A painting of Paris by Vincent Van Gogh, barely seen by the public after being stashed in a French family’s private collection for more than a century, sold at auction Thursday for 13.1 million euros ($15.4 million).
“Street scene in Montmartre” was painted in the spring of 1887, three years before the Dutch master is believed ____1____ (die) by suicide. It fetched significantly more than the top estimate of 8 million euros ($9.4million) during a sale at Sotheby’s in Paris.
But the auction, which also saw works by the likes of Edgar Degas and René Magritte go under the hammer, generated an amount of confusion, with Sotheby’s initially declaring ____2____ the Van Gogh had sold for over 16 million euros ($19.1 million). Following what a Sotheby’s spokesperson called a “bidding error,” the painting was then offered to buyers again at the end of the sale, with a second round of bidding ____3____ (result) in the lower final price.
Van Gogh’s painting shows Parisians walking through a rural and sparse landscape in Montmartre,____4____ historic district that today is one of the city’s most popular destinations.
“____5____ we set eyes on this painting, we were immediately captivated,” said Claudia Mercier and Fabien Mirabaud of Parisian auction house Mirabaud Mercier, who discovered the work.
“It is with great pleasure that we can now present this to the world, after being treasured by the same French family for a century,” they said in a statement prior to the sale.
The painting is part of a series of works representing the famed Moulin de la Galette, a windmill turned into a dance hall in Montmartre. The district is still popular among tourists and locals for its village feel, but the surrounding streets have been built up and now bear little resemblance ____6____ the scene in the painting.
Sotheby’s said the painting provides a portal into Montmartre at the end of the 19th century, ____7____ the obsolete mills became tourist attractions and leisure places where Parisians would meet to drink, dance and relax.
Van Gogh was serially undervalued throughout his career. He died in 1890, supposedly after shooting himself. The rusty handgun he is understood to have used in the shooting was later discovered and sold in 2019.
Though he struggled to find an audience for his work during his lifetime, Van Gogh’s market value ____8____ (skyrocket) throughout the 20th century. His portrait of a homeopathic doctor “Portrait of Dr. Gachet,” which he painted during the last year of his life, sold at auction in1990 for $82.5 million (equivalent to $165 million today), making it ____9____ (expensive) painting ever sold at the time.
The final sale price in this article has been updated, following ____10____ Sotheby’s described as a “bidding error”.

Daniel K Elwell, the ____14____ administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday “it continues to review extensively all available data and inspect safety ____15____ from operators and pilots of the Boeing 737 Max.” Thus far, our review shows no systematic performance issues and provides no basis to order grounding the aircraft. Nor have other civil aviation authorities provided data to us that would ____16____ action.
Boeing, meanwhile, restate its support for the 737 Max, saying it had “full ____17____ ” in its safety.
However, the global reaction to Sunday's fatal crash involving an Ethiopian Airlines 737Max is adding pressure on the company and the Federal Aviation Administration to act.
● Pilots of at least two US flights have ____18____ that their new Boeing jet pointed its nose down automatically.
● Trump said on Tuesday that modern planes were “becoming far too complex to fly”.
The EU's aviation safety agency, EASA, suspended all flights by Boeing's 737-8 and 737-9models after the UK, Ireland, Germany, France and other countries made similar moves.
Explaining the UK's decision to ban the planes, a spokesman for the British Civil Aviation Authority said: “As we do not currently have sufficient information from the flight data recorder, we have, as a precautionary ____19____, issued instructions to stop any commercial passenger flights from any operator arriving, departing or overflying UK airspace, ”

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A (1’*15=15’)
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Requiem for the Telephone Call
The world’s first telephone call — “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you”— was a request for a face-to-face meeting.
I live in Boston, where Alexander Graham Bell made that ____21____ call in 1876, and on a recent trip I passed through Brantford, Ontario, where Bell first dreamed up his telephone in 1874. In Brantford, which ____22____ itself as the “Telephone City,” there’s a giant ____23____ to Bell that includes a bronze casting with figures meant to represent Knowledge, Joy and Sorrow — the varieties of information spread by the telephone.
Today maybe we should reserve a bit of sorrow for the ____24____ connections fostered by Bell’s miraculous invention.
We own more “phones” than ever, but we don’t use them ____25____ for voice calls. In 2010, Americans spent 2.24 trillion minutes talking on their mobile devices — which averages out to 7,813 minutes per mobile line. By 2017 that had dropped to just 5,539 minutes per line, or 6,686 minutes per U. S. resident.
That’s still 18 minutes per person per day, but it’s a small ____26____ of the five hours a day we spend doing other things on our mobile devices: watching YouTube, ____27____ Facebook and Twitter, sending text messages, and all the rest.
In July, the U. S. House of Representatives voted 429-3 to approve a bill that would allow carriers to block suspected callers and require them to implement authentication technology to ____28____ out calls from spoofed numbers. The Senate had already passed a protective bill, and the White House is expected to approve a joint version this fall. Representative Frank Pallone, Jr., of New Jersey, chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, predicted the measure will “____29____ Americans’ confidence in the telephone system.”
But the truth is, it’s too _____30_____ for that. An entire generation of Americans has grown up using phones as glorified pagers. Many people in this group would rather not receive calls at all; speaking on the phone “demands their full _____31_____ when they don’t want to give it,” as Sherry Turkle observed in Alone Together, her incisive 2011 book about the social _____32_____ of the mobile revolution.
But what’s lost when texts and posts replace conversation is, briefly put, Joy and Sorrow: the _____33_____ content conveyed by the human voice. Stripped of this real-time _____34_____, we’re left only with Knowledge, which, as the past few years have shown, is so easily warped and misrepresented. Our telephones may have evolved into machines for 24/7 tweeting and texting, but we’re more _____35_____ than ever.

