A
Watching movies is one of the best ways to learn foreign languages. Here are some of our recommendations.
Roma
Roma is a beautifully shot film that focuses on Mexican society from a female perspective (视角). It tells the story of a young woman who used to work for the family of the film’s director, Alfonso Cuarón, when he was a child. It’s a very personal story that explores the relationship between the lower and upper classes in Latin America, which has remained the same for a long time. This movie is very suitable for a Spanish learner.
Parasite
This is the first foreign-language film to ever win an Oscar for Best Picture. Directed and written by South Korean filmmakers Bong Joon-ho, this deeply unsettling and darkly funny movie tells the story of a lower-class boy who gets a job as a private teacher for a wealthy family. The plot eventually takes a dark turn and becomes a sharp criticism of class differences and the power of the wealthy in South Korea.
Pan’s Labyrinth
Set in post-war Spain, the movie shows a young girl with an active imagination. She is struggling to adapt to life with her new stepfather. Part fantasy, part realism, Pan’s Labyrinth is not what you expect. You’re transported with the girl to a land of her own making that is magical, terrifying and unforgettable. This movie will stay with you for weeks after you watch it.
The Secret of the Grain
Directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, it follows a shipyard worker from an immigrant Arab community in the French port of Sète. After being laid off, he decides to open a restaurant. It delivers very insightful comments on the food and politics of the family in France.
21. Roma is originally shot in ________.
A. Spanish B. English C. French D. Korean
22. Which movie has been awarded an Oscar for Best Picture?
A. Roma. B. Pan’s Labyrinth.
C. Parasite. D. The Secret of the Grain.
23. What do the last two movies have in common?
A. They are based on the directors’ personal lives.
B. They are written from a female’s perspective.
C. They focus on the sharp differences of classes.
D. They explore the complex family relationships.
B
Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.”
“Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.
Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.”
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.”
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”
24. Who does Ho teach at LPCH?
A. Sick children. B. Young nurses.
C. Medical students. D. Patients’ parents.
25. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job?
A. Prioritizing academics. B. Encouraging innovation.
C. Treating various diseases. D. Playing multiple roles.
26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Offering regular lessons. B. Paying extra attention.
C. Assigning no schoolwork. D. Showing no sympathy.
27. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?
A. It eases peer pressure. B. It helps them live in hope.
C. It frees them from aches. D. It entertains them with stories.
C
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
28. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
29. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
30. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home
D
Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
32. What can be inferred about the author’s early life?
A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine.
C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home.
33. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment?
A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste.
C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked.
C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought.
35. What can we learn about wastED?
A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs.
C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs.

67. 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。
“Don’t you need to make any plans for the physics assignment?” asked Leo on Monday morning, looking at her deskmate Luna.
“Not at all. I’ll complete it anyway,” Luna replied confidently. “I’m always lucky enough to hit the deadline.”
Luna’s procrastination (拖延)in studies oddly turned into something she felt proud of. No matter what the assignment was, she’d wait until the day before the deadline, usually midnight, to start to work on it. Each time, she stayed up late and rushed to hand it in just before the last minute of the deadline.
This time came the 10-page lab report with data analysis that needed to be submitted in print by 8:00 am next Monday. The new physics teacher was strict. He issued a warning in advance: If anyone failed to hand it in on time, he or she would have to retake the course. No exception.
“You can’t put it off until the midnight this time, Luna,” said Leo, who always made detailed plans for each assignment and finished it in advance. He told Luna to hand in the report earlier in case of accidents.
But Luna thought that was unnecessary, let alone making plans. “You’ve spent too much time on each assignment, which otherwise can be used for something more interesting,” Luna remarked with a quick look at Leo’s plans for the physics assignment.
Time flew by and Leo managed to hand in the report two days in advance. Leo kindly reminded Luna that the report was complex and that she had better start soon. But Luna refused to listen and spent the remaining days hanging out with her friends.
As the midnight before the deadline fell Luna decided it was time for the physics assignment and finally took out her old laptop. As usual, she sat at her desk, determined to finish the report in one go and print it out in the early morning.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, this time, Luna ran out of her luck.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Luna gave her report to her teacher, he refused to take it.

M: Oh, good morning. I’m flying to Toronto next Friday, and I need to get to York University. Could you tell me what is the best way to get there? Taking the subway or calling a taxi?

M: That sounds great. Can I book that now?
W: Sure. So, what date do you want to book this for?
