He was then awarded (奖励) some credit points which can be used to buy something or give charity meals to old people and children in need. The “Clear Plate” mini-program was produced by Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University in 2018. The idea to develop such a mini-program came from Liu’s experience in a restaurant. In 2017, he found that a restaurant would give people small gifts if they finished off their food six times. “I think it was a great idea to save food. And I thought of using the Internet to do the similar thing,” he said. Liu organized (组织) a team of 20 members to work on the project at the end of 2017. To solve the AI’s problem of identifying (识别) photos of empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting over 10000 samples (样本) in restaurants. In 2018, the mini-program was put into use on Oct. 16, World Food Day. The “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and now has more than 5 million users. It helps many people develop a good habit in a more interesting way. At the same time, it helps save food and help more people in trouble. Liu hopes people from other countries can use the program too in the future. “We hope to inspire everyone to take action against food waste,” he said. 29.

Sometimes you can see the changes happening. A volcano can erupt (喷发) and shoot out red hot lava (岩浆). When the lava reaches the ocean, it cools and forms new land. The island grows. But most changes are hard to see. Storms and wind blow dirt and sand from one side of the island and pile them up on another side. Oceans wash away earth and rocks from one beach and carry them to another. The island changes shapes slowly, a little bit at a time. People on some small ocean islands are worried. They think their islands are changing shapes too fast. On some islands, the whole beaches have been washed away. Places that used to be dry have been wetter and wetter. Why are so many islands becoming smaller and smaller? Scientists say people cause pollution. They burn gas and coal for cars and factories, they cut down rainforests, and more. The pollution stores heat and makes Earth hotter. Warmer temperatures melt the ice at the North and South Poles. The melting ice flows into the ocean and raises sea levels. As a result, islands disappear. But there is hope. Scientists are looking for ways to stop sea levels rising and they are also looking for clean ways to run cars and factories. People are helping too, by recycling, planting trees, driving less, and wasting less. Together, we can stop the world’s islands from disappearing (消失). 32. What is true about the islands from the first two paragraphs? A. The ocean cools and the new islands form. B. You can always see the changes happening. C. Storms and wind wash away earth and rocks. D. They sometimes need a long time to change shapes. 33. Which is the right order for islands becoming smaller and smaller? ①Pollution causes Earth to warm ②Sea levels rise, land disappears ③Ice at the poles melts. ④People pollute A. ④①②③ B. ④②①③ C. ④③①② D. ④①③② 34. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) about the future? A. He feels angry. B. He feels excited. C. He feels hopeful. D. He feels worried. 35. What can be the title of the passage? A. Disappearing Islands. B. Moving Islands. C. Polluted Islands. D. Smaller Islands. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了岛屿会改变形状，人类污染让不少岛屿变小甚至要消失，不过人们在想办法阻止。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But most changes are hard to see... The island changes shapes slowly, a little bit at a time.”可知，岛屿的大多数变化难以察觉，形状改变得很缓慢，即有时需要很长时间才能改变形状。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scientists say people cause pollution... The pollution stores heat and makes Earth hotter. Warmer temperatures melt the ice at the North and South Poles... The melting ice flows into the ocean and raises sea levels. As a result, islands disappear.”可知，岛屿变小的正确顺序是：人们制造污染（④）→污染导致地球变暖（①）→极地冰川融化（③）→海平面上升，陆地消失（②）。故选D。 【34题详解】 观点态度题。根据“But there is hope. Scientists are looking for ways to stop sea levels rising... Together, we can stop the world’s islands from disappearing.”可知，作者提到“有希望”，并阐述了科学家和人们为阻止岛屿消失所做的努力，说明作者对未来持充满希望的态度。故选C。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章内容，先介绍岛屿形状会变化，再重点说明许多岛屿因人类污染导致海平面上升而逐渐变小、面临消失的问题，最后提及阻止岛屿消失的希望和方法，核心围绕“Disappearing Islands”展开。故选A。 D Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job? It is a fine day. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather.

I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident (自信的) in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success. Attitudes (态度) decide everything.” With an optimistic attitude, life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us. 36. What is the advice when you feel life is tiring? A To cheer up and smile. B. To stay in bed and rest. C.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过生活中的常见情境（如疲惫、雨天、失败）倡导积极乐观的态度，强调微笑面对生活的重要性。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time.”可知，应对生活疲惫的建议是保持积极态度。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you?”可知，作者建议将雨天视为享受自然的机会。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope.”可知，面对失败时最糟糕的是失去信心。故选D。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“With an optimistic attitude, life is easy and pleasant.”及上下文对积极态度的强调，可推断“optimistic”意为“乐观的”。故选B。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。全文围绕“微笑面对生活”展开，最后一段总结句“Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.”点明主旨。选项B“Smile and the World Smiles to You”最贴合主题。故选B。 第二节 阅读表达（共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 When I’m in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. I put my heart into it so that I can forget all the unhappy things. I’ve developed a habit of reading in this way. When I was a little boy, I was interested in comic books and storybooks. When I was a middle school student, I began to read novels, plays, essays (散文) and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little, I took a great interest in literature (文学) and last term I won first prize in the composition contest among high school students in our city. Reading The Emperor’s New Clothes makes me laugh a lot over the emperor’s silly behavior. The Little Match Girl makes me feel sad. Robinson Crusoe takes me into a strange world full of danger. And I am also deeply moved by Helen Keller’s spirit of being strong and never giving up. Besides these, books also tell me other things—how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can let me know what I didn’t know before. So I think good books are just like my best friends. 41.

