As such, it’s a land of perfectly serviceable cardboard boxes, old magazines saved for the recipes I will never try, shoes that are just about but not quite worn out, a wood stove I rarely light and other odds and ends. Just the other night, I heard a scratching sound coming from the TV room. I went out to have a look, but of course there was no sound when I got there. Yet after I had gone to bed, it was loud enough to wake me. The next morning at breakfast the scratching continued even as I entered the room, long enough for me to identify the source, which was the stovepipe leading from the wood stove. Ever so carefully, I approached and opened the stove’s front doors. There it was — a surprised, little squirrel, looking straight up at me. I immediately shut the stove doors and considered what to do. I didn’t want to kill it, so I decided I would give it an easy escape route. I closed the door to the kitchen and opened the outside door. It was a windy, freezing day, and the cold air immediately rushed in. I threw the stove doors open, stepped back and waited — but not for long. The squirrel jumped out of the stove, but it was upset and didn’t head outside. Instead, it tore through my magazines in piles, ran up the curtains, and then broke my collection of soda bottles, sending several crashing to the floor. The animal was in a complete panic, and all I could do was stand back and hope it would leave. It finally dawned on me that I was probably the thing scaring it into a panic. So, I quickly left the room. When I returned it had gone. Job done. All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer. I made a great effort in making the room tidy. Finally, I had the clean, inviting space I had planned to have all along. 36. What does the author mean by describing the TV room as “a black hole”? A. The author cannot find anything in the TV room except a hole. B. The TV room contains various things that the author rarely uses. C. The TV room is too dark to see things as clear as possible. D. There is no space to put anything in the TV room. 37. What did the author do when he/she first saw the squirrel? A. The author attempted to catch it immediately. B. The author ignored the squirrel and left. C The author closed the stove’s front doors. D. The author caught it without any hesitation. 38. What does the word “panic” mean in Para.5? A A state of excitement and joy B. A state of standing still without moving C. A feeling of fear and anxiety D. A feeling of being embarrassed 39. According to the last paragraph, what is the author’s attitude towards the squirrel? A. The author was annoyed with the squirrel. B. The author was upset about the squirrel’s leaving. C. The author doesn’t like the squirrel. D. The author felt grateful to the squirrel. 40. What might the best title of the passage? A. A Squirrel’s Chaos Leads to an Unexpected Cleanup. B. A Squirrel’s Escape from a Wood Stove. C. Saving a Squirrel: A Lesson in Kindness. D. Trapped in the Stove: A Rescue Mission in Winter. B One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world. “The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats (麝鼠), shrews (鼩睛) and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s largest populations of raccoon now lives in Washington D. C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons (游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U. S. cities to prey on pigeons. Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent £750,000 to buy land and build10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict (荒废的) lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben. For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (悬崖栖息地). By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food. Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds. 41. The passage mentions a significant increase in mammal species in New York’s Central Park to _________. A. Highlight the unexpected diversity found in small urban parks. B. Provide evidence supporting the claim that wildlife in urban areas is increasing. C. Contrast the wildlife success in New York with the failure in other cities. D. Argue that shrews and flying squirrels are better adapted to cities than foxes. 42. Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife is returning to the cities? A Food is plentiful in the cities. B. Wildlife is threatened by predators in the wild. C. Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities 43. The underlined word “tallied” in Para.2 means _________. A. Distinguished B. described C. counted D. excluded 44. The example of San Francisco testing rainwater basins implies that _________. A. Cities prioritize bird attraction over clean water management: B. Ecological benefits and practical functions cannot be achieved at the same time. C. Wildlife habitats in cities can be designed to serve dual purposes. D. Birds are the best indicator species for urban water cleanliness. 