M: The 16th of August.
W: And when will you arrive at the airport?
M: I think it’s 11:40 am.
W: Then if I book your shuttle for 12:30 pm, that will give you plenty of time to get your bags.
M: Yes, that’s fine.
W: What’s your name?
M: James Thompson.
W: OK What flight will you be traveling on?

Watching movies is one of the best ways to learn foreign languages. Here are some of our recommendations.
Roma
Roma is a beautifully shot film that focuses on Mexican society from a female perspective (视角). It tells the story of a young woman who used to work for the family of the film’s director, Alfonso Cuarón, when he was a child. It’s a very personal story that explores the relationship between the lower and upper classes in Latin America, which has remained the same for a long time. This movie is very suitable for a Spanish learner.
Parasite
This is the first foreign-language film to ever win an Oscar for Best Picture. Directed and written by South Korean filmmakers Bong Joon-ho, this deeply unsettling and darkly funny movie tells the story of a lower-class boy who gets a job as a private teacher for a wealthy family. The plot eventually takes a dark turn and becomes a sharp criticism of class differences and the power of the wealthy in South Korea.
Pan’s Labyrinth
Set in post-war Spain, the movie shows a young girl with an active imagination. She is struggling to adapt to life with her new stepfather. Part fantasy, part realism, Pan’s Labyrinth is not what you expect. You’re transported with the girl to a land of her own making that is magical, terrifying and unforgettable. This movie will stay with you for weeks after you watch it.
The Secret of the Grain
Directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, it follows a shipyard worker from an immigrant Arab community in the French port of Sète. After being laid off, he decides to open a restaurant. It delivers very insightful comments on the food and politics of the family in France.
21. Roma is originally shot in ________.
A. Spanish B. English C. French D. Korean
22. Which movie has been awarded an Oscar for Best Picture?
A Roma. B. Pan’s Labyrinth.
C. Parasite. D. The Secret of the Grain.
23. What do the last two movies have in common?
A. They are based on the directors’ personal lives.

B
Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.”
“Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.
Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.”
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.”
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”
24. Who does Ho teach at LPCH?
A. Sick children. B. Young nurses.
C. Medical students. D. Patients’ parents.
25. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job?
A. Prioritizing academics. B. Encouraging innovation.
C. Treating various diseases. D. Playing multiple roles.
26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Offering regular lessons. B. Paying extra attention.
C. Assigning no schoolwork. D. Showing no sympathy.
27 How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?
A. It eases peer pressure. B. It helps them live in hope.
C. It frees them from aches. D. It entertains them with stories.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Kathy Ho在斯坦福露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院(LPCH)担任教师的工作情况,介绍了医院学校学生的情况、她工作的特点以及医院学校对学生的益处。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. (“这里”指的是386 室,每年约有500名露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院(LPCH)的患者在这里成为学生。这所医院学校里没有家长、医生,也没有医疗程序。它是一个学习的地方。Ho老师的学生中,约有一半只待一周或更短时间,其他人则会待一年以上。大多数学生最终会康复,这意味着,帮助他们做好重返学校的准备正成为护理工作中日益重要的组成部分)” 可知,Ho在露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院(LPCH)教生病的孩子。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher. (我是一名教练、一名顾问和一名安慰者,这就是作为一名医院教师的意义)”可知,Ho工作的一个特点是扮演多种角色。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词所在句“Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. (一些老师不给孩子们布置任何作业,而是表达同情。Ho说:“我觉得这对孩子们是一种伤害”)” 可推知,其中的“it”指的是不给孩子们布置作业这件事。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Julie Good所说的“It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow. (这关乎围绕 “何为充实人生” 展开的问题解决。那些孩子拥有梦想,而学校能通过为他们提供学习与成长的途径,让这些梦想得以延续)”可推知,Good认为医院学校通过让孩子保持学习和成长,帮助他们维系梦想,即帮助他们生活在希望中。故选B。
C
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
28. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
29. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
30. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Detrinidad的创业经历和专家研究,说明室内植物对人们心理健康和工作效率的积极影响,以及近年来居家趋势推动了室内植物产业的发展。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时,她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反:订单如潮水般涌来,仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知,Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时,并没有抱太大希望,但实际情况是订单很多,生意出奇地好。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示:“身处植物周围的学生,其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示,在植物丰富的工作环境中,人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知,Knuth的研究发现,接触植物的学生学业表现更好,成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高,病假率降低,因此,“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说:“医生需要不断实践医术,律师需要持续精进法律实务,而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它,但如果它枯萎了,就再养一株新的。”)”可知,Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的,重要的是持续努力。由此推断,她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起,第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率,第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
D
Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
32. What can be inferred about the author’s early life?
A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine.