Section B(2’*11=22’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Sandra Boynton, a children’s author, has in more recent years branched out into kids music. Her most recent album Hog Wild!, for example, features Samuel L. Jackson as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. She talked in an interview about how to tap into kids' imaginations and how to make scary things less threatening for them.
In your years of writing and illustrating children’s books, have you noticed anything that really sparks a child’s imagination?
I think maybe there’s no basic difference between what fascinates a child and what fascinates the rest of us. We’re all drawn to things that wake us up, things that grab our attention through our hearing or our sight or our sense of touch. We’re curious about the world as it is, and we’re curious about what could be. Imagination follows curiosity pretty naturally.
It doesn’t feel to me like it’s been a long time that I’ve been drawing and writing things. It doesn’t feel like a short time, either. It just feels like what I do. I make things. I’m a permanent Kindergartner, I guess.
You often take a threatening figure like a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a monster and make him cute. Do you have any suggestions for how to make children less afraid of things?
Actually, I think kids kind of like being afraid of things, as long as someone calm is right there with reassurance. Hugging helps.
What have you learned about childhood from writing kids’ books?
Accessing childhood has actually never been that hard. It’s adulthood that’s still perplexing. I would guess that most children’s book writers are that way. I’m really writing books and making music for my own child-self. But I’m certainly delighted and grateful that my books work for people other than just me. It keeps me from having to find an actual job.
A lot of authors are worried that children spend too much time on digital devices rather than with books, but you seem to have embraced it. Why?
When the interactive book app universe was new, I was, as a creator of things, curious. My background is theater, and I thought it could be interesting to try to figure out how to create content that’s both theater-like and book-like. I found a superb partner in this, the insanely ingenious Loud Crow Interactive in Vancouver. We worked intensively together for a couple of years and made five very cool apps. I’m proud of them. But now, having too often seen very young kids sitting idly, staring at screens, I have my doubts.
36. What does Sandra Boynton think about imagination?
A. It fascinates both adults and children.
B. It can be waken up by attention to senses.
C. It can be naturally aroused out of curiosity.
D. It lasts for long in a permanent kindergartner.
37. When writing children’s books, Sandra ______.
A. finds herself confused about remembering childhood
B. agrees with other book writers that writing is hard
C. puts herself in a child’s place and thinks like a child
D. is delighted that she doesn’t need to find another job
38. Sandra thinks the apps she made with her partner were cool because they were ______.
A. new ways to increase interactions between users
B. interactive by combining theatre and book
C. beneficial with the content both theatre-like and book-like
D. created by an insanely ingenious expert and friend
39. We can conclude from the interview that ______.
A. Sandra is good at making a threatening figure cute
B. kids are always calm instead of being afraid of things
C. digital devices have been embraced by most of the authors
D. there were no interactive book apps before Sandra’s apps
(B)
In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.
Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’t add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.
Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.
Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.
Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.
Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.
Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas.
Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath.
Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!
40. To keep skin moist, we can resort to some natural products except __________.
A. milk B. olive oil C. honey D. tangerine
41. For a berry-allergic old lady with sensitive skin condition, you’d better recommend __________ to be involved in her diet and daily skincare to help her preserve youth.
A. milk B. papaya C. grapes D. strawberries
42. The passage can probably be targeted at ____________________.
A. owners of fruit shops who wants to promote sales
B. customers in supermarket who are searching for fruits
C. women who want to become beautiful and healthy
D. chefs who are particular about food ingredients
(C)
Like many historical films, Amadeus is far from a faithful account of what is known about the period and the people that it portrays. Events are exaggerated and simplified, and the complexity of real characters is reduced to suit the needs of a dramatic contrast between good and evil. Such historical liberties are often complained by experts, but few have seemed to mind the wayward story points of Amadeus. This is no doubt partly attributable to the film’s high entertainment value: it is an unusually lively and funny historical film. Furthermore, the film’s appeal is also attributable to Mozart’s music.
For all its liberties, the story is actually based on a real rumor that circulated in Vienna in the 1820s. While gravely ill, the rival composer Antonio Salieri (1750-1825) confessed he had murdered Mozart decades earlier by poisoning him. Salieri was suffering from dementia (痴呆) at the time of this confession, and he later withdrew it, but some chose to believe the claim. More than 150 years later, the English playwright Peter Shaffer based the story of Amadeus not just on Salieri’s confession but also the idea that Salieri had suffered from a deep and bitter jealousy of Mozart. In the fun-loving Mozart, the story goes, Salieri saw a true genius — one who made his own talent and accomplishments appear overshadowed — and this drove him on a vendetta (宿怨) that ultimately resulted in murder.
Shaffer’s story makes for great drama biased against Salieri. If Salieri had little reason to fear or resent Mozarfs success, there was naturally a degree of rivalry between two men working in the same profession and in the same city. Salieri and Mozart belonged to separate musical groups, and Italian and German opera fell into and out of favor during this period. The composers were therefore striving for work, including post of musical tutor to the Princess of Wiirttemberg, which Salieri successfully attained, they saw their operas’ debut side by side, yet there is little evidence of any hostility Mozart did complain in a letter to his father that Joseph H favored Salieri over all other that observation was an accurate one. Both Mozart and his father suspected that, behind the scenes, Salieri tried to undermine Mozart’s success, but these were hardly unusual suspicions in a field so reliant on sponsorship. In public, fellow composers reported that Mozart, and Salieri were friendly with another. Shortly after the premiere of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Salieri attended a performance with Mozart, and applauded warmly and vigorously. Thus, any ill feeling between Mozart and Salieri was borne by the former rather than the latter — contrary to what is strongly depicted in Amadeus — and it stemmed from Salieri’s status and success rather than his perceived averageness.
43. According to the author, Amadeus’s appeal comes from the following EXCEPT ________.
A. depiction of Mozart’s character
B. actors’ excellent performance
C. a storyline true to history
D. Mozart’s music in the film
44. There was some rivalry between Mozart and Salieri mainly because they ________.
A. lived and worked in the same city
B. competed for musical work and post
C. joined different musical groups
D. suspected each other on some occasions
45. What does the author think of the cause of ill feeling between the two men?
A. Mozart’s experience of breaking up with his father.
B. Salieri’s attempt to undermine Mozart’s success.
C. Mozart’s success and status as a musical talent.
D. Salieri’s success and status in the musical circle.
46. Throughout the passage, the author mainly attempts to ________.
A. correct some distorted details in the film
B. analyze how the film appeals to audience
C. highlight the entertainment value of the film
D. give an account of Mozart as a genius musician

