Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 1. Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta? A. In the Ludlow Castle. B. In the Foodie Center of England. C. In the Hereford Cathedral. D. In the Black and White House Museum. 2. What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center? A. It’s situated near a big island. B. It’s almost surrounded by water. C. It’s known for its flower festival. D. It’s easily accessible from London. 3. What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey? A. Try the Cornish pie. B. Watch a British TV show. C. Go fishing in the sea. D. Take pictures of the harbor. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了英国值得一游的四个市场小镇及其特色和亮点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hereford, Herefordshire部分中“The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. (赫里福德大教堂是镇上最令人印象深刻的建筑。它还拥有一座古老的图书馆，《大宪章》的四份原始副本之一便陈列于此)”可知，在赫里福德大教堂可以找到《大宪章》的原始副本。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shrewsbury, Shropshire部分中“The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. (塞文河在流经小镇时出现一个明显的转弯，几乎将什鲁斯伯里镇中心变成一座孤岛。这种地形造就了一个绝佳的集市，在这里，人们可以借助这条河流作为运输通道来收发货物)”可知，什鲁斯伯里镇中心几乎被水包围。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mevagissey, Cornwall部分中“Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Comish pie. It’s delicious. (离开港口前一定要尝尝传统的康沃尔馅饼。它很美味)”可知，作者建议游客在梅瓦吉西一定要尝尝康沃尔馅饼。故选A项。 B How fast can someone climb 15 meters — the height of a five-floor building? The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds. The 23-year-old is the third person to have finished the speed climbing route (竞速攀岩路线) in less than 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo. People call Cao “the fastest man” in China or “Chinese Spider-Man”. According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every time because it’s a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It’s also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be perfect. But this pressure is part of the reason why Cao loves the sport. “The pressure of competing side by side with another climber really excites me,” he said. “And I do enjoy the feeling when the result of a climb is more than my personal best.” Cao tried climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids who first get into climbing, Cao was mainly doing bouldering (抱石攀岩) and lead climbing (先锋攀岩) and was doing very well. However, he got wounded and had an operation at the age of 18. He then decided to try speed climbing because it uses different skills from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his body. It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. He understands how to use his body to win. “I know how to better distribute (分配) power to different parts of my body,” Cao said. In his eyes, the national record of 4.98 seconds has become thing of the past. “I’ll keep trying to do better and improve myself,” said Cao. 4. How does the writer start this story? A. By giving an example. B. By describing views. C. By asking a question. D. By giving a suggestion. 5. From the first two paragraphs we can learn ________. A. many people in China like watching the three kinds of climbing B. Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo are from different countries C. Speed climbing is challenging. D. more than three climbers finished the fifteen-meter speed climbing route in 5 seconds. 6. The result of speed climbing changes every time. Which of the following isn’t the reason? A. