The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to keep the Norsemen out of Scotland, but there were too many of them. It looked as if the Norsemen would win. One night, the leader of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will have another fight. We must win or we will die.” They were all very tired so they ate their dinner quickly and fell asleep. There were four soldiers on duty, watching out for any danger at night. But they were also very tired. One by one, they fell asleep as well. The Norsemen were not asleep. Very soon, they came together at the foot of the hill. In order to walk quietly, the Norsemen took off their shoes. Slowly they climbed up the hillside without making any sound. Closer and closer, they moved towards the sleeping Scots. They were almost there. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly, one of the Norse soldiers put his foot on a thistle (蓟) and got hurt. He cried out and his sudden cry woke up all the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready to fight. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots drove the Norsemen away and saved their country. From then on, the thistle has become popular in Scotland. Although it is not beautiful and has sharp needles all over it, Scottish people still make it their national flower. 26. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The Scots. B.

C Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial (人造的) light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution is a global issue. This became especially obvious when the World Atlas (地图册) of Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm (生理节奏)— the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological (生理的) processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin (褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is stopped when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in LEDs, the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙) patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals (滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt (海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible (可逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡) and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 33. What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para.3 probably mean? A. Improve greatly. B. Maintain Well. C. Manage strictly. D. Damage seriously. 34. According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A. Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016. B. Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C. Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals. D. LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A. Uncertain. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Hopeful. 36. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to reduce light pollution. B. To discuss pros and cons of artificial light. C. To give suggestions to protect environment. D. To show future development of artificial light. D Auggie’s Story Sleep I’d been reading for over an hour and sleep still didn’t come. It was almost two a. m. Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn’t sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind. When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we’d been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn’t know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It’s so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in your life, but to everybody else it’s just a usual night. Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same. But something was different. Something had changed. Home “So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?” I asked Mum. “Whatever you want to talk about,” she answered. “Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time,” I said. “I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me.” “No, sweetie. Don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?” “I know.” I nodded. “But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?” “There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie,” she said, looking at me. “But I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos. And those other kids.” “Oh yeah, Miles and Henry,” I answered. “They were amazing, too. It’s very strange because Miles and Henry haven’t even really been very nice to me at all during the year.” “Sometimes people surprise us,” she said, rubbing the top of my head. 37. Why couldn’t Auggie fall asleep? A He kept thinking about something. B. He was doing bedtime reading. C. He was looking for his flashlight. D. He didn’t like his sleeping bag. 38. According to the first part, what was different at the camp? A. The sky. B. Auggie’s face. C. The movie. D. Auggie’s feeling. 39. Auggie was worried that ______. A. his mum would feel unhappy B. bad guys would always be around C. he would not have a good trip D. Jack would not be his friend any more 40. What do we know about Miles and Henry? A. They ruined Auggie’s whole trip. B. They took something away from Auggie. C. They were nice to Auggie this time. D. They were Auggie’s best friends. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，选出适当的句子补全短文，使短文意思通顺，内容完整。 Do you often drink fruit juice and think it is good for your health?

But how much is acceptable? Here are the suggestions from scientists. ____45____Adults and children older than 6 should not drink more than 230 ml every day. A. Also, they are 14-percent more likely to die from other diseases. B. That is why some cities in the US have increased prices of sugary drinks. C. This is mainly because these drinks have a lot of sugar. D. Kids between I and 6 years old should drink less than 170 ml of fruit juice every day. E.

The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to keep the Norsemen out of Scotland, but there were too many of them. It looked as if the Norsemen would win. One night, the leader of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will have another fight. We must win or we will die.” They were all very tired, so they ate their dinner quickly and fell asleep. There were four soldiers on duty, watching out for any danger at night. But they were also very tired. One by one, they fell asleep as well. The Norsemen were not asleep. Very soon, they came together at the foot of the hill. In order to walk quietly, the Norsemen took off their shoes. Slowly they climbed up the hillside without making any sound. Closer and closer, they moved towards the sleeping Scots. They were almost there. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly, one of the Norse soldiers put his foot on a thistle (蓟) and got hurt. He cried out and his sudden cry woke up all the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready to fight. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots drove the Norsemen away and saved their country. From then on, the thistle has become popular in Scotland. Although it is not beautiful and has sharp needles all over it, Scottish people still make it their national flower. 26. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The Scots. B. The Norsemen. C. The thistles. D. The dangers at night. 27. In what order did the following happen in the last fight? a. All the Scots soldiers fell asleep. b. The Scots saved their country. c.