Why California is burning
For decades, environmentalists have warned that the world is going to burn. Mostly, they meant it figuratively. But footage (影像片段) of fires sweeping through the Amazon forest, parts of Australia and now, once again, California, makes it easy to believe the planet is, literally, on fire. So far this year, California has seen more than 2.5m acres burned and more than 3,700 structures destroyed. With over three months remaining of this year's fire season, few doubt the state is facing its worst yet.
The fires themselves cannot be stopped; they are fueled by climate change layered on top of an ecosystem that burns regularly as part of its natural cycle. Hotter temperatures and drier landscapes mean more fires. ____47____. It has made itself more vulnerable with out-of-date regulations and self-defeating policies.
California does deserve credit for being the only American state to have adopted fire-safe building codes for what is known as the “wildland-urban interface”, where houses are sparsely dotted through tall, flammable (易燃的) trees and vegetation, often on steep slopes that flames can race up. Evidence suggests the codes do help limit damage. However, they apply only to new structures. ____48____. Nor are there subsidies or other motivations to nudge people and firms to take on the heavy, complicated and expensive task of making buildings safe.
Furthermore, the codes date back to 2008 and have not yet been updated to include the latest science on why buildings burn. ____49____. Today, landscapers can still draw up designs where bark mulch — an almost perfect fuel — is laid down around a home, office, or even hospital.
Fire-risk maps and zoning, which determine who must follow building codes, are in desperate need of a rethink. Among other things, they consider urbanized areas “unburnable”, which ignores science showing that the majority of buildings catch fire when flying embers (余烬) are blown a mile or more away from the flaming vegetation. ____50____. When Coffey Park in Santa Rosa was destroyed by wildfire in 2017, the city vowed to rebuild better, but it hesitated because of unfounded fears that being fire-safe would be a lot more costly. Strict fire codes were not enforced, and the community once more had to evacuate during a fire in 2019 rather than shelter-in-place.
No wonder California is caught in a burn-rebuild-burn-again cycle. The fires are not going away. But if state leaders rethought their misguided policies, they would at least wreak less havoc.
A. However, much of California’s mess nowadays is of its-own-making.
B. They also do nothing about the need to improve most of the existing houses and other properties.
C. California has failed to encourage homeowners to move out of the most dangerous areas.
D. As a result, communities that are at risk from wildfires are not held to fire-safety rules — sometimes with very serious consequences.
E. On September 7th, a utility serving northern California shut off the power supply to tens of thousands of homes.
F. That includes strong evidence that the first five feet around a structure are key to its defense but all too often consist of flammable materials.
Ⅳ. Summary Writing(10’)
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Canals in Britain
The restoration of Britain’s vast canal network has been a notable success. Wild ducks and birds can be seen along the 100 miles or so of Birmingham’s canals. Manchester boat users and walkers can learn about the origin of the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) along waterways that run through the city. Then comes a heavy blow: having previously frozen funding for the Canal & River Trust, the government now plans cuts of £ 300 million to its finances, beginning in 2017.
This shortsighted decision will stretch resources beyond breaking point. Volunteers already have to be relied on for clean-up work and other tasks, which may leave the maintenance all the more difficult. Some canals may even have to close. One report mentions that the large stretches of London’s network will be affected, including Little Venice.
Originally saved in the 1960s by the then transport secretary Barbara Castle, these waterways were noted for their potentially broader uses besides transportation. Five decades on, Castle’s vision of “leisure ways” has become a reality. Joggers are seen pounding the sunny tracks, fishers sitting on grassy banks, tourists sightseeing on narrowboats, and kids merrily cycling around. Their public good doesn’t stop here. Along the five-mile stretch of the Chesterfield canal, a former lock-house (船闸管理人值班房) now hosts a cafe, a meeting room, shower facilities and a play and picnic area. Essential services are available, from small restaurants to corner stores, making canals attractive to business as well as boat enthusiasts.
This is the kind of reimagining of waterways that Barbara Castle foresaw. The government has a responsibility to ensure that they are maintained rather than ruined by funding cuts deeply in conflict with the spirit and direction of the times.

Are Screens Bad for Our Bodies?
Are Screens Bad for Our Bodies?
“You’ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ____56____ her, of course. It was just something parents said. Fast-forward a few decades and now I’m the parent. My 5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren’t ____57____ pieces of furniture, but lie around on the kitchen table, on the sofa, by the bed, constantly accessible. You can’t even avoid them by going outside. “Screens are not only in our pockets, they’re on billboards, buses and bins,” says Tim Smith, a psychologist at Birkbeck, University of London. The concerns have ____58____ with the screens. In the past decade, we have heard that they will rewire our brains, ____59____ us of cognitive abilities and damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling grumpier, guiltier and more tired as a result. The list of ills makes square eyes sound ____60____.
So should we take these concerns more seriously? Given the amount of time so many of us spend with our lit-up devices, it is a(n) ____61____ question.
The trouble is, many of the most emphatic answers are the least ____62____. As the fears grow and the debate becomes ever more heated, it’s time to separate the proven health advice from the hyperbole.
Smartphone pinky, tech neck, bone spurs at the back of our skulls: the ailments we are meant to have inflicted on ourselves through excessive phone use all sound terrifying. Hence the headlines ____63____, there is no good evidence that such alarming conditions are caused by our tech habit.
Any harm is likely to be far less ____64____. The World Health Organization, for example, recommends limiting screentime as a way of tackling obesity, voicing _____65_____ health concerns related to screens in particular.

In the past few years, more children in the UK have been _____66_____ glasses, says Max Davie at the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health in London. This has led some to claim that phones and tablets are to blame. But Davie thinks the _____67_____ has more to do with aggressive management of existing conditions. “At the moment, we don’t have sufficient evidence for a causal link,” he says.
One thing that does appear to be _____68_____ is sleep. Studies have shown that people who are given a book to read in bed find it harder to go to sleep if they read it on a screen rather than on paper. This is probably because of the blue light that most screens emit, which throws off our circadian rhythm and tricks us into thinking it is daytime.
Of course, most of us who look at our phones last thing at night aren’t reading a book. Much sleep disruption is related to mental _____69_____: waiting for the next notification, say, or scrolling through _____70_____ news feeds. Insufficient or disrupted sleep has been linked to increased risk for all manner of health problems, including depression and other mental health concerns.
“If there are any recommendations to be adopted, not using screens in the hour before bed seems to be the one with the greatest support,” says Smith.