45 What is the passage mainly about? A. Wildlife returning to large cities B. Foxes returning to London C. Wild animals living in zoos D. A survey of wildlife in New York C Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth, through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self-worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not. This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment. As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation (认同) will start to disappear, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imaging how much time we lose every time we restrict our true selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliche (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it. 46. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation? A. We should see through others’ attempt to make a prisoner of us B. We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us. C. We can never really please others even if we try as hard as we can. D. We should care about others’ view as much as they care about our own. 47. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people’s approval? A. Our desire to be loved will be fulfilled. B. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting. C. Our identity as social beings will be affected. D. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced. 48. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of? A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others. B. Our understanding of the workings of the world. C. Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment. D. Our early childhood fear of being deserted. 49. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval? A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Exercise self-restriction. C. Receive more external validation. D. Strengthen our power of imagination. 50. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Embrace life for ourselves and for others. B. Base our worth on others’ opinions. C. See our experiences as resources. D. Love ourselves as we are. 第Ⅱ卷 (满分20分) 注意事项：请用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能使用修改液。 五、阅读表达(共5个小题，每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In Sichuan Province, long-time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve, is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware (漆器) skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations. Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist. Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China. Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (自治州) in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew. “I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I've never seen their villages. It’s only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent. This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent’s exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path: the ideas of a modern artist, but rooting the ancient skills in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.” 51. What is Vincent devoted to according to the text? (no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________ 52. What does the underlined word “unravel” in paragraph 2 mean? (1 word) _______________________________________________________________ 53. Why did Vincent travel to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture?

With all the problems ________, their friendship now stands firmer than ever. A. approaching B. approached C. to approach D. being approached 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查with的复合结构。句意：随着所有问题的解决，他们的友谊现在比以往任何时候都更加牢固。本句谓语为stands，此处为with复合结构，problems与approach“解决”之间为被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补。故填approached。 9. ________ the whole family get together during the Spring Festival is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. A. That B. What C. When D. Which 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：全家人春节团聚深深植根于中国文化之中。分析句子结构可知，“________ the whole family get together during the Spring Festival”为主语从句，且句子成分完整，句意通顺，所以应用连接代词that来引导，that只起连接作用，无实义，在从句中也不作任何句子成分。B. what所……，……的事情； C. when何时，……的时候；D. which哪一个，它们在引导名词性从句时，在句中均有实际意义，且在句子中需充当成分，不符合语境语法。故选A项。 10. At the photography exhibition, the photos, which employed artful techniques and ________ rare natural landscapes, looked ________ to the audience. A. capturing; fascinating B. captured; fascinated C capturing; fascinated D. captured; fascinating 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和形容词。