting, forgetting that “cheap and healthy” food exists, too. According to a recent study, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food, and that healthy food just needs to be expensive. In fact, the researcher found that a high-price tag (标签) will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful. “It’s concerning. The findings suggest that price of food alone can affect our understanding of what is healthy,’’ Rebecca Reczek, researcher of the study, said. According to Reczek, the purpose of the study was to examine the popular belief,also known as a lay (非专业的) theory, that eating healthy food means spending more money. In one experiment, Reczek gave participants a new food product. Some participants were told the product was very healthy. Others were told the product had little nutritional value. Participants who were told the product was good for them rated it as pricier (更昂贵的) than those who thought it was unhealthy. In another experiment, participants were given a health food bar labeled (用标签标明) as “the healthiest protein bar on the planet”. Some participants were told the bar cost just $0.99, while others were told the bar was $4. And here’s what happened: The people who were given the “cheaper” bar needed to read more reviews about the product when it was priced at a lower price point in order to trust that it was healthy. The idea that we all believe healthy food needs to be more expensive works against Reczek. “We don’t have to be misled,” she said. “We can compare nutrition labels and we can do research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition (直觉).” 12. Which of the following statements reflects the author’s opinion? A. The cheaper food is the less people will eat. B. People’s health awareness needs improving. C. The price of food can’t reflect its health degree. D. It is wrong of people to seek health at all costs. 13. Why did Reczek carry out the study? A. To prove her belief. B. To test a lay theory. C. To promote healthy eating. D. To examine people’s idea of health. 14. What does Reczek suggest we do? A. Ignore nutrition labels. B. Believe our intuition. C. Shop smartly. D. Ignore the price tag. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. People falsely believe pricier food is healthier B. Don’t be misled by price tags any more C. What influences our choices when we buy food? D. How to eat cheaply and healthily? 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出很多人认为健康食品一定更贵，价格会影响人们对食物健康程度的判断，通过实验说明这一现象，并建议人们理性购物。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But we may be overcorrecting, forgetting that “cheap and healthy” food exists, too. (但我们可能矫枉过正，忘记了“便宜又健康”的食品也存在)”和第二段中“In fact, the researcher found that a high-price tag (标签) will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful. (事实上，研究者发现高价标签甚至会让消费者认为某种食品更健康)”可知，作者认为食品价格与其健康程度并无必然联系，言外之意是食物价格并不能反映其健康程度。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“According to Reczek, the purpose of the study was to examine the popular belief, also known as a lay (非专业的) theory, that eating healthy food means spending more money.(据雷泽克说，这项研究的目的是检验一种普遍的观点，即所谓的非专业理论，认为吃健康食品意味着要花更多的钱)”可知，雷泽克进行这项研究是为了检验一种非专业理论。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We don’t have to be misled,” she said. “We can compare nutrition labels and we can do research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition (直觉).(“我们不必被误导，”她说，“我们可以比较营养标签，我们可以在去杂货店之前做些研究。我们可以依据事实而不是直觉。”)”可知，雷泽克建议我们购物时要依据事实而不是直觉，要理性、明智，即聪明地购物。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“According to a recent study, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food, and that healthy food just needs to be expensive. In fact, the researcher found that a high price tag (标签) will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful.(根据最近的一项研究，很多人认为健康食品一定比不健康食品更贵，而且健康食品就应该贵。事实上，研究人员发现，高价标签甚至会让消费者相信某种食物是健康的)”可知，本文主要论述了人们错误地认为价格更高的食物更健康这一现象。故A项“People falsely believe pricier food is healthier(人们错误地认为越贵的食物越健康)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 It’s never too late to build new friendships or reconnect with old friends.