A. a website of China Daily B. a science magazine C. a picture D. a book B After finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a mini-program (小程序) called “Clear Plate” and took a photo of his empty plates. He was then awarded (奖励) some credit points which can be used to buy something or give charity meals to old people and children in need. The “Clear Plate” mini-program was produced by Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University in 2018. The idea to develop such a mini-program came from Liu’s experience in a restaurant. In 2017, he found that a restaurant would give people small gifts if they finished off their food six times. “I think it was a great idea to save food. And I thought of using the Internet to do the similar thing,” he said. Liu organized (组织) a team of 20 members to work on the project at the end of 2017. To solve the AI’s problem of identifying (识别) photos of empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting over 10000 samples (样本) in restaurants. In 2018, the mini-program was put into use on Oct. 16, World Food Day. The “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and now has more than 5 million users. It helps many people develop a good habit in a more interesting way. At the same time, it helps save food and help more people in trouble. Liu hopes people from other countries can use the program too in the future. “We hope to inspire everyone to take action against food waste,” he said. 29. To get some credit points, users need to ________. A. cut up the food on the plate B. clean up the plates C. eat up the food on the plate D. pick up the plates 30. The second paragraph mainly talks about ________. A. why Liu started the program B. where Liu started the program C. how people use the program D. what people can get from the program 31. The purpose of the passage is to ________. A. introduce Liu Jichen B. solve some AI’s problems C. introduce a mini-program D. solve food safety problems C Islands are always changing shapes. Sometimes you can see the changes happening. A volcano can erupt (喷发) and shoot out red hot lava (岩浆). When the lava reaches the ocean, it cools and forms new land. The island grows. But most changes are hard to see. Storms and wind blow dirt and sand from one side of the island and pile them up on another side. Oceans wash away earth and rocks from one beach and carry them to another. The island changes shapes slowly, a little bit at a time. People on some small ocean islands are worried. They think their islands are changing shapes too fast. On some islands, the whole beaches have been washed away. Places that used to be dry have been wetter and wetter. Why are so many islands becoming smaller and smaller? Scientists say people cause pollution. They burn gas and coal for cars and factories they cut down rainforests, and more. The pollution stores heat and makes Earth hotter. Warmer temperatures melt the ice at the North and South Poles. The melting ice flows into the ocean and raises sea levels. As a result, islands disappear. But there is hope. Scientists are looking for ways to stop sea levels rising and they are also looking for clean ways to run cars and factories. People are helping too, by recycling, planting trees, driving less, and wasting less. Together, we can stop the world’s islands from disappearing (消失). 32. What is true about the islands from the first two paragraphs? A. The ocean cools and the new islands form. B. You can always see the changes happening. C. Storms and wind wash away earth and rocks. D. They sometimes need a long time to change shapes. 33. Which is the right order for islands becoming smaller and smaller? ①Pollution causes Earth to warm ②Sea levels rise, land disappears ③Ice at the poles melts. ④People pollute A. ④①②③ B. ④②①③ C. ④③①② D. ④①③② 34. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) about the future? A. He feels angry. B. He feels excited. C. He feels hopeful. D. He feels worried. 35. What can be the title of the passage? A. Disappearing Islands. B. Moving Islands. C. Polluted Islands. D. Smaller Islands. D Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job? It is a fine day. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided (避免). I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident (自信的) in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success. Attitudes (态度) decide everything.” With an optimistic attitude, life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us. 36. What is the advice when you feel life is tiring? A. To cheer up and smile. B. To stay in bed and rest. C. To complain about life. D. To think about sad things. 37. What should you do when it suddenly rains before you go out? A. Feel sad and stay at the door. B. Keep going out without an umbrella. C. Complain about the rain to your friends. D. Sit down and listen to the rain as a free concert. 38. What is the really terrible thing when facing failure? A. Showing anger at others. B. Learning nothing from failure. C. Telling others about your failure. D. Being afraid of failure and giving up hope. 39. The underlined word “optimistic” in Paragraph 3 means ________ in Chinese. A. 悲观的. B. 乐观的. C. 被动的. D. 主动的. 40. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Complaining About Life. B. Smile and the World Smiles to You. C. Failure Is the Mother of Success. D. It Is Very Hard to Succeed. 第二节 阅读表达（共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 When I’m in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. I put my heart into it so that I can forget all the unhappy things. I’ve developed a habit of reading in this way. When I was a little boy, I was interested in comic books and storybooks. When I was a middle school student, I began to read novels, plays, essays (散文) and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little, I took a great interest in literature (文学) and last term I won first prize in the composition contest among high school students in our city. Reading The Emperor’s New Clothes makes me laugh a lot over the emperor’s silly behavior. The Little Match Girl makes me feel sad. Robinson Crusoe takes me into a strange world full of danger. And I am also deeply moved by Helen Keller’s spirit of being strong and never giving up. Besides these, books also tell me other things—how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can let me know what I didn’t know before. So I think good books are just like my best friends. 41. What’s the writer’s hobby? _____________________________________ 42. What was the writer interested in when he was a little boy? _____________________________________ 43.