A painting of Paris by Vincent Van Gogh, barely seen by the public after being stashed in a French family’s private collection for more than a century, sold at auction Thursday for 13.1 million euros ($15.4 million).
“Street scene in Montmartre” was painted in the spring of 1887, three years before the Dutch master is believed ____1____ (die) by suicide. It fetched significantly more than the top estimate of 8 million euros ($9.4million) during a sale at Sotheby’s in Paris.
But the auction, which also saw works by the likes of Edgar Degas and René Magritte go under the hammer, generated an amount of confusion, with Sotheby’s initially declaring ____2____ the Van Gogh had sold for over 16 million euros ($19.1 million). Following what a Sotheby’s spokesperson called a “bidding error,” the painting was then offered to buyers again at the end of the sale, with a second round of bidding ____3____ (result) in the lower final price.
Van Gogh’s painting shows Parisians walking through a rural and sparse landscape in Montmartre,____4____ historic district that today is one of the city’s most popular destinations.
“____5____ we set eyes on this painting, we were immediately captivated,” said Claudia Mercier and Fabien Mirabaud of Parisian auction house Mirabaud Mercier, who discovered the work.
“It is with great pleasure that we can now present this to the world, after being treasured by the same French family for a century,” they said in a statement prior to the sale.
The painting is part of a series of works representing the famed Moulin de la Galette, a windmill turned into a dance hall in Montmartre. The district is still popular among tourists and locals for its village feel, but the surrounding streets have been built up and now bear little resemblance ____6____ the scene in the painting.
Sotheby’s said the painting provides a portal into Montmartre at the end of the 19th century, ____7____ the obsolete mills became tourist attractions and leisure places where Parisians would meet to drink, dance and relax.
Van Gogh was serially undervalued throughout his career. He died in 1890, supposedly after shooting himself. The rusty handgun he is understood to have used in the shooting was later discovered and sold in 2019.
Though he struggled to find an audience for his work during his lifetime, Van Gogh’s market value ____8____ (skyrocket) throughout the 20th century. His portrait of a homeopathic doctor “Portrait of Dr. Gachet,” which he painted during the last year of his life, sold at auction in1990 for $82.5 million (equivalent to $165 million today), making it ____9____ (expensive) painting ever sold at the time.
The final sale price in this article has been updated, following ____10____ Sotheby’s described as a “bidding error”.
【答案】1. to have died
2. that 3. resulting
4. a 5. Instantly##Once
6. to 7. when
8. skyrocketed
9. the most expensive
10. what
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。一幅被法国家庭私藏一个多世纪、几乎未曾公开展出过的文森特·梵高巴黎画作,在拍卖会上以1310万欧元成交,但此次拍卖过程因竞拍错误而出现混乱。
【1题详解】
考查不定式的完成式。句意:《蒙马特街景》创作于1887年春天,也就是这位荷兰艺术大师据信自杀身亡的三年前。此处考查固定结构be believed to do sth,“被认为做某事”,且“自杀”这一动作发生在“is believed”之前,需用不定式的完成式“to have done”。故填to have died。
【2题详解】
考查宾语从句引导词。句意:苏富比在巴黎的拍卖会上,这幅画的成交价远高于800万欧元(约合940万美元)的最高估价。但这场拍卖会也引发了一些混乱 —— 苏富比最初宣布这幅梵高作品以超过1600万欧元(约合1910万美元)的价格售出。“declaring”后接宾语从句,从句“the Van Gogh had sold for over 16 million euros”成分和句意都完整,需用引导词that连接,that在从句中不充当语法成分,仅起连接作用。故填that。
【3题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:在苏富比发言人所称的“竞价失误”之后,这幅画在拍卖会结束时再次向买家出价,第二轮竞价最终以较低的价格成交。此处为“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”格结构,“a second round of bidding”与“result”之间为主动关系,需用现在分词作宾补。故填resulting。
【4题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:梵高的画作描绘了巴黎人在蒙马特的一片空旷乡村景观中行走的场景,蒙马特是一个历史街区,如今是这座城市最受欢迎的景点之一。historic district为可数名词单数,且historic以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a修饰,表示“一个历史街区”。故填a。
【5题详解】
考查连词。句意:发现这幅作品的巴黎米拉波·梅西耶拍卖行的克劳迪娅·梅西耶和法比安·米拉波说:“我们一看到这幅画,就立刻被它迷住了。”此处需填连词引导时间状语从句,结合语境“一……就……”可知,instantly符合句意,且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Instantly/Once。
【6题详解】
考查介词。句意:这个街区如今仍因乡村风情受到游客和当地人的喜爱,但周围的街道已经扩建,现在与画作中的场景几乎没有相似之处。此处考查固定短语bear resemblance to...“与……相似”,需填介词to。故填to。
【7题详解】
考查定语从句关系副词。句意:苏富比表示,这幅画为人们打开了一扇通往 19 世纪末蒙马特的大门 —— 当时,废弃的风车变成了旅游景点和休闲场所,巴黎人会在这里相聚、饮酒、跳舞和放松。此处为定语从句,先行词是“the end of the 19th century”,表示时间,且从句中缺少时间状语,需用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【8题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意:尽管梵高生前一直难以让自己的作品获得认可,但在整个20 世纪,他作品的市场价值飙升。分析句子可知,“throughout the 20th century”表示过去的时间段,谓语动词需用一般过去时;skyrocket的过去式为skyrocketed。故填skyrocketed。
【9题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:他在生命最后一年创作的顺势疗法医生肖像画《加歇医生像》,于1990年以8250万美元 (相当于如今的 1.65 亿美元) 的价格成交,成为当时售出的最昂贵的画作。“ever sold at the time”表示比较范围,结合语境“最昂贵的”可知,需用形容词expensive的最高级the most expensive。故填the most expensive。
【10题详解】
考查宾语从句连接代词what。句意:根据苏富比所称的“竞价失误”,本文中的最终成交价已更新。分析句子可知,“following”是介词,后接宾语从句,从句中“described”缺少宾语,需用连接代词what引导,what在从句中作described的宾语,意为“……的事情”。故填what。
Section B(1'*10=10')
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
选词填空
A. acting B. complained C. confidence D. weighed AB. presented AC. maintaining

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A (1’*15=15’)
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Requiem for the Telephone Call
The world’s first telephone call — “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you”— was a request for a face-to-face meeting.
I live in Boston, where Alexander Graham Bell made that ____21____ call in 1876, and on a recent trip I passed through Brantford, Ontario, where Bell first dreamed up his telephone in 1874. In Brantford, which ____22____ itself as the “Telephone City,” there’s a giant ____23____ to Bell that includes a bronze casting with figures meant to represent Knowledge, Joy and Sorrow — the varieties of information spread by the telephone.
Today maybe we should reserve a bit of sorrow for the ____24____ connections fostered by Bell’s miraculous invention.
We own more “phones” than ever, but we don’t use them ____25____ for voice calls. In 2010, Americans spent 2.24 trillion minutes talking on their mobile devices — which averages out to 7,813 minutes per mobile line. By 2017 that had dropped to just 5,539 minutes per line, or 6,686 minutes per U. S. resident.
That’s still 18 minutes per person per day, but it’s a small ____26____ of the five hours a day we spend doing other things on our mobile devices: watching YouTube, ____27____ Facebook and Twitter, sending text messages, and all the rest.
In July, the U. S. House of Representatives voted 429-3 to approve a bill that would allow carriers to block suspected callers and require them to implement authentication technology to ____28____ out calls from spoofed numbers. The Senate had already passed a protective bill, and the White House is expected to approve a joint version this fall. Representative Frank Pallone, Jr., of New Jersey, chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, predicted the measure will “____29____ Americans’ confidence in the telephone system.”
But the truth is, it’s too _____30_____ for that. An entire generation of Americans has grown up using phones as glorified pagers. Many people in this group would rather not receive calls at all; speaking on the phone “demands their full _____31_____ when they don’t want to give it,” as Sherry Turkle observed in Alone Together, her incisive 2011 book about the social _____32_____ of the mobile revolution.
But what’s lost when texts and posts replace conversation is, briefly put, Joy and Sorrow: the _____33_____ content conveyed by the human voice. Stripped of this real-time _____34_____, we’re left only with Knowledge, which, as the past few years have shown, is so easily warped and misrepresented. Our telephones may have evolved into machines for 24/7 tweeting and texting, but we’re more _____35_____ than ever.
21. A. important B. historic C. original D. funny
22. A. unbags B. prays C. bills D. bets
23. A. status B. memorial C. exposure D. profile

