M:Well,the camp isn’t that expensive,really.However,there are not as many English classes as I would expect.
W:OK,then take a look at this one—the Language Ranch in Colorado,in the United States.What do you think?
M:This programme has a lot more English classes and the activities look great.I think it’d be a really good experience for you to go horseback riding in the mountains.It looks quite good,actually,except for the price.It’s never going to be cheap to go to the United States.I think we need to think about it for a while.
Text 10
Today,I’ll talk about a great artist,Leonardo da Vinci.He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci,near Florence,Italy.At 15,Leonardo went to work with a famous artist.At the age of 20,he was already a master painter.Although da Vinci was a great painter,he never gave up his interest in other subjects.For example,he drew a flying machine 400 years before the airplane was invented.In all,da Vinci designed more than 1,000 inventions.As a matter of fact,da Vinci started many projects that he never finished.He was always more interested in planning projects than doing them.He often quickly lost interest in one project and couldn’t wait to start another.So he completed very few paintings.Da Vinci took four years to paint the Mona Lisa.Unfortunately,the man who ordered the painting didn’t like it and refused to pay him.However,ten years later,da Vinci sold it to the King of France.The King hung it in the Louvre Palace in Paris.Today the Mona Lisa still hangs in the Louvre,which is now a museum.
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分 50 分)
第一节 (共15 小题;每小题2.5分,满分 37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Have you ever been really hungry,but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen? Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone.Some of our favorite foods were created by accident.Here’s a sample menu of two familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.
POTATO CHIPS
One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint.In 1853,a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs,New York.He ordered fried potatoes,a popular side dish.But when they came out of the kitchen,he didn’t think they were crispy enough.He sent them back to the kitchen,where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced(切成薄片) the potatoes really thin,put lots of salt on them,and fried them.Not only did the diner love them,but everyone else did,too.They soon became a specialty of the restaurant.
TOFU
Tofu or bean curd is made by curdling(凝结的) fresh soya milk,pressing it into a solid block and then cooling it.Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago,when a cook added seaweed to soya milk,which made it curdle.This is the same process that is used for making cheese.Like cheese,tofu is a great example of how really messing up(搞砸) a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.
语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了两种人们在偶然条件下发明的食物。
21.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The company that invented cheese got its inspiration from tofu.
B.Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking.
C.Potato chips are only popular among Americans.
D.Tofu dates back 2,000 years in China.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据TOFU部分中的“Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago”可知,豆腐在2 000年前被意外地发明。由此可知,豆腐可以追溯到2 000年前的中国。故选D。
22.What do the two foods have in common?
A.They are the results of complaints.
B.They were not created on purpose.
C.They weren’t originally made for people.
D.They were both created in China.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据首段末句“Here’s a sample menu of two familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.”可知,这两种食物的共同点是:它们都是无意间被发明出来的。故选B。
23.What’s the purpose of the text?
A.To compare the features of some foods.
B.To inform readers of some foods.
C.To introduce the origins of some foods.
D.To recommend some foods.
答案 C
解析 写作意图题。根据首段中的“Some of our favorite foods were created by accident.Here’s a sample menu of two familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.”并结合全文可知,本文介绍的是被偶然发明的两种食物。由此推知,这篇文章的目的是介绍这些食物的起源。故选C。
B
Frederick Banting hated school.Having grown up on a farm near Alliston,Ontario,Fred was a good worker but felt uncomfortable and unaccepted in a town school.After graduation,he began studies to become a minister.When that did not go well,he changed his goal to medicine.World War Ⅰ arrived,and the great need for field medics(救护人员) resulted in the early graduation of Fred.After the war,the young Canadian doctor returned home to set up his practice.Just then he began to focus on articles on diabetes(糖尿病),a disease that had claimed the life of a neighbour’s child.
To solve the problem of this disease,Fred approached Dr.J.J.R.Macleod at the University of Toronto and eventually convinced Dr.Macleod to support him.In 1920,Fred happily entered a poorly equipped laboratory and was given a young assistant named Charles Best.Fred and Charles worked day and night,but early results in producing the hormone(激素) preparation they called insulin(胰岛素) were discouraging.Many of the animals they treated died.Finally one animal survived for several weeks.The team appeared to be finally getting somewhere,and it was time to move on to human subjects.Before treating human patients,however,Fred and Charles tested the safety of their insulin each other.Their tests were a triumph.
The first patient to be treated was a fourteen-year-old boy named Leonard.The year was 1921.The poor boy weighed only seventy-five pounds,and he was barely alive.But the new insulin treatment administered by Fred and Charles was a great success.Leonard gained weight,and his health dramatically improved.
In 1923,the Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded jointly to Canadian doctors Frederick Banting and J.J.R.Macleod.Fred could have made himself a millionaire with his discovery.Instead,he sold his patent for the production of insulin to the University of Toronto—for one dollar—so that the drug could be marketed cheaply and thousands of lives could be saved and improved.Thanks to Fred,diabetics are able to live normal lives where before it was impossible.
Fred was just ordinary in many respects but he was a man with the strong will to get to his goal.He had the heart of a true Canadian hero.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了弗雷德里克·班廷在一战后投身于糖尿病研究,研制出胰岛素,却以一美元的价格卖掉了该专利,以让更多的病人得到救治。
24.What does paragraph 1 focus on?
A.Why Fred graduated early.
B.How Fred took up the research.
C.Why Fred changed his life goal.
D.What Fred experienced in the war.
答案 B
解析 段落大意题。第一段中“After graduation,he began studies to become a minister.When that did not go well,he changed his goal to medicine...Just then he began to focus on articles on diabetes(糖尿病),a disease that had claimed the life of a neighbour’s child.”以时间顺序讲述了弗雷德毕业后的一系列发展:从想成为牧师到做了战地医生再到最后开始研究糖尿病。所以第一段重点讲述弗雷德是如何开始从事这项(糖尿病)研究的。故答案为B。
25.What does the underlined word “triumph” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Victory. B.Reference.
C.Challenge. D.Demonstration.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。画线词所在句中的Their tests指代Fred 和Charles在他们自己身上做的胰岛素试验。根据第三段中的“But the new insulin treatment administered by Fred and Charles was a great success”可知他们在自己身上的试验是成功的。故画线词是“成功”的含义。故答案为A。
26.Why did Fred sell his patent?
A.To make money.
B.To earn reputation.
C.To benefit patients.
D.To promote insulin.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Instead,he sold his patent for the production of insulin...and thousands of lives could be saved and improved.”可知弗雷德卖出专利是想让更多的病人受益。故答案为C。
27.Which of the following is probably the best title for the text?
A.A Successful Test
B.A Famous Scientist
C.A Chance Discovery
D.An Unlikely Hero
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据最后两段可知,文章主要讲述了弗雷德里克在战后投身于糖尿病研究,成功研制出胰岛素,本可以成为百万富翁,却以一美元的价格卖掉了该专利以让更多的病人得到救治,他在许多方面都是平凡的但他却有一颗真正的加拿大英雄的心。所以D选项“一位意想不到的英雄”最适合作为文章标题。故答案为D。
C
Scientists near San Francisco work to identify a type of endangered fish using a tool that was originally made for treating cancer.
Currently,CRISPR is used to change the genetic material in specific cells.By changing the structure of immune cells,it helps recognize and fight cancer.The same technology is now used in a special machine called Sherlock,which,of course,is named after the famous investigator Sherlock Holmes.They do not,however,use Sherlock to change fish cells.Instead,the ocean researchers catch the fish,collect a small amount of mucus(黏液) and then test the cells to find the genetic makeup of the fish.It can be done in about 30 minutes.In the past,the researchers would have to wait weeks or months to get test results.
The researchers have found that the technology is extremely helpful when looking at different species of Chinook salmon,because they look nearly the same.However,some of them are endangered,and the scientists need to keep track of them.
In the past,the scientists would catch the Chinook salmon and measure them to tell them apart.“It’s not very accurate,” said Andrea Schreier,an associate professor at the University of California in Davis.Now she is working on the salmon.Schreier said when they catch the fish,the Sherlock machine can quickly tell them if they have one of the special salmon.It’s important because it allows the scientists to do things that will help the endangered salmon live longer.For example,they can catch them in lakes far away from the coast and take them by truck to the San Francisco Bay.In the past,the fish might have tried to make it to the Bay by swimming in rivers.However,due to climate change,the river water is sometimes too warm for the fish to make the trip safely.
Schreier said she feels good about the project because she likes being able to assist with conservation.“I really want to work to maintain our ecosystems and our native populations as much as possible,given all of the pressures that we humans place on them through our different activities.”
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种叫作Sherlock的机器及其所使用的CRISPR技术。科研人员通过该技术能够更快更准确地辨别生物的种类。
28.Which of the following best describes the technology?
A.Immature. B.Efficient.
C.Inaccurate. D.Economical.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“It can be done in about 30 minutes.In the past,the researchers would have to wait weeks or months to get test results.”可知,这项技术大约30分钟就可以完成检测工作,比以往数周或数月才能得到测试结果要有效率。故选B。
29.What do the new technology and the traditional way have in common?
