But the winter came with strong wind and heavy snow. People on the street seemed to be in rush, and few stayed for their show. One cold night, very few people came as they expected, but they were happy that some people did enjoy the show. When everybody left, a boy came and gave them a note with a business card, saying, a man left this for you. The band was surprised to see the note because nobody had ever left any note for their performance before they immediately read IT. You have performed beautifully tonight. Thanks a lot. Would you please come to my office tomorrow morning? The note was from a manager of a famous music company. Their life was changed from that night on.

Experiment with color mixing, temperature changes, and other ways to mix art and chemistry.(探索艺术和化学是如何携手并进的。尝试色彩混合、温度变化和其他方式来混合艺术和化学)”可知，第二周的重点是化学艺术。故选C。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据Week 3部分“Campers will learn Spanish vocabulary words through songs, games, and art activities.(露营者将通过歌曲、游戏和艺术活动学习西班牙语词汇)”可知，在第三周，露营者可以学习西班牙语。故选C。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Snacks and lunches will be eaten in the indoor classroom.(零食和午餐将在室内教室吃)”可知，露营者们在室内教室吃午饭。故选D。 B I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree. It’s a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that live next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helm et while working in the garden. The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to grow. What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress. Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it. Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves. Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder. 19. Why does the author wear a bike helm et while working in the garden? A. To protect the injured skull. B. To avoid being hit by the nuts. C. To prevent herself from sunburn. D. To protect herself from falling over. 20. What is the tree’s survival strategy? A. It accepts new plant varieties. B. It attracts beneficial pollinators. C. It lets out a poison to drive away pests. D. It produces a chemical deadly to some plants. 21. What is the writer’s attitude towards the walnut tree? A. Pleased. B. Conflicted. C. Curious. D. Disapproving. 22. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ______. A. It's better to accept than to resist. B. It's better to act than to think C. It's better to compete than to give up. D. It's better to protect than to destroy. 【答案】19. B 20. D 21. B 22. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述作者后院的黑胡桃树给他带来困扰，但同时也让作者感到自然的生机。于是，作者学会包容接纳，享受与黑核桃树相伴的生活。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls(头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that live next door to them.(在9月底或10月初，像棒球一样坚硬的水果会威胁到你、你的孩子、你的邻居和他们隔壁的人的头骨。)”可知，作者在果园里劳动时，会佩戴一个自行车头盔，是为了保护头部不会被树上掉落的坚硬果实砸伤。故选B项。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. (作为一种竞争策略，黑胡桃还通过其根部释放出一种化学物质。它对几种常见的植物有毒。)”可知，黑胡桃树的生存策略就是释放一种对其他一些常见植物物种有毒的物质，以独占生存资源。故选D项。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible.(我有没有想过摆脱我小小后院的巨大痛苦？是的，然而，要除掉这棵50英尺高、树干87英寸的树几乎是不可能的。)”和第六段“Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.(有时我会想起没有黑胡桃的生活。我无法想象春天里没有每年黎明前都会到来并大声唱歌的鸟儿。我会怀念在周末慵懒的下午抬头看着它的叶子入睡。)”可知，作者对黑胡桃树是又恨又爱的，换句话说，这种情感是矛盾冲突的。故选B项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. (我有没有想过摆脱我小小后院的巨大痛苦？是的，然而，要除掉这棵50英尺高、树干87英寸的树几乎是不可能的。)”和最后一段“I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires.(我就与这棵树相伴，所以我会倾听它的需求，给它所需的空间。)”可知，作者从这棵树身上得到了这样启示：包容接纳，而非抗拒，会让生活更美好。故选A项。 