Section B(2’*11=22’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Sandra Boynton, a children’s author, has in more recent years branched out into kids music. Her most recent album Hog Wild!, for example, features Samuel L. Jackson as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. She talked in an interview about how to tap into kids' imaginations and how to make scary things less threatening for them.
In your years of writing and illustrating children’s books, have you noticed anything that really sparks a child’s imagination?
I think maybe there’s no basic difference between what fascinates a child and what fascinates the rest of us. We’re all drawn to things that wake us up, things that grab our attention through our hearing or our sight or our sense of touch. We’re curious about the world as it is, and we’re curious about what could be. Imagination follows curiosity pretty naturally.
It doesn’t feel to me like it’s been a long time that I’ve been drawing and writing things. It doesn’t feel like a short time, either. It just feels like what I do. I make things. I’m a permanent Kindergartner, I guess.
You often take a threatening figure like a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a monster and make him cute. Do you have any suggestions for how to make children less afraid of things?
Actually, I think kids kind of like being afraid of things, as long as someone calm is right there with reassurance. Hugging helps.
What have you learned about childhood from writing kids’ books?
Accessing childhood has actually never been that hard. It’s adulthood that’s still perplexing. I would guess that most children’s book writers are that way. I’m really writing books and making music for my own child-self. But I’m certainly delighted and grateful that my books work for people other than just me. It keeps me from having to find an actual job.
A lot of authors are worried that children spend too much time on digital devices rather than with books, but you seem to have embraced it. Why?
When the interactive book app universe was new, I was, as a creator of things, curious. My background is theater, and I thought it could be interesting to try to figure out how to create content that’s both theater-like and book-like. I found a superb partner in this, the insanely ingenious Loud Crow Interactive in Vancouver. We worked intensively together for a couple of years and made five very cool apps. I’m proud of them. But now, having too often seen very young kids sitting idly, staring at screens, I have my doubts.
36. What does Sandra Boynton think about imagination?
A. It fascinates both adults and children.
B. It can be waken up by attention to senses.
C. It can be naturally aroused out of curiosity.
D. It lasts for long in a permanent kindergartner.
37. When writing children’s books, Sandra ______.
A. finds herself confused about remembering childhood
B. agrees with other book writers that writing is hard
C. puts herself in a child’s place and thinks like a child
D. is delighted that she doesn’t need to find another job
38. Sandra thinks the apps she made with her partner were cool because they were ______.
A. new ways to increase interactions between users
B. interactive by combining theatre and book
C. beneficial with the content both theatre-like and book-like
D. created by an insanely ingenious expert and friend
39. We can conclude from the interview that ______.
A. Sandra is good at making a threatening figure cute
B. kids are always calm instead of being afraid of things
C. digital devices have been embraced by most of the authors
D. there were no interactive book apps before Sandra’s apps

In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.
Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’t add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.
Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.
Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.
Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.
Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.
Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas.
Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath.
Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!
40. To keep skin moist, we can resort to some natural products except __________.
A. milk B. olive oil C. honey D. tangerine
41. For a berry-allergic old lady with sensitive skin condition, you’d better recommend __________ to be involved in her diet and daily skincare to help her preserve youth.
A. milk B. papaya C. grapes D. strawberries
42. The passage can probably be targeted at ____________________.
A. owners of fruit shops who wants to promote sales
B. customers in supermarket who are searching for fruits
C. women who want to become beautiful and healthy
D. chefs who are particular about food ingredients
【答案】40. D 41. C 42. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何利用食物成分改善皮肤护理效果,包括牛奶保湿、橄榄油滋润、葡萄抗氧化、木瓜去角质、草莓舒缓红肿、蜂蜜保湿和橘子去屑,强调天然成分的优势和健康护肤的重要性。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格第一行的“Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. (牛奶富含蛋白质和脂质,如果经常饮用,可以帮助皮肤保持水分,保持皮肤湿润和柔软。)”和表格第二行的“While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.(虽然橄榄油是一种极好的保湿剂,但最好将含有橄榄油的产品用在胳膊和腿上,而不是脸上,以避免堵塞毛孔。)”和表格第六行的“Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated.(蜂蜜有助于锁住水分,缓解皮肤干燥,使皮肤柔软、水润。)”和表格第七行的“Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion.(橘子富含果酸,可以帮助皮肤去角质,促进皮肤更光滑、更有光泽。含有柑橘类成分的护肤品可以帮助去除死皮细胞,让皮肤下面呈现出一层新鲜的皮肤。)”可知, 文中提到了橘子的去角质特性,因为它含有果酸,可以使皮肤更光滑、更有光泽。然而,与牛奶、橄榄油和蜂蜜相比,橘子通常不专门用于保湿目的,而牛奶、橄榄油和蜂蜜则以其对皮肤的保湿和补水功效而闻名。因此,橘子不适合用于保持皮肤水分。故选D。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格第一行的“However, you can’s add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.(然而,你不能在自制的面膜中加入牛奶来补水,因为它可能会导致皮肤过敏,因为丰富的营养不能被皮肤吸收。) ”和表格第四行的“However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.(然而,皮肤敏感或对木瓜过敏的人应该谨慎行事。) ”和表格第五行的“However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.(然而,对浆果过敏的人应该避开草莓类产品。) ”可知,牛奶、木瓜和草莓对于一个对浆果过敏、皮肤敏感的老太太来说都不合适,再由表格第三行的“Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.(葡萄不仅是一种美味的零食,也是一种温和的抗氧化剂来源,通过对抗自由基提供抗衰老保护,自由基会对皮肤造成损害。在你的饮食或护肤中加入葡萄可以帮助你拥有更年轻的肤色。) ”可知,葡萄可以添加到她的饮食和日常护肤中,帮助她保持年轻。故选C。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.(为了获得容光焕发和年轻的皮肤,许多人转向化妆品和治疗。然而,大自然为我们提供了大量的成分,可以为我们的皮肤创造奇迹,而不需要刺激性的化学物质或侵入性的程序。在日常护肤中加入食物成分是一种既美味又有效的滋养和呵护皮肤的方法。)”和最后一段的“Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!(将这些食物成分加入你的护肤程序中可以为你的皮肤提供许多好处,从补水和去角质到抗氧化保护和抗衰老。利用大自然的恩赐,你可以获得健康、容光焕发的皮肤,而不需要刺激性的化学物质或侵入性的治疗。所以下次你在厨房的时候,考虑使用这些天然成分,从内到外滋养和呵护你的皮肤。你的皮肤会感谢你的!)”可知,从牛奶、橄榄油、葡萄、木瓜、草莓、蜂蜜和橘子等食品中提取的天然护肤成分对皮肤补水、抗衰老、去角质和整体皮肤健康的好处,目标受众可能对自然的方法感兴趣,而不是诉诸刺激性化学物质或侵入性治疗,因此这篇文章针对的是那些想要变得美丽和健康的女性。故选C。
(C)
Like many historical films, Amadeus is far from a faithful account of what is known about the period and the people that it portrays. Events are exaggerated and simplified, and the complexity of real characters is reduced to suit the needs of a dramatic contrast between good and evil. Such historical liberties are often complained by experts, but few have seemed to mind the wayward story points of Amadeus. This is no doubt partly attributable to the film’s high entertainment value: it is an unusually lively and funny historical film. Furthermore, the film’s appeal is also attributable to Mozart’s music.
For all its liberties, the story is actually based on a real rumor that circulated in Vienna in the 1820s. While gravely ill, the rival composer Antonio Salieri (1750-1825) confessed he had murdered Mozart decades earlier by poisoning him. Salieri was suffering from dementia (痴呆) at the time of this confession, and he later withdrew it, but some chose to believe the claim. More than 150 years later, the English playwright Peter Shaffer based the story of Amadeus not just on Salieri’s confession but also the idea that Salieri had suffered from a deep and bitter jealousy of Mozart. In the fun-loving Mozart, the story goes, Salieri saw a true genius — one who made his own talent and accomplishments appear overshadowed — and this drove him on a vendetta (宿怨) that ultimately resulted in murder.
Shaffer’s story makes for great drama biased against Salieri. If Salieri had little reason to fear or resent Mozarfs success, there was naturally a degree of rivalry between two men working in the same profession and in the same city. Salieri and Mozart belonged to separate musical groups, and Italian and German opera fell into and out of favor during this period. The composers were therefore striving for work, including post of musical tutor to the Princess of Wiirttemberg, which Salieri successfully attained, they saw their operas’ debut side by side, yet there is little evidence of any hostility Mozart did complain in a letter to his father that Joseph H favored Salieri over all other that observation was an accurate one. Both Mozart and his father suspected that, behind the scenes, Salieri tried to undermine Mozart’s success, but these were hardly unusual suspicions in a field so reliant on sponsorship. In public, fellow composers reported that Mozart, and Salieri were friendly with another. Shortly after the premiere of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Salieri attended a performance with Mozart, and applauded warmly and vigorously. Thus, any ill feeling between Mozart and Salieri was borne by the former rather than the latter — contrary to what is strongly depicted in Amadeus — and it stemmed from Salieri’s status and success rather than his perceived averageness.
43. According to the author, Amadeus’s appeal comes from the following EXCEPT ________.
A. depiction of Mozart’s character
B. actors’ excellent performance
C. a storyline true to history
D. Mozart’s music in the film
44. There was some rivalry between Mozart and Salieri mainly because they ________.
A. lived and worked in the same city
B. competed for musical work and post
C. joined different musical groups
D. suspected each other on some occasions
45. What does the author think of the cause of ill feeling between the two men?
A. Mozart’s experience of breaking up with his father.
B. Salieri’s attempt to undermine Mozart’s success.
C. Mozart’s success and status as a musical talent.
D. Salieri’s success and status in the musical circle.
46. Throughout the passage, the author mainly attempts to ________.
A. correct some distorted details in the film
B. analyze how the film appeals to audience
C. highlight the entertainment value of the film
D. give an account of Mozart as a genius musician
【答案】43. C 44. B 45. D 46. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是Amadeus这部史诗电影中的一些失真的细节。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Like many historical films, Amadeus is far from a faithful account of what is known about the period and the people that it portrays. Events are exaggerated and simplified, and the complexity of real characters is reduced to suit the needs of a dramatic contrast between good and evil. Such historical liberties are often complained by experts, but few have seemed to mind the wayward story points of Amadeus. This is no doubt partly attributable to the film’s high entertainment value: it is an unusually lively and funny historical film. Furthermore, the film’s appeal is also attributable to Mozart’s music. (像许多历史电影一样,Amadeus远没有忠实地描述它所描绘的时代和人物。事件被夸大和简化,真实人物的复杂性被降低,以适应善恶之间戏剧性对比的需要。专家们经常抱怨这样的历史自由,但似乎很少有人在意Amadeus中任性的故事点。毫无疑问,这在一定程度上归功于这部电影的高娱乐价值:这是一部异常生动有趣的历史电影。此外,这部电影的吸引力也归功于莫扎特的音乐。)”可知,Amadeus的吸引力不包括C选项“a storyline true to history (真实的历史故事情节)”,故选C。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“If Salieri had little reason to fear or resent Mozarfs success, there was naturally a degree of rivalry between two men working in the same profession and in the same city.