A.They originally aimed at detecting cancer.
B.They test the fish mucus to tell them apart.
C.They are carried out by researchers in the lab.
D.They help researchers tell different salmons apart.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“In the past,the scientists would catch the Chinook salmon and measure them to tell them apart.”以及“Schreier said when they catch the fish,the Sherlock machine can quickly tell them if they have one of the special salmon.”可知,新旧方法都可以帮助研究人员区分不同种类的鲑鱼。故选D。
30.What can be inferred about the Chinook salmons?
A.They will soon die out.
B.They are of the same size.
C.They are used to cool water.
D.They are now well protected.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“However,due to climate change,the river water is sometimes too warm for the fish to make the trip safely.”可知,气候变暖导致河水变热,使得这种鱼的迁徙变得危险,由此可推知,这种鱼适宜在较凉爽的水域中生存。故选C。
31.What do we know about Andrea Schreier from the text?
A.She is rather devoted to the conservation.
B.She can now spend less time on her work.
C.She thinks her work needs improvement.
D.She thinks humans are greatly pressured.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中Andrea Schreier的话“I really want to work to maintain our ecosystems and our native populations as much as possible”可知,Andrea Schreier想要尽力维持生态系统和地方种群的稳定,即她对自然保护工作十分投入。故选A。
D
You may have been told to “look on the good side” or to “see the cup as half full”.It is likely that the people making these comments are positive thinkers.Researchers are finding more and more evidence that optimism and positive thinking have many benefits.
When faced with stressful situations,positive thinkers are more effective than pessimists(悲观主义者).Rather than dwelling on their frustrations or things that they cannot change,they will design a plan of action and ask others for help and advice.
In recent years,researchers have found that your mind can have a powerful impact on your body.Immunity(免疫力) is one area where your thoughts and attitudes can have a particularly powerful influence.In one study,researchers found that motivation in brain areas associated with negative emotions led to a weakened immune response to a flu vaccine.Researchers Segerstrom and Sephton found that people who were optimistic about a specific and important part of their lives,such as how well they were doing in school,showed a stronger immune response than those who had a more negative view of the situation.
Positive thinking can not only affect your ability to cope with stress and your immunity,but also affect your overall happiness,including reducing the risk of death due to cardiovascular problems,less depression and an increased lifespan.
Although researchers don’t entirely understand why positive thinking is beneficial to health,some people believe that positive people may lead to healthier lifestyles.By coping better with stress and avoiding unhealthy behaviors,they are able to improve their health and happiness.
It may not be surprising to learn that positive thinking can play an important role in the ability to adapt.When dealing with a challenge,optimists usually think about what they can do to solve the problem.Instead of giving up hope,they make use of their resources and are willing to ask others for help.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章指出越来越多的研究发现,保持积极乐观的心态对身体健康大有裨益。
32.What does the underlined part “dwelling on” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Calling on. B.Living on.
C.Deciding on. D.Focusing on.
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词所在句“相对于dwelling on遇到的挫折或是那些自己无法改变的事情,他们会制订行动计划并向他人寻求帮助和建议”可知,乐观的人不会专注于挫折和无法改变的事情,即画线词dwelling on与focusing on同义,表示“老是想着,专注于”。故选D项。
33.What do researchers find about a positive mind?
A.It is a complex system.
B.It is key to people’s emotions.
C.It can make immunity strengthened.
D.It leads to a weaker immune response.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,积极的思想可以增强人的免疫力。故选C项。
34.Why can positive people lead a healthier life?
A.They seldom have stress.
B.They have a balanced diet.
C.They deal with stress better.
D.They can solve problems on their own.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中“positive people may lead to healthier lifestyles”及最后一句可知,积极乐观的人能更好地应对压力,从而生活得更健康。故选C项。
35.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Strengths of Positive Thinking
B.Positive and Negative Thinking
C.Ways to Form Positive Thinking
D.Stress and Positive Thinking
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段末句可知,研究发现,保持积极乐观的心态对人大有裨益,故A选项贴合主题,适合作文章标题。故选A项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题 2.5分,满分 12.5 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。
Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables.You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. 36
“Organic” refers to the way food is grown.To be labelled as organic,food production must meet strict guidelines.These can be different depending on where you live.In the United States,organic food must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
37 That changed after the Industrial Revolution.During the 20th century,many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms.This helped some farms grow larger and produce more.
The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming.Why? Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. 38 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment.
Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store? If so,you know that organic food tends to cost more.This happens for many reasons.Organic farming produces fewer crops. 39 Additionally,organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise.These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up.