Spending time making friends and strengthening your friendships can pay off. Developing and keeping healthy friendships involves give-and-take.(无论何时开始建立新友谊或与老友重续旧情都为时不晚。花时间结交新朋友并巩固现有友谊会带来回报。建立并维持健康的人际关系需要相互付出)”以及下文“And other times you’re on the receiving end.(而有时则轮到你去接受（这些事情）了)”可知，上文提到“健康的友谊需要付出与回报”，下文则提到是接受者，推测本句是在说明付出的情况。故A选项“有时是你在给予支持”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据下文“This most-basic behavior, emphasized during childhood, remains the key to successful, adult relationships. Think of friendship as an emotional bank account. Every act of kindness and every expression of gratitude are deposits into this account, while criticism and negativity draw down the account.(这种最基本的行为在童年时期就已得到强调，它仍是建立成功成人关系的关键所在。可以把友谊比作一个情感储蓄账户。每一个善意的举动和每一次表达感激之情的行为都是向这个账户存入的款项，而批评和消极情绪则会从这个账户中扣除款项)”可知，下文提到“善意的行为和感恩的表达如同存入情感账户”，强调友善在友谊中的重要性，故C选项“要友善待人”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“● Open up. Build closeness with your friends by opening up about yourself.(●打开心扉。通过分享自己的情况来与朋友建立亲密关系)”可知，本段主题是“Open up”（敞开心扉），本句说明敞开心扉的具体表现，故E选项“要愿意分享个人经历和困扰”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“● Show that you can be trusted. Being responsible, reliable and dependable is key to forming strong friendships.(●要证明自己值得信赖。有责任心、可靠且值得信赖是建立牢固友谊的关键所在)”可知，本段强调“可信赖”，本句举例说明如何建立信任，故B选项“要记得自己的约会时间并准时到达”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“● Make yourself available. Building a close friendship takes time together. Make an effort to see new friends regularly, and to communicate with them in between meetups. You may feel awkward the first few times you talk on the phone or get together.(●让自己保持可联系状态。建立亲密的友谊需要彼此长时间的相处。要努力定期与新朋友见面，并在聚会之间与他们保持联系。在刚开始打电话交流或相聚的时候，你可能会感到有些不自在)”可知，上文提到“初次交流可能尴尬”，本句表示转折，说明这种感觉会随着彼此熟悉而消失，故F选项“但是，随着你们彼此更加熟悉，这种感觉很可能会逐渐消失”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分) 第一节 完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every morning, on my way to work, I sec homeless people sleeping on sidewalks. ___21___ they’re in need of help.

I don’t volunteer as many as I should so I generally purchase some tickets to give to people which might be going. Our concert performed last weekend. I found myself with one unusing ticket before the concert, because I went to the ticket table. I told to the person selling tickets to give them to the next person who was going to purchase a ticket. I didn’t see the ticket seller later, but I wondered that he had passed the kindly act forward. 【答案】1. singer→singers 2. many→much 3. which→who/that 4. 在performed前面加was 5. unusing→unused 6. because→so 7. 删除to 8. them→it 9. that→if/whether 10.kindly→kind 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者作为歌手志愿者团队的一员，如何帮助别人的个人经历故事。 【详解】1.考查名词单复数。句意：我们是一个由歌手组成的社区志愿者团体。句中名词singer“歌手”是可数名词，前无表示单数的量词和冠词，故需要将singer改为复数形式。故将singer改为singers。 2.考查副词。句意：我没有尽可能多地做志愿者，所以我通常会买一些票给可能去演唱会的人。修饰动词volunteer“做志愿工作”，应用as much as，表示程度，而as many as一般修饰可数名词。故将many改为much。 3.考查关系代词。句意：我没有尽可能多地做志愿者，所以我通常会买一些票给可能去演唱会的人。本句的定语从句which might be going“谁可能会去演唱会”用于修饰先行词people“人”，且关系词在定语从句中作主语，故关系代词需要改为who或者that。故将which改为who/that。 4.考查被动语态。句意：上周周末，我们的音乐会上演。本句主语our concert“我们的音乐会”与谓语动词perform“表演”构成被动关系，需要使用一般过去时的被动语态。故在performed前面加was。 5.考查形容词。句意：音乐会前，我发现自己有一张未使用的票，于是我去了售票处。修饰名词ticket“票”，表示“未被使用的”应用unused。故将unusing改为unused。 6.考查连词。句意：音乐会前，我发现自己有一张未使用的票，于是我去了售票处。句中because引导原因状语从句，但实际上主句I found myself with one unusing ticket before the concert“音乐会前，我发现自己有一张未使用的票”和从句I went to the ticket table“我去了售票处”构成因果关系，即“因为有票未被使用，所以去售票处。”，故应该使用连词so“所以”。故将because改为so。 7.考查动词介词搭配。句意：我告诉卖票的人把票给下一个买票的人。句中谓语动词told“告诉”为及物动词，不需要加介词to，能直接宾语the person“那个人”。故删除to。 8.考查代词。句意：我告诉卖票的人把票给下一个买票的人。根据句意可知，句中代词them“它们”指代的前文提到的the unused ticket“未被使用的票”，应该是单数，用it指代。故将them改为it。 9.考查宾语从句。句意：后来我没有见到售票员，但我想知道他是否把这种善举传递下去了。句中宾语从句的连接词that应该改为if或者whether，因为动词wondered“想知道”后面的宾语从语意而言，不是一个确定的观点，而是带有疑问“是否”成分。故将that改为if/whether。 10.考查形容词。句意：后来我没有见到售票员，但我想知道他是否把这种善举传递下去了。句中kindly表示“体贴地，友好地”时为副词，不能作定语修饰名词act“举动，行为”，需要改为形容词形式。故将kindly改为kind。 第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 52. 假定你是李华。本周日下午在市工人体育馆有一场音乐会，你想邀请外教Jack一同前往。请用英语给他写一封电子邮件。内容包括： 1. 音乐会相关信息； 2. 发出邀请； 3. 集合时间、地点等。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jack, ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Please let me know your decision before this Saturday!