(如果Salieri没有理由害怕或怨恨莫扎特的成功,那么在同一城市从事同一职业的两人之间自然会有一定程度的竞争。Salieri和莫扎特属于不同的音乐团体,意大利和德国的歌剧在这一时期兴衰交替。因此,作曲家们都在努力工作,包括Salieri成功获得的Princess of Wiirttemberg的音乐导师职位,他们并肩观看了他们的歌剧首演,但几乎没有任何敌意的证据,莫扎特在给父亲的一封信中抱怨说,Joseph H最喜欢Salieri,这是一个准确的观察。)”可知,莫扎特和Salieri之间有一些竞争,主要是因为他们竞争音乐作品和职位,故选B。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The composers were therefore striving for work, including post of musical tutor to the Princess of Wiirttemberg, which Salieri successfully attained (因此,作曲家们都在努力工作,包括Salieri成功获得的Princess of Wiirttemberg的音乐导师职位)”和最后一段的“Thus, any ill feeling between Mozart and Salieri was borne by the former rather than the latter — contrary to what is strongly depicted in Amadeus — and it stemmed from Salieri’s status and success rather than his perceived averageness. (因此,莫扎特和Salieri之间的任何怨恨都是由前者承担的,而不是后者——这与Amadeus中强烈描述的相反——而且这种怨恨源于Salieri的地位和成功,而不是他被认为的平庸。)”可知,作者认为这两个人之间产生嫌隙的原因是Salieri在音乐界的成功和地位。故选D。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Like many historical films, Amadeus is far from a faithful account of what is known about the period and the people that it portrays.