Is organic food worth the extra cost? Some people believe it is.They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 40 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic foods in terms of safety,nutrition,or taste.Still,others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price.
A.Have you ever wondered what that means?
B.The cost of production is also usually higher.
C.For most of history,almost all food was organic.
D.Are you wondering if organic food is right for you?
E.Many people are willing to pay more for organic food.
F.Some also think organic food is naturally more nutritious.
G.Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有机食品的一些相关信息。
36.答案 A
解析 空前一句提到了“organic”一词,下一句解释其含义,由此可知,空处应该是提出“有机”是什么意思,所以A项承上启下。故选A。
37.答案 C
解析 空后说到工业革命之后情况变了,农业也开始用工业理念,由此可知,空处应是说明工业革命前的情况。所以C项“历史上大多数时期,所有食物都是有机的”符合语境。故选C。
38.答案 F
解析 前后内容都是采用传统农业模式的有机运动又重新启动的原因,空处也是说明原因并强调有机农业的好处。故选F。
39.答案 B
解析 根据上下文可知,此处在分析有机食品往往价格更高的原因,B项承接上文,也是有机食品价格高的一个原因。故选B。
40.答案 G
解析 根据空后一句可知,G选项“科学家们已经研究有机和非有机食品很多年了”能够引起下文,G项中的“Scientists”就对应后文中的“They”。故选G。

56.答案 a

57.答案 left

My Favourite Food
Of all the foods I have ever tried,stinky tofu is my favourite.
I like it because of its unique flavour and smell! As the name suggests,the smell is terrible but surprisingly,the taste is actually quite mild—it tastes like fried tofu with less of the bean flavour.The sauce makes it taste even more delicious.As I take each bite,the crisp and juicy flavour slowly fills my mouth.How can I forget such a tasty snack?
Whenever I feel unhappy,I eat this snack and it does make me feel better.
第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Agatha was in the library,reading the Girl Detective series,when she noticed something strange.Her best friends,Timmy and Florence,were talking to each other in whispers while keeping a good,safe distance from her! When she waved at them,they looked away.
Things only got stranger in art class.Timmy and Florence went to sit at a different table from Agatha busy painting and glanced at her when they thought she wasn’t looking.
Now,Agatha considered herself to be something of a detective.After all,she had read many detective stories for children and even had an old broken magnifying glass(放大镜) abandoned by her father.When the rest of the class went out for lunch,she slipped to Timmy and Florence’s table and examined it carefully with the magnifying glass.
There was paint,and red and pink construction paper.What could they be doing? This was definitely a mystery that needed solving!
After lunch Timmy and Florence chatted to her as if nothing was going on,but they kept smiling at her in a slightly strange way.Of course,Agatha could have asked them what they were up to,and they might have told her—but she wouldn’t have a chance to become a detective!
On the way home from school,Florence and her mum happened to walk ahead of Agatha and her mum.Agatha saw them go into the bookshop.Strange,again.Florence didn’t read much—no matter how many detective stories Agatha recommended to her!
The next day at school,Agatha kept an eye on her friends and tried to work out their mystery,but they seemed determined to keep things secret.She asked them if they would like to play with her after school,but they said they couldn’t because they were busy.Even more mysterious...
When Agatha’s mum came to pick her up after school,she was so lost in the unsolved mystery that she hardly noticed her busy father was coming along,which was unusual.When they arrived home,her father said she could go into the living room.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Opening the door of the living room,Agatha heard voices shout from darkness,“SURPRISE!”
After eating the cake,Agatha got down to the business of opening her birthday presents.
参考范文
Opening the door of the living room,Agatha heard voices shout from darkness,“SURPRISE!”When she entered the darkened living room,the lights came on suddenly.Her best friend Timmy and Florence were there,grinning! On the table were a cake with candles and a pile of presents.Mum and Dad followed her into the living room and lit the candles,saying,“Happy birthday,dear.You were so distracted by the mystery to be solved as to forget today is your birthday! Now,blow the candles,make a wish and enjoy the cake.”
After eating the cake,Agatha got down to the business of opening her birthday presents.The first gift was the big red and pink birthday card with “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” written on it in Timmy and Florence’s childish handwriting.“We hope you like the card we made for you!” said Timmy,and Florence added,“We also bought the latest Sherlock Holmes Detective series for you!” Agatha hugged her friends in appreciation of their surprise gifts.Mum and Dad handed her a brand-new magnifying glass in place of the old broken one.Agatha might not have solved the mystery,but it was still a wonderful birthday party!