Eighteen -year-old Grant Kessler of Ohio had a viral (广为传播的) moment after he put on a suit, tie and pocket square to prepare for his niece’s arrival. Grant’s 16-year-old sister Iris tweeted a photo of him in the waiting room on Tuesday. The caption reads, “My sister is about to have a baby and my brother shows up to the hospital in a suit because 4 first impressions matter. Iris’ tweet has received over 444 000 likes and 135 000 retweets (转发). Twitter users called Grant’s gesture “sweet” and “gentlemanly” and named him “Uncle of the Year”. The Kesslers’ elder sister Olivia gave birth to a baby girl named Carter, and Iris welcomed her with another tweet. Grant got his moment to meet baby Carter, and based on this adorable photo Iris shared, it looks like their meeting was a success. “This was typical behavior for Grant. He has a really cool personality,” Iris said, adding that he has an interesting experience as the only boy in a family of girls. 44 He’s a kid that you just sort of respect as soon as you meet him, and he likes to be liked,” she explained. Iris said she thinks her tweet was popular with people because it was simply “pure joy”. She believes the story offers an uplifting (鼓舞人心的) message. “I hope people see that there are such little ways that they can make people around them happy, and to just keep spreading love around in order to brighten anyone’s day that you can!” she said. 5.

C Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported rubbish from other countries so that its recycling plants can function smoothly. Less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste was sent to landfills (垃圾填埋场) last year or any year since 2011. We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, which is why we end up paying expensive transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than paying fines to send it to landfills under The Landfill Tax of 1996. Why are we sending waste to Sweden? Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment. Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables. “In Sweden people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems. We worked on communications for a long time to make people not throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and reuse,” says Anria-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Sverige, the Swedish Waste Management’s recycling association. Over time, Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the freezing Swedish winter. “That’s a key reason that we have this district network, so we can use the heating from the waste plants.

D Given the popularity of inexpensive food that promotes overeating, it makes sense that we try to guard against “cheap and unhealthy” food in an effort to be healthy. But we may be overcorrecting, forgetting that “cheap and healthy” food exists, too. According to a recent study, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food, and that healthy food just needs to be expensive. In fact, the researcher found that a high-price tag (标签) will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful. “It’s concerning. The findings suggest that price of food alone can affect our understanding of what is healthy,’’ Rebecca Reczek, researcher of the study, said. According to Reczek, the purpose of the study was to examine the popular belief,also known as a lay (非专业的) theory, that eating healthy food means spending more money. In one experiment, Reczek gave participants a new food product. Some participants were told the product was very healthy. Others were told the product had little nutritional value. Participants who were told the product was good for them rated it as pricier (更昂贵的) than those who thought it was unhealthy. In another experiment, participants were given a health food bar labeled (用标签标明) as “the healthiest protein bar on the planet”. Some participants were told the bar cost just $0.99, while others were told the bar was $4. And here’s what happened: The people who were given the “cheaper” bar needed to read more reviews about the product when it was priced at a lower price point in order to trust that it was healthy. The idea that we all believe healthy food needs to be more expensive works against Reczek. “We don’t have to be misled,” she said. “We can compare nutrition labels and we can do research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition (直觉).” 12. Which of the following statements reflects the author’s opinion? A. The cheaper food is, the less people will eat. B. People’s health awareness needs improving. C. The price of food can’t reflect its health degree. D It is wrong of people to seek health at all costs. 13. Why did Reczek carry out the study? A. To prove her belief. B. To test a lay theory. C. To promote healthy eating. D. To examine people’s idea of health. 14. What does Reczek suggest we do? A. Ignore nutrition labels. B. Believe our intuition. C. Shop smartly. D. Ignore the price tag. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. People falsely believe pricier food is healthier B. Don’t be misled by price tags any more C. What influences our choices when we buy food? D. How to eat cheaply and healthily? 第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 It’s never too late to build new friendships or reconnect with old friends.