Why California is burning
For decades, environmentalists have warned that the world is going to burn. Mostly, they meant it figuratively. But footage (影像片段) of fires sweeping through the Amazon forest, parts of Australia and now, once again, California, makes it easy to believe the planet is, literally, on fire. So far this year, California has seen more than 2.5m acres burned and more than 3,700 structures destroyed. With over three months remaining of this year's fire season, few doubt the state is facing its worst yet.
The fires themselves cannot be stopped; they are fueled by climate change layered on top of an ecosystem that burns regularly as part of its natural cycle. Hotter temperatures and drier landscapes mean more fires. ____47____. It has made itself more vulnerable with out-of-date regulations and self-defeating policies.
California does deserve credit for being the only American state to have adopted fire-safe building codes for what is known as the “wildland-urban interface”, where houses are sparsely dotted through tall, flammable (易燃的) trees and vegetation, often on steep slopes that flames can race up. Evidence suggests the codes do help limit damage. However, they apply only to new structures. ____48____. Nor are there subsidies or other motivations to nudge people and firms to take on the heavy, complicated and expensive task of making buildings safe.
Furthermore, the codes date back to 2008 and have not yet been updated to include the latest science on why buildings burn. ____49____. Today, landscapers can still draw up designs where bark mulch — an almost perfect fuel — is laid down around a home, office, or even hospital.
Fire-risk maps and zoning, which determine who must follow building codes, are in desperate need of a rethink. Among other things, they consider urbanized areas “unburnable”, which ignores science showing that the majority of buildings catch fire when flying embers (余烬) are blown a mile or more away from the flaming vegetation. ____50____. When Coffey Park in Santa Rosa was destroyed by wildfire in 2017, the city vowed to rebuild better, but it hesitated because of unfounded fears that being fire-safe would be a lot more costly. Strict fire codes were not enforced, and the community once more had to evacuate during a fire in 2019 rather than shelter-in-place.
No wonder California is caught in a burn-rebuild-burn-again cycle. The fires are not going away. But if state leaders rethought their misguided policies, they would at least wreak less havoc.
A. However, much of California’s mess nowadays is of its-own-making.
B. They also do nothing about the need to improve most of the existing houses and other properties.
C. California has failed to encourage homeowners to move out of the most dangerous areas.
D. As a result, communities that are at risk from wildfires are not held to fire-safety rules — sometimes with very serious consequences.
E. On September 7th, a utility serving northern California shut off the power supply to tens of thousands of homes.
F. That includes strong evidence that the first five feet around a structure are key to its defense but all too often consist of flammable materials.
【答案】47. A 48. B 49. F 50. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章解释了加州野火频发且损失惨重的原因:气候变化加剧了本就易燃的生态环境,加州的防火建筑法规陈旧且执行不力。
【47题详解】
上文“The fires themselves cannot be stopped; they are fueled by climate change layered on top of an ecosystem that burns regularly as part of its natural cycle. Hotter temperatures and drier landscapes mean more fires. (这些火灾本身无法被阻止;它们的燃料来自于气候变化,而气候变化又叠加在一个本就会定期燃烧的生态系统之上 —— 燃烧本就是该系统自然循环的一部分。更高的温度和更干燥的地貌意味着会有更多的火灾)”指出燃烧是自然循环的一部分,更高的温度和更干燥的地貌意味着更多的火灾,即自然原因导致火灾。下文“It has made itself more vulnerable with out-of-date regulations and self-defeating policies.(过时的法规和弄巧成拙的政策使它变得更加脆弱)”指出法规和政策使加利福尼亚变得更脆弱。由此可知,火灾不仅是自然造成的,加利福尼亚州本身也要负责。A项“然而,如今加州的许多混乱都是它自己造成的。”符合语境,承上启下。故选A。
【48题详解】
上文“Evidence suggests the codes do help limit damage. However, they apply only to new structures. (有证据表明,这些规范确实有助于限制损害。然而,它们只适用于新建筑)”指出规范仅适合新建筑。下文“Nor are there subsidies or other motivations to nudge people and firms to take on the heavy, complicated and expensive task of making buildings safe.(也没有补贴或其他动机来推动人们和公司承担使建筑安全的繁重、复杂和昂贵的任务)”指出没有推动人们和公司承担建筑安全的动机。上下文都是负面信息,由此推知,空处继续陈述规范的弊端,以衔接上下文。B项“它们对于改善大多数现有房屋和其他房产的需求也毫无帮助。”符合语境,选项中的they指代上文的codes。故选B。
【49题详解】
上文“Furthermore, the codes date back to 2008 and have not yet been updated to include the latest science on why buildings burn.(此外,这些规范可追溯到2008年,尚未更新以包括有关建筑物燃烧原因的最新科学)”指出规范未更新,没有指出建筑物燃烧原因的最新科学。由此推知,下文可能举例陈述规范的不足之处。F项“这其中包括有力的证据表明,建筑物周围最初的五英尺范围是其防御的关键,但这一区域却往往布满了易燃材料。”符合语境。故选F。
【50题详解】
上文“Among other things, they consider urbanized areas “unburnable”, which ignores science showing that the majority of buildings catch fire when flying embers (余烬) are blown a mile or more away from the flaming vegetation. (他们还把城市化区域视为“不可燃烧的”,这一观点忽略了科学证据——当燃烧的植被产生的飞火(燃烧的余烬)被风吹到一英里或更远的地方时,大多数建筑物都会起火)”指出燃烧产生的余烬被风吹起来时可能导致周围或更远的建筑物着火,即没有区域是“不可燃烧的”。由此猜测,空处陈述这种不科学划分导致的结果。D项“因此,那些面临野火风险的社区并未被要求遵守消防安全规定 —— 有时会造成非常严重的后果。”符合语境。故选D。
Ⅳ. Summary Writing(10’)
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Canals in Britain
The restoration of Britain’s vast canal network has been a notable success. Wild ducks and birds can be seen along the 100 miles or so of Birmingham’s canals. Manchester boat users and walkers can learn about the origin of the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) along waterways that run through the city. Then comes a heavy blow: having previously frozen funding for the Canal & River Trust, the government now plans cuts of £ 300 million to its finances, beginning in 2017.
This shortsighted decision will stretch resources beyond breaking point. Volunteers already have to be relied on for clean-up work and other tasks, which may leave the maintenance all the more difficult. Some canals may even have to close. One report mentions that the large stretches of London’s network will be affected, including Little Venice.
Originally saved in the 1960s by the then transport secretary Barbara Castle, these waterways were noted for their potentially broader uses besides transportation. Five decades on, Castle’s vision of “leisure ways” has become a reality. Joggers are seen pounding the sunny tracks, fishers sitting on grassy banks, tourists sightseeing on narrowboats, and kids merrily cycling around. Their public good doesn’t stop here. Along the five-mile stretch of the Chesterfield canal, a former lock-house (船闸管理人值班房) now hosts a cafe, a meeting room, shower facilities and a play and picnic area. Essential services are available, from small restaurants to corner stores, making canals attractive to business as well as boat enthusiasts.
This is the kind of reimagining of waterways that Barbara Castle foresaw. The government has a responsibility to ensure that they are maintained rather than ruined by funding cuts deeply in conflict with the spirit and direction of the times.

Despite the canals’ ecological and historical significance, the British government plans to cut funding to the canals. This may lead to insufficient maintenance and closure of some canals. However, these restored canals stand for public good in terms of recreation and business. The government should reconsider its decision to cut funding.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍英国运河网络修复成效显著,兼具生态、历史价值与休闲商业功能,但政府计划大幅削减其资金,这可能导致维护困难甚至部分运河关闭,作者呼吁政府重新考虑该决定。
【详解】1. 要点摘录
①The restoration of Britain’s vast canal network has been a notable success. Wild ducks and birds can be seen along the 100 miles or so of Birmingham’s canals. Manchester boat users and walkers can learn about the origin of the Industrial Revolution along waterways that run through the city.
②Then comes a heavy blow: having previously frozen funding for the Canal & River Trust, the government now plans cuts of £ 300 million to its finances, beginning in 2017.
③This shortsighted decision will stretch resources beyond breaking point. Volunteers already have to be relied on for clean-up work and other tasks, which may leave the maintenance all the more difficult. Some canals may even have to close.
④Joggers are seen pounding the sunny tracks, fishers sitting on grassy banks, tourists sightseeing on narrowboats, and kids merrily cycling around. Along the five-mile stretch of the Chesterfield canal, a former lock-house now hosts a cafe, a meeting room, shower facilities and a play and picnic area. Essential services are available, from small restaurants to corner stores, making canals attractive to business as well as boat enthusiasts.
⑤The government has a responsibility to ensure that they are maintained rather than ruined by funding cuts deeply in conflict with the spirit and direction of the times.
2. 缜密构思
将第①点作为总起,点明运河修复成效及生态、历史价值;将第②、③点整合为政府的资金削减计划及潜在危害;将第④点作为运河的休闲与商业功能补充;将第⑤点作为总结,强调政府应重新考虑削减决定。
3. 遣词造句
Despite the canals’ ecological and historical significance, the British government plans to cut funding to the canals. This may lead to insufficient maintenance and closure of some canals. However, these restored canals stand for public good in terms of recreation and business. The government should reconsider its decision to cut funding.
【点睛】[高分句型1] Despite the canals’ ecological and historical significance, the British government plans to cut funding to the canals.(运用了不定式短语作定语)
[高分句型2] However, these restored canals stand for public good in terms of recreation and business.(运用了过去分词短语作定语修饰canals)