C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home.
33. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment?
A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste.
C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems.
34 What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked.
C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought.
35. What can we learn about wastED?
A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs.
C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了食物浪费问题,并以纽约一家餐厅的短期实验项目“wastED”为例,该餐厅通过创意改造本该被丢弃的食材制作菜品,以此提高人们对可持续饮食的关注。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. (这种感觉或许源于在南非的成长经历 —— 在那里,“非洲还有孩子在挨饿” 这句话与其说是晚餐时的祈祷,不如说是对现实令人不安的提醒)” 可知,作者在南非长大,那里有孩子挨饿是事实,由此可推断作者早年目睹了食物短缺的情况。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. (每道菜都是量身定制的,以提高人们对食物浪费的认识)”可知,Blue Hill餐厅进行这个实验,将菜单改为只提供原本会被扔掉的食物,是为了提高公众对食物浪费的认识。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. (值得注意的是,从技术上讲,wastED的菜单上没有一项是由垃圾制成的。相反,所有使用的食材都是大多数餐馆永远不会考虑供应的肉类部位和农产品。羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等东西都被重新利用,在许多优秀厨师的助力下,变成了美味的菜肴)”可知,本段主要介绍了wastED菜单上的菜品所用的配料,如羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等,所以本段主要讲的是这些菜肴是由什么做成的。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. (尽管 wastED 餐厅收获了热烈的评价,但它从一开始就被设计为短期实验项目;此后,Blue Hill 餐厅已回归常规菜单)”可知,wastED从一开始就被设计为短期实验,现在餐厅已恢复常规菜单,从而推断,实验项目“wastED”已经按计划结束了。故选A。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Recently I dined at a “dark restaurant”, ___56___ people eat in complete darkness, ___57___ (serve) by blind staff. I wanted to understand the experience of being blind, and I thought ___58___ (eat) would be the most difficult activity.
It was a difficult meal. Because we couldn’t see where anything was, my friend and I knocked over glasses and ___59___ (drop) food. My senses of taste and smell became more sensitive, and I ate much more ___60___ (slow). Pouring water was very difficult, plus I kept drinking from my friend’s glass.
After failing to pick up any food with a fork, I decided to use my hands. I reached down, expecting rice ___61___ vegetables, but instead I stuck my hand into a bowl of warm, thick soup. “It’s best to use a spoon for this course,” the waiter said into my ear, helpfully but much too late. Even using a spoon, most of ___62___ soup ended up on my shirt. I felt embarrassed, even though no one could see me.
Our waiter advised us ___63___ (lift) the plates and bowls close to our faces. However, I still left the restaurant with a sense of ___64___ (hungry), though I was much more aware of the ___65___ (challenge) that blind people face.
【答案】56. where
57. served 58. eating
59. dropped
60. slowly 61. and
62. the 63. to lift
64. hunger 65. challenges
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一次黑暗中的晚餐,让作者通过切身困难体会到了盲人生活的艰辛。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最近,我在一家“黑暗餐厅”用餐,在那里人们在完全黑暗的环境中用餐,由盲人员工提供服务。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是a “dark restaurant”,指地点,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。本句已有谓语eat,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语。该动词与逻辑主语people构成被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词served作状语。故填served。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我想了解失明的感受,并且认为吃饭会是最难的活动。thought后接省略that的宾语从句,空处作宾语从句的主语,需用动名词形式。故填eating。
【59题详解】
考查时态。句意:因为我们看不到东西在哪里,我和我的朋友打翻了杯子,掉了食物。空处与前面knocked over并列作谓语动词。句子为一般过去时,所以空处用过去式。故填dropped。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:我的味觉和嗅觉变得更加敏感,我吃得更慢了。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词ate,slow的副词为slowly“慢慢地”。故填slowly。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:我伸手下去,以为是米饭和蔬菜,结果却把手伸进了一碗温热的浓汤里。此处连接两个并列名词rice和vegetables,表示“期待的是米饭和蔬菜”,需用并列连词and。故填and。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:即使使用勺子,大部分的汤还是洒在了我的衬衫上。此处soup是特指前文提到的“一碗温热浓稠的汤”,为特定对象,需用定冠词the表特指。故填the。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:服务员建议我们把盘子和碗举到脸附近。advise sb. to do sth.“建议某人做某事”,固定搭配,所以空处需用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to lift。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而,尽管我更加意识到盲人面临的挑战,但我还是带着饥饿感离开了餐厅。介词of后需接名词作宾语,hungry的名词为hunger“饥饿”,不可数名词。故填hunger。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:同上。challenge“挑战”为可数名词,由空后that blind people face可知,此处表示盲人面临的挑战不止一个,所以空处名词需用其复数形式。故填challenges。

67. 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。
“Don’t you need to make any plans for the physics assignment?” asked Leo on Monday morning, looking at her deskmate Luna.