The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial (人造的) light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution is a global issue. This became especially obvious when the World Atlas (地图册) of Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm (生理节奏)— the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological (生理的) processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin (褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is stopped when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in LEDs, the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙) patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals (滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt (海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible (可逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡) and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 33. What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para.3 probably mean? A. Improve greatly. B. Maintain Well. C. Manage strictly. D. Damage seriously. 34. According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A. Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016. B. Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C. Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals. D. LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A. Uncertain. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Hopeful. 36. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to reduce light pollution. B. To discuss pros and cons of artificial light. C. To give suggestions to protect environment. D. To show future development of artificial light. 【答案】33. D 34. C 35. D 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了人类过度使用灯光导致光污染，对环境、人类的健康和野生动物的健康产生负面影响，还影响动物迁徙模式和栖息地形成等行为。号召人类采取行动减少光污染，恢复自然夜空。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm”可知，光污染扰乱睡眠、打乱生理节奏。故“wreak havoc on”意思是对自然生理节奏有严重破坏作用。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration patterns and habitat formation.”以及海龟因光污染迷路等例子可知，人造光影响动物方向感和习性。故选C。 【35题详解】 观点态度题。根据“The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky.”可知，作者认为光污染可逆，人们能有所作为，很多人已在行动，所以作者对光污染控制持乐观态度。故选D。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。文章介绍光污染危害后，着重强调人们可采取行动减少光污染，如合理使用户外照明等，目的是呼吁人们减少光污染。故选A。 D Auggie’s Story Sleep I’d been reading for over an hour and sleep still didn’t come. It was almost two a. m. Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn’t sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind. When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we’d been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn’t know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It’s so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in your life, but to everybody else it’s just a usual night. Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same. But something was different. Something had changed. Home “So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?” I asked Mum. “Whatever you want to talk about,” she answered. “Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time,” I said. “I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me.” “No, sweetie. Don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?” “I know.” I nodded. “But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?” “There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie,” she said, looking at me. “But I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos. And those other kids.” “Oh yeah, Miles and Henry,” I answered. “They were amazing, too. It’s very strange because Miles and Henry haven’t even really been very nice to me at all during the year.” “Sometimes people surprise us,” she said, rubbing the top of my head. 37. Why couldn’t Auggie fall asleep? A. He kept thinking about something. B. He was doing bedtime reading. C. He was looking for his flashlight. D. He didn’t like his sleeping bag. 38. According to the first part, what was different at the camp? A. The sky. B. Auggie’s face. C. The movie. D. Auggie’s feeling. 39. Auggie was worried that ______. A. his mum would feel unhappy B. bad guys would always be around C. he would not have a good trip D. Jack would not be his friend any more 40. What do we know about Miles and Henry? A. They ruined Auggie’s whole trip. B. They took something away from Auggie. C. They were nice to Auggie this time. D. They were Auggie’s best friends. 【答案】37. A 38. D 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Auggie在参加学校组织的露营时发生了一些不好的事，他回到家中和妈妈讲述了他的经历，妈妈告诉他世界上的好人远比坏人多。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What had happened kept coming back to my mind.”可知，Auggie睡不着是因为他一直在想一些事情。故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same.”和“But something was different. Something had changed.”可知，天空还是一样，电影也是一样，每个人的脸都一样，Auggie的脸也一样，但是有些事不一样了，有些事改变了。由此推知，是Auggie的感觉不一样了。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?”可知，Auggie担心坏人会一直在身边。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘Oh yeah, Miles and Henry,’ I answered. ‘They were amazing, too. It’s very strange because Miles and Henry haven’t even really been very nice to me at all during the year.’”可推知， 虽然Miles和Henry这一年对Auggie一点都不友好，但是这次露营时对他很好。故选C。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，选出适当的句子补全短文，使短文意思通顺，内容完整。 Do you often drink fruit juice and think it is good for your health? However, a recent study published in a US medical journal（期刊）shows that drinking too much juice—even 100-percent natural fruit juice—will increase your risk of early death. ____41____ According to scientists, drinking too much fruit juice is just like drinking too much soda（汽水）—they both have a lot of sugar Taking in too much sugar can cause many health problems, such as weight problems, heart disease（病）and so on. Some people might say there are also vitamins（维生素）in fruit juice. ____42____ In the study. “sugary drinks” were defined（定义）to include both sugar-sweetened（添加糖的）drinks like soda and 100-percent natural fruit juice.

But how much is acceptable? Here are the suggestions from scientists. ____45____Adults and children older than 6 should not drink more than 230 ml every day. A. Also, they are 14-percent more likely to die from other diseases. B. That is why some cities in the US have increased prices of sugary drinks. C. This is mainly because these drinks have a lot of sugar. D. Kids between I and 6 years old should drink less than 170 ml of fruit juice every day. E.