句意：在摄影展上，这些照片采用了巧妙的技术，捕捉了罕见的自然景观，让观众着迷。and连接动词employed和captured，作谓语。所以第一个空为captured，第二个空为形容词作表语，主语为物the photos，所以形容词为ing结尾的形容词fascinating。故选D项。 11. The companies had to find out _________ what types of music would be attractive to customers. A. on standby B. on the cutting edge C. by trial and error D. out of mercy 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：这些公司必须通过反复试验，弄清楚哪种类型的音乐能吸引顾客。A. on standby随时待命；B. on the cutting edge处于最前沿；C. by trial and error通过反复试验；D. out of mercy出于怜悯。根据句意和what types of music would be attractive to customers可知，这里指公司需要通过反复试验找到迎合顾客的音乐。故选C项。 12. Despite facing immense pressure from the public, the mayor refused to ________ on his decision to open the park, insisting it was necessary for the local economy. A. bring forth B. break new ground C. back down D. think outside the box 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：尽管面临来自公众的巨大压力，市长拒绝放弃开放公园的决定，坚持认为这对当地经济是必要的。A. bring forth提出；产生；B. break new ground开辟新天地；创新；C. back down让步；放弃；D. think outside the box跳出思维定势。根据“Despite facing immense pressure（尽管面临巨大压力）”和“refused to...（拒绝……）”可知，市长在压力下仍坚持决定，“back down”表示“退缩、让步”，与“拒绝放弃决定”的语境相符，体现出市长的坚持。故选C项。 13. The spokesman did not regret what he had said at the conference but felt that he ________ it indirectly. A. could express B. would express C. could have expressed D. must have expressed 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词+have done。句意：这位发言人对他在会上所说的话并不感到后悔，但他觉得他本可以间接地表达出来。根据句意可知，他觉得他本来能够间接地表达（却没有那样做）。显然是对过去的事表示遗憾，因此应该使用could have done，could have done用于肯定句，表示本来可以做却未做。故选C。 14. He was known for his _____ behavior, always standing up for what was right. A. repulsive B. loyal C. righteous D. obsessive 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他以正直的行为著称，总是为正义挺身而出。A. repulsive令人厌恶的；排斥的；B. loyal忠诚的；C. righteous正直的；正义的；D. obsessive着迷的；强迫性的。根据“always standing up for what was right.”可知，他的行为是正直的。故选C。 15. —Are you still mad? But you can’t just shut me out like this! We need to talk! —______. I’m done arguing. A. It’s not a big deal. B. Enough is enough. C. Better late than never. D. All’s well that ends well. 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——你还在生气吗？但你不能就这样把我拒之门外！我们得谈谈！——够了。我不想再争论了。A. It’s not a big deal. 没什么大不了的；B. Enough is enough. 够了，到此为止；C. Better late than never. 迟到总比不到好；D. All’s well that ends well. 结果好就一切都好。根据上下句句意可知，此处为短语Enough is enough.“够了，到此为止”，满足句意要求。故选B项。 三、完形填空(共20个小题，每小题1分，满分20分) Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of their country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty.

As such, it’s a land of perfectly serviceable cardboard boxes, old magazines saved for the recipes I will never try, shoes that are just about but not quite worn out, a wood stove I rarely light and other odds and ends. Just the other night, I heard a scratching sound coming from the TV room. I went out to have a look, but of course there was no sound when I got there. Yet after I had gone to bed, it was loud enough to wake me. The next morning at breakfast the scratching continued even as I entered the room, long enough for me to identify the source, which was the stovepipe leading from the wood stove. Ever so carefully, I approached and opened the stove’s front doors. There it was — a surprised, little squirrel, looking straight up at me. I immediately shut the stove doors and considered what to do. I didn’t want to kill it, so I decided I would give it an easy escape route. I closed the door to the kitchen and opened the outside door. It was a windy, freezing day, and the cold air immediately rushed in. I threw the stove doors open, stepped back and waited — but not for long. The squirrel jumped out of the stove, but it was upset and didn’t head outside. Instead, it tore through my magazines in piles, ran up the curtains, and then broke my collection of soda bottles, sending several crashing to the floor. The animal was in a complete panic, and all I could do was stand back and hope it would leave. It finally dawned on me that I was probably the thing scaring it into a panic. So, I quickly left the room. When I returned it had gone. Job done. All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer. I made a great effort in making the room tidy. Finally, I had the clean, inviting space I had planned to have all along. 36. What does the author mean by describing the TV room as “a black hole”? A. The author cannot find anything in the TV room except a hole. B. The TV room contains various things that the author rarely uses. C. The TV room is too dark to see things as clear as possible. D. There is no space to put anything in the TV room. 37. What did the author do when he/she first saw the squirrel? A. The author attempted to catch it immediately. B. The author ignored the squirrel and left. C. The author closed the stove’s front doors. D. The author caught it without any hesitation. 