52. 有证据表明,定期锻炼对于提升专注度和记忆力有着积极的影响.(There) (汉译英)
______________________________________________________
【答案】There is evidence/proof (indicating/to suggest) that regular exercise/taking regular exercise has a positive impact/effect/influence on improving/enhancing/boosting concentration and memory.
【解析】
【详解】考查there be句型、同位语从句和短语。表示“有证据表明”应用there be句型,即There is evidence/proof ;表示“表明”可以用indicate或suggest,因此处作后置定语修饰evidence/proof,使用现在分词indicating或不定式to suggest;表示“定期锻炼”短语为regular exercise或动词短语take regular exercise,因此处做主语,使用动名词短语taking regular exercise;表示“对……有积极影响”短语为,因此处表示的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时,且因主语为单数第三人称,谓语动词使用单数第三人称形式has a positive impact/effect/influence on;表示“提升专注度和记忆力”短语为improve/enhance/boost concentration and memory,因此处在句中做介词on的宾语,应使用动名词短语improving/enhancing/boosting concentration and memory。故翻译为There is evidence/proof (indicating/to suggest) that regular exercise/taking regular exercise has a positive impact/effect/influence on improving/enhancing/boosting concentration and memory。
53. 这个产品的几个新特性,比如电池续航提升和投屏功能,将极大地增强其吸引力。(add)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________
【答案】The (several) new features/characteristics of the product, such as increased/extended battery life and screen casting/mirroring/projection, will significantly add to its appeal/charm.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和名词短语。根据句意,该句描述产品新特性未来产生的影响,全句使用一般将来时。“这个产品的几个新特性”译为the (several) new features/characteristics of the product作主语,句首单词首字母需大写;“比如电池续航提升和投屏功能”作插入语表列举,用such as引出,“电池续航提升”译为increased/extended battery life,“投屏功能”译为screen casting/mirroring/projection,与“电池续航提升”为并列关系,所以使用并列连词and连接;“将极大地增强其吸引力”中,“将”体现将来时,用will作助动词,“极大地”译为significantly作状语修饰动词,“增强”根据提示词add用固定短语add to,“其吸引力”译为its appeal/charm,即will significantly add to its appeal/charm。故翻译为The (several) new features/characteristics of the product, such as increased/extended battery life and screen casting/mirroring/projection, will significantly add to its appeal/charm.
54. 西餐的正餐通常包括开胃菜、汤品、主菜和甜品,虽然每道菜的分量不大,但依次享用后,最终会带来满满的饱腹感。(consist)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________
【答案】A formal Western dinner usually consists of an appetizer, soup, a main course and a dessert, and although each dish is served in moderate portion, enjoying each course one by one brings a sense of fullness/satisfaction ultimately.
【解析】
【详解】考查从句和时态。句子陈述客观事实,用一般现在时;第一个分句主语“西餐的正餐”表达为a formal Western dinner,谓语“包括”表达为consist of,主语是单数,谓语动词用单数形式,宾语“开胃菜、汤品、主菜和甜品”表达为an appetizer, soup, a main course and a dessert;第二个分句处理为主从复合句,表示“虽然”可用although引导让步状语从句,从句主语“每道菜”表达为each dish,“分量不大”可理解为“按适中的分量提供”,serve表示“提供”和主语为被动关系,应用被动语态,“用适中的分量”表达为in moderate portion,主语是第三人称单数,be用is,主句主语“依次享用”用动名词短语enjoying each course one by one表达,“带来满满的饱腹感”表达为bring a sense of fullness/satisfaction,bring作谓语,动名词短语作主语,谓语动词用单数形式,状语“最终”可用ultimately表达。综上,故翻译为A formal Western dinner usually consists of an appetizer, soup, a main course and a dessert, and although each dish is served in moderate portion, enjoying each course one by one brings a sense of fullness/satisfaction ultimately.

Are Screens Bad for Our Bodies?
Are Screens Bad for Our Bodies?
“You’ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ____56____ her, of course. It was just something parents said. Fast-forward a few decades and now I’m the parent. My 5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren’t ____57____ pieces of furniture, but lie around on the kitchen table, on the sofa, by the bed, constantly accessible. You can’t even avoid them by going outside. “Screens are not only in our pockets, they’re on billboards, buses and bins,” says Tim Smith, a psychologist at Birkbeck, University of London. The concerns have ____58____ with the screens. In the past decade, we have heard that they will rewire our brains, ____59____ us of cognitive abilities and damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling grumpier, guiltier and more tired as a result. The list of ills makes square eyes sound ____60____.
So should we take these concerns more seriously? Given the amount of time so many of us spend with our lit-up devices, it is a(n) ____61____ question.
The trouble is, many of the most emphatic answers are the least ____62____. As the fears grow and the debate becomes ever more heated, it’s time to separate the proven health advice from the hyperbole.
Smartphone pinky, tech neck, bone spurs at the back of our skulls: the ailments we are meant to have inflicted on ourselves through excessive phone use all sound terrifying. Hence the headlines ____63____, there is no good evidence that such alarming conditions are caused by our tech habit.
Any harm is likely to be far less ____64____. The World Health Organization, for example, recommends limiting screentime as a way of tackling obesity, voicing _____65_____ health concerns related to screens in particular.
What about the effect of staring at small, bright screens on our eyesight? In the past few years, more children in the UK have been _____66_____ glasses, says Max Davie at the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health in London. This has led some to claim that phones and tablets are to blame. But Davie thinks the _____67_____ has more to do with aggressive management of existing conditions. “At the moment, we don’t have sufficient evidence for a causal link,” he says.
One thing that does appear to be _____68_____ is sleep. Studies have shown that people who are given a book to read in bed find it harder to go to sleep if they read it on a screen rather than on paper. This is probably because of the blue light that most screens emit, which throws off our circadian rhythm and tricks us into thinking it is daytime.
Of course, most of us who look at our phones last thing at night aren’t reading a book. Much sleep disruption is related to mental _____69_____: waiting for the next notification, say, or scrolling through _____70_____ news feeds. Insufficient or disrupted sleep has been linked to increased risk for all manner of health problems, including depression and other mental health concerns.
“If there are any recommendations to be adopted, not using screens in the hour before bed seems to be the one with the greatest support,” says Smith.