C After hours of working, many people experience significant drops in energy and find themselves in desperate need of a recharge. But instead of grabbing a coffee, it may be more worthwhile to take a short sleep break known as a power nap. A power nap can “provide the refreshment you need if you’re struggling to stay alert or haven’t had a good night’s sleep,” explains Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist. A power nap “gives people the chance to rest for a short period of time to boost workplace productivity (生产率),”she says, but they are only beneficial when they are done correctly. How long should a power nap be? Sleep experts say that an effective power nap should only last 20-30 minutes to increase alertness throughout the day. According to James Maas, a former professor and chair of psychology at Cornell University who invented the term “power nap” more than 50 years ago, “It’s an opportunity to shut your eyes, breathe slowly and recharge.” For most people, 15 minutes should be enough to power through the rest of the work day. However, Maas warns that lengthier naps are counterproductive and even harmful. “Never nap for 60 minutes. If you power nap any time longer than 40 minutes, you’re going to wake up feeling very weak and tired for another hour or so.” Shelby Harris a clinical psychologist, adds that the best time to take your power nap is between 1 p. m. and 3 p. m. , because napping any later in the day “can interfere with your sleep at night.” In contrast to coffee, which is likely to “damage your sleep at night and only offer short term energy for about 30 minutes,” Robbins says a power nap is a healthier alternative to improve workplace performance, strengthen memory and boost creativity. Harris adds naps have long-term health benefits too, such as improving your mood and aiding in stress management. “Power naps can reduce accidents and mistakes while also improving attention, alertness, concentration and performance. They can even be used effectively to fight sleepy driving when a short nap is taken just before getting behind the wheel,” she says. 23. What did James Maas suggest about a power nap? A. The best time to nap is from 1 p. m. to 3 p. m. B. The longer you nap, the more refreshed you’ll be. C. It’s better to be kept within 15 minutes. D. Napping too long does more harm than good. 24. Good power naps have the following benefits except __________. A. contributing to our refreshment. B. improving our memory and mood. C. disturbing your sleep at night. D. helping effectively manage stress. 25. How does the author develop the passage? A. By giving definitions. B. By making comparisons. C. By showing examples. D. By quoting from others. 26. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Tips on Taking Power Naps B. Ways to Get You Refreshed C. The Benefits of a Power Nap D. Steps to Improve Your Sleep 【答案】23. D 24. C 25. D 26. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是关于小睡的一些建议，以获取小睡带来的好处。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, Maas warns that lengthier naps are counterproductive and even harmful. “Never nap for 60 minutes. If you power nap any time longer than 40 minutes, you’re going to wake up feeling very weak and tired for another hour or so.”(然而，Maas警告说，长时间的小睡会适得其反，甚至有害。“永远不要小睡60分钟。如果你小睡的时间超过40分钟，你醒来后会感到非常虚弱，在接下来的一个小时左右都会感到疲惫。”)”可知，Maas警告人们长时间的小睡会适得其反，甚至有害，小睡时间过长会感到非常虚弱和疲惫，由此可知，James Maas建议小睡时间不要太长。故选D项。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Shelby Harris, a clinical psychologist, adds that the best time to take your power nap is between 1 p. m. and 3 p. m. , because napping any later in the day “can interfere with your sleep at night. ”(临床心理学家谢尔比·哈里斯(Shelby Harris)补充说，小睡的最佳时间是下午1点到3点之间，因为再晚一点小睡“都会影响你晚上的睡眠”)”可知，小睡的时间在下午3点以后得话会影响到晚上的睡眠，所以C选项“影响晚上睡眠”不是小睡的好处。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“But instead of grabbing a coffee, it may be more worthwhile to take a short sleep break known as a power nap.(但与其喝杯咖啡，不如小睡一会儿，这可能更有价值)”可知，在精神状态不佳时小睡一会儿比喝杯咖啡有价值，引出本文的主题，结合第二段中的“A power nap can “provide the refreshment you need if you’re struggling to stay alert or haven’t had a good night’s sleep,” explains Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist.(睡眠科学家丽贝卡·罗宾斯(Rebecca Robbins)解释说，小睡可以“在你难以保持清醒或一夜没睡好时，为你提供所需的精神恢复”)”、第三段中的“According to James Maas, a former professor and chair of psychology at Cornell University who invented the term “power nap” more than 50 years ago, “It’s an opportunity to shut your eyes, breathe slowly and recharge.”(50多年前，康奈尔大学前教授兼心理学主席James Maas发明了“小睡”一词，他说：“这是一个闭上眼睛、慢慢呼吸、充电的机会。”)”以及倒数第三段中的“Shelby Harris, a clinical psychologist, adds that the best time to take your power nap is between 1 p. m. and 3 p. m. , because napping any later in the day “can interfere with your sleep at night.”(临床心理学家谢尔比·哈里斯(Shelby Harris)补充说，小睡的最佳时间是下午1点到3点之间，因为再晚一点小睡“都会影响你晚上的睡眠”)”可知，在介绍小睡的相关情况时，作者引用了很多专家和研究者所说的话，由此可知，本文是通过引用别人的话展开文章的。故选D项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“A power nap “gives people the chance to rest for a short period of time to boost workplace productivity (生产率),”she says, but they are only beneficial when they are done correctly.(她说，小睡“让人们有机会在短时间内休息，提高工作生产率”，但只有在正确的情况下，小睡才有益)”可知，小睡可以提高工作效率，但是要在正确的情况下才会有这样的效果，结合下文中介绍的小睡的时常、最佳小睡的时间以及正确的小睡带来的好处可知，本文主要讲述的是如何在“小睡”中受益，“关于小睡的建议”与本文内容吻合，且概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 French Universities to Offer More Classes in English France aims to bring more foreign students to its universities by offering more classes taught in English. France is home to famous universities like the Sorbonne in Paris and several leading business schools. ___27___ But it ranks(排名)behind the US, Britain and Australia in the total number of foreign students who study there. ___28___ The country has seen increased competition from Germany, Russia, Canada and China. Under the new plan, France will ease student visa requirements. ___29___ Starting next March, foreigners who have earned a French master's degree will be able to receive a residence visa(居留签证).The change is meant to help recent graduates look for work or set up a business in France. ___30___ Currently, students in France ─ including foreign students─pay(about)170 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 243 euros a year for a master's degree. Officials said the low cost of education in France leads students from other countries to believe that the quality of a French education is lower than what other countries offer. Beginning in September2019, non-European students will pay 2,770 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 3,770 euros for graduate degrees.___31___ France will use the extra money to build better education facilities and increase the number of scholarships for foreign students.

France also plans to increase the costs for students who come from outside the European Economic Area. G. Between 2011 and 2016 the number of foreign students studying at French universities fell by 8.5 percent. 【答案】27. C 28. G 29. A 30. F 31. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了法国大学将要提供更多英语授课课程来招收留学生。 【27题详解】 上一句提到：法国是著名大学的所在地，该空承接上文，应该继续说法国好的一面，进一步说明法国受留学生的欢迎， 且与空后一句形成转折关系。结合选项，C选项（在非英语国家的学生中，这个国家是一个受欢迎的选择）符合语境，故选C。 【28题详解】 第三段承接第二段，应该介绍到法国留学的学生的现状。同时空后一句提到：来自德国、俄罗斯、加拿大和中国的竞争日益激烈。结合选项，G选项（2011年至2016年，在法国大学就读的外国学生数量下降了8.5%）符合语境。故选G。 【29题详解】 空前一句提到：根据新计划，法国将放宽学生签证要求。该空承接上文，应进一步论述如何提供方便。结合选项，A选项（学生签证申请也可以在网上申请）符合语境，故选A。 【30题详解】 根据本段中的“Beginning in September 2019, non-European students will pay 2, 770 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 3, 770 euros for graduate degrees”可知，法国要提高欧洲经济区以外的留学生的费用。故选F。 【31题详解】 空前提到：法国打算将欧洲经济区以外的留学生的学费提高至学士一年2770欧元，硕士一年3770欧元。该空承接上文，结合选项，D项（然而，这仍然比其他一些欧洲国家要便宜得多。）中的That指的就是这一情况。故选D。 【点睛】在七选五中，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或指示代词。代词是指代一个名词或一个句子的。考生要通过语境来推断代词在句子中所指代的内容。第5小题中，D选项中的that就指上一句提到的法国打算提高收费的情况。考生可以据此判断正确答案。 三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My long-distance cycling career of 13 years and 35, 000 kilometres ended as I approached 75.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】fortune 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：近年来，我的许多朋友都来到大城市寻找他们的财富。形容词性物主代词their后需接名词，fortunate的名词为fortune“财富”，不可数名词，在句中作宾语。故填fortune。 60. —The children began to understand what I say in class ________ (gradual). (所给词的适当形式填空) —So, you see, children learn new things little by little. Therefore, don’t be hurried. 【答案】gradually 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：——孩子们逐渐开始理解我在课堂上说的话。——所以，你看，孩子们是一点一点地学习新事物的。因此，不要着急。此处用副词修饰动词began，作状语。gradual的副词是gradually“逐渐地”。故填gradually。 61.