38. What does the word “panic” mean in Para.5? A. A state of excitement and joy B. A state of standing still without moving C. A feeling of fear and anxiety D. A feeling of being embarrassed 39. According to the last paragraph, what is the author’s attitude towards the squirrel? A. The author was annoyed with the squirrel. B. The author was upset about the squirrel’s leaving. C. The author doesn’t like the squirrel. D. The author felt grateful to the squirrel. 40. What might the best title of the passage? A. A Squirrel’s Chaos Leads to an Unexpected Cleanup. B. A Squirrel’s Escape from a Wood Stove. C. Saving a Squirrel: A Lesson in Kindness. D. Trapped in the Stove: A Rescue Mission in Winter. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. C 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自家电视房因堆放杂物而混乱不堪。一天，一只松鼠被困在房内的木炉里。作者打开门窗试图让松鼠逃走，但松鼠惊慌失措，制造了更大混乱。最终松鼠离开，作者趁机清理了房间。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The TV room at the south end of our house is like a black hole: It’s the place where things often end up if there’s no other place to put them, or if I can’t decide whether to throw them away. As such, it’s a land of perfectly serviceable cardboard boxes, old magazines saved for the recipes I will never try, shoes that are just about but not quite worn out, a wood stove I rarely light and other odds and ends.(我们家南端的电视房就像一个黑洞：如果找不到其他地方放东西，或者我拿不定主意要不要扔掉，东西最终都会堆到那里。因此，这里成了完好无损的纸板箱、为我永远不会尝试的食谱而保存的旧杂志、快要穿坏但还没完全穿坏的鞋子、我很少生火的木炉以及其他各种零碎物品的天下)”可知，作者说自家电视房就像一个黑洞，指她一旦有用不着又舍不得扔的东西都放那里，导致那里放着各种各样的很少用到的杂物。故选B项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I immediately shut the stove doors and considered what to do.(我立刻关上了炉子的门，考虑接下来该怎么办)”可知，作者发现炉子里有一只松鼠的第一反应就是把炉子前门关住。故选C项。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“The squirrel jumped out of the stove, but it was upset and didn’t head outside. Instead, it tore through my magazines in piles, ran up the curtains, and then broke my collection of soda bottles, sending several crashing to the floor.(松鼠从炉子里跳了出来，但它很不安，并没有朝外面去。相反，它在一堆堆杂志里撕扯着，爬上窗帘，然后打碎了我的汽水瓶收藏，好几个瓶子摔到地上碎了)”可知，小松鼠的表现说明它很恐惧慌乱，由此推测panic的意思是“恐慌”。故选C项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer. I made a great effort in making the room tidy. Finally, I had the clean, inviting space I had planned to have all along.(总的来说，那天完成了两项工作。我不仅把松鼠赶走了，而且这个动物还帮我做了一件大事：它把电视房弄得比以前更乱了，乱到我再也无法忍受。我费了好大一番功夫才把房间整理干净。最后，我得到了我一直计划要的那个干净、吸引人的空间)”推测，最后作者对小松鼠的出现是感激的，此事促使她把电视房清理干净了，做了她一直想做去没做的事情。故选D项。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer. I made a great effort in making the room tidy. Finally, I had the clean, inviting space I had planned to have all along.(总的来说，那天完成了两项工作。我不仅把松鼠赶走了，而且这个动物还帮我做了一件大事：它把电视房弄得比以前更乱了，乱到我再也无法忍受。我费了好大一番功夫才把房间整理干净。最后，我得到了我一直计划要的那个干净、吸引人的空间)”可知，本文主要讲述了一只小松鼠的意外出现把作者家原本就乱糟糟装满杂物的电视房弄得更糟，促使她对电视房做了大清理，得到了一个干净整洁的屋子，做了她一直想做去没做的事情。所以短文的最佳标题为“A Squirrel’s Chaos Leads to an Unexpected Cleanup.翻译 一只松鼠引发混乱，带来意外的大扫除”。故选A项。 B One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world. “The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats (麝鼠), shrews (鼩睛) and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s largest populations of raccoon now lives in Washington D. C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons (游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U. S. cities to prey on pigeons. Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent £750,000 to buy land and build10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict (荒废的) lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben. For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (悬崖栖息地). By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food. Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds. 41. The passage mentions a significant increase in mammal species in New York’s Central Park to _________. A. Highlight the unexpected diversity found in small urban parks. B. Provide evidence supporting the claim that wildlife in urban areas is increasing. C. Contrast the wildlife success in New York with the failure in other cities. D. Argue that shrews and flying squirrels are better adapted to cities than foxes. 42. Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife is returning to the cities? A. Food is plentiful in the cities. B. Wildlife is threatened by predators in the wild. C. Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities 43. The underlined word “tallied” in Para.2 means _________. A. Distinguished B. described C. counted D. excluded 44. The example of San Francisco testing rainwater basins implies that _________. A. Cities prioritize bird attraction over clean water management: B. Ecological benefits and practical functions cannot be achieved at the same time. C. Wildlife habitats in cities can be designed to serve dual purposes. D. Birds are the best indicator species for urban water cleanliness. 