“Not at all. I’ll complete it anyway,” Luna replied confidently. “I’m always lucky enough to hit the deadline.”
Luna’s procrastination (拖延)in studies oddly turned into something she felt proud of. No matter what the assignment was, she’d wait until the day before the deadline, usually midnight, to start to work on it. Each time, she stayed up late and rushed to hand it in just before the last minute of the deadline.
This time came the 10-page lab report with data analysis that needed to be submitted in print by 8:00 am next Monday. The new physics teacher was strict. He issued a warning in advance: If anyone failed to hand it in on time, he or she would have to retake the course. No exception.
“You can’t put it off until the midnight this time, Luna,” said Leo, who always made detailed plans for each assignment and finished it in advance. He told Luna to hand in the report earlier in case of accidents.
But Luna thought that was unnecessary, let alone making plans. “You’ve spent too much time on each assignment, which otherwise can be used for something more interesting,” Luna remarked with a quick look at Leo’s plans for the physics assignment.
Time flew by and Leo managed to hand in the report two days in advance. Leo kindly reminded Luna that the report was complex and that she had better start soon. But Luna refused to listen and spent the remaining days hanging out with her friends.
As the midnight before the deadline fell, Luna decided it was time for the physics assignment and finally took out her old laptop. As usual, she sat at her desk, determined to finish the report in one go and print it out in the early morning.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, this time, Luna ran out of her luck.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Luna gave her report to her teacher, he refused to take it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
However, this time, Luna ran out of her luck. At 3:00 am, just as she finished typing the final analysis, there was a power failure and the battery of her old laptop died soon. When everything returned to normal at 6:30 am, Luna was panicked to find she had forgotten to save the report. With shaking hands, she attempted to rewrite from memory, but the complex data analysis made it impossible to recreate the report in just ninety minutes. She finally put whatever she had together and printed that out at 10:00 am.
When Luna gave her report to her teacher, he refused to take it. Luna begged the teacher to let her pass, but “No exception” was the final reply. Luna had to retake the course. The consequences of her procrastination finally caught up with her. Leo, though feeling sorry for her, couldn’t help but pat her on the shoulder to comfort her. Humiliated and exhausted, Luna realized her overconfidence had cost her dearly. Looking at Leo, Luna apologized to him for making fun of his detailed plans. Leo smiled, “Now you want to try them?” Luna nodded firmly.
【解析】
【导语】本文以“拖延症的后果”为线索展开,讲述了习惯拖延的学生Luna因未及时完成物理作业而遭遇意外,最终吸取教训、改过自新的故事。
【详解】 1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然而这次,Luna没那么幸运。”可知,第一段可描写Luna在最后时刻赶作业时遭遇的意外状况:凌晨三点完成报告时突然停电、笔记本电脑电池耗尽、六点半恢复供电后发现未保存文档等具体困境。
②由第二段首句内容“当Luna把报告交给老师时,老师拒绝接收。”可知,第二段可描写老师坚持原则拒收迟交作业,Luna不得不重修课程,以及她最终认识到错误并向Leo道歉的转变过程。
2. 续写线索:拖延习惯——遭遇意外(停电、文件丢失)——错过截止时间——被拒收作业——深刻反省——行为转变
3.词汇激活
行为类
①开始:start/ begin/set out
②完成:finish/complete/accomplish
③尝试:attempt/ try
情绪类
①恐慌:panicked/ terrified/ horrified
②羞愧:humiliated/ ashamed/ embarrassed
【点睛】【高分句型1】When everything returned to normal at 6:30 am, Luna was panicked to find she had forgotten to save the report.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句和省略了that的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】Leo, though feeling sorry for her, couldn’t help but pat her on the shoulder to comfort her.(运用了状语从句的省略)