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that live next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helm et while working in the garden. The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them but they failed to grow. What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress. Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it. Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves. Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder. 19. Why does the author wear a bike helm et while working in the garden? A. To protect the injured skull. B. To avoid being hit by the nuts. C. To prevent herself from sunburn. D. To protect herself from falling over. 20. What is the tree’s survival strategy? A. It accepts new plant varieties. B. It attracts beneficial pollinators. C. It lets out a poison to drive away pests. D. It produces a chemical deadly to some plants. 21. What is the writer’s attitude towards the walnut tree? A. Pleased. B. Conflicted. C. Curious. D. Disapproving. 22. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ______. A. It's better to accept than to resist. B. It's better to act than to think C. It's better to compete than to give up. D. It's better to protect than to destroy. C After hours of working, many people experience significant drops in energy and find themselves in desperate need of a recharge. But instead of grabbing a coffee, it may be more worthwhile to take a short sleep break known as a power nap. A power nap can “provide the refreshment you need if you’re struggling to stay alert or haven’t had a good night’s sleep,” explains Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist. A power nap “gives people the chance to rest for a short period of time to boost workplace productivity (生产率),”she says, but they are only beneficial when they are done correctly. How long should a power nap be? Sleep experts say that an effective power nap should only last 20-30 minutes to increase alertness throughout the day. According to James Maas, a former professor and chair of psychology at Cornell University who invented the term “power nap” more than 50 years ago, “It’s an opportunity to shut your eyes, breathe slowly and recharge.” For most people, 15 minutes should be enough to power through the rest of the work day. However, Maas warns that lengthier naps are counterproductive and even harmful. “Never nap for 60 minutes. If you power nap any time longer than 40 minutes, you’re going to wake up feeling very weak and tired for another hour or so.” Shelby Harris, a clinical psychologist, adds that the best time to take your power nap is between 1 p. m. and 3 p. m. , because napping any later in the day “can interfere with your sleep at night.” In contrast to coffee, which is likely to “damage your sleep at night and only offer short term energy for about 30 minutes,” Robbins says a power nap is a healthier alternative to improve workplace performance, strengthen memory and boost creativity. Harris adds naps have long-term health benefits too, such as improving your mood and aiding in stress management. “Power naps can reduce accidents and mistakes while also improving attention, alertness, concentration and performance. They can even be used effectively to fight sleepy driving when a short nap is taken just before getting behind the wheel,” she says. 23. What did James Maas suggest about a power nap? A. The best time to nap is from 1 p. m. to 3 p. m. B. The longer you nap, the more refreshed you’ll be. C. It’s better to be kept within 15 minutes. D. Napping too long does more harm than good. 24. Good power naps have the following benefits except __________. A. contributing to our refreshment. B. improving our memory and mood. C. disturbing your sleep at night. D. helping effectively manage stress. 25. How does the author develop the passage? A. By giving definitions. B. By making comparisons. C. By showing examples. D. By quoting from others. 26. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Tips on Taking Power Naps B. Ways to Get You Refreshed C. The Benefits of a Power Nap D.