45. What is the passage mainly about? A. Wildlife returning to large cities B. Foxes returning to London C. Wild animals living in zoos D. A survey of wildlife in New York 【答案】41. B 42. B 43. C 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍随着环境改善等多种因素，野生动物正回归城市，以伦敦、纽约等地为例阐述这一现象及原因，并提及城市可通过创造多功能栖息地吸引野生动物。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland.(马里兰州哥伦比亚市国家城市野生动物研究所所长戈默·琼斯说：“城市地区野生动物的数量和种类正在增加。”)”，紧接着提到纽约中央公园哺乳动物物种数量的显著增加，可知此处提及该内容是为了提供证据支持城市野生动物数量在增加这一观点。故选B项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution - control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges have been created.(首先，由于20世纪70年代的污染控制措施，许多城市的空气和水质得到了改善。与此同时，农村地区得到了开发，许多动物来到了郊区边缘。此外，城市还建立了野生动物保护区)”以及第四段“for cities afforded abundant food(因为城市提供了丰富的食物)”可知，A选项“Food is plentiful in the cities.(城市里食物充足)”、C选项“Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities(城市里建立了野生动物保护区)”、D选项“Air and water quality has improved in the cities(城市的空气和水质得到了改善)”均是野生动物回归城市的原因。B选项“Wildlife is threatened by predators in the wild.(野生动物在野外受到捕食者的威胁)”在文中未提及是野生动物回归城市的原因。故选B项。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“A survey of the wildlife in New York's Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats(麝鼠), shrews(鼩睛) and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species.(去年对纽约中央公园野生动物的一项调查tallied哺乳动物的种类，包括麝鼠、鼩鼱和飞鼠。19 世纪 90 年代进行的一项类似调查仅统计出了五个物种)”可知，此处“tallied”与“counted”意思相近，意为“统计，计数”。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The trick is to create habitats where they can be self - sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.(诀窍在于创造栖息地，让它们能够自给自足，同时又能被看到和欣赏。这样的栖息地甚至可以具有功能性。在旧金山，当地政府正在测试不同类型的雨水控制盆地，不仅要看看哪些能保持最清洁的水，还要看看哪些能吸引最多的鸟类)”可知，旧金山测试雨水盆地的例子表明城市中的野生动物栖息地可以被设计成具有双重目的，既保持水质又吸引鸟类。故选C项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇以伦敦狐狸回归为例，接着阐述城市野生动物数量和种类增加这一现象，分析其原因，并提及城市可创造多功能栖息地吸引野生动物，整体围绕野生动物回归大城市展开。A选项“Wildlife returning to large cities(野生动物回归大城市)”符合文章主旨。故选A项。 C Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth, through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self-worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not. This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment. As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation (认同) will start to disappear, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imaging how much time we lose every time we restrict our true selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliche (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it. 46. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation? A. We should see through others’ attempt to make a prisoner of us B. We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us. C. We can never really please others even if we try as hard as we can. D. We should care about others’ view as much as they care about our own. 47. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people’s approval? A. Our desire to be loved will be fulfilled. B. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting. C. Our identity as social beings will be affected. D. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced. 48. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of? A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others. B. Our understanding of the workings of the world. C. Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment. D. Our early childhood fear of being deserted. 49. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval? A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Exercise self-restriction. C. Receive more external validation. D. Strengthen our power of imagination. 50. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A Embrace life for ourselves and for others. B Base our worth on others’ opinions. C. See our experiences as resources. D. Love ourselves as we are. 【答案】46. B 47. B 48. D 49. A 50.

Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist. Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China. Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (自治州) in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew. “I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I've never seen their villages. It’s only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent. This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent’s exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path: the ideas of a modern artist, but rooting the ancient skills in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.” 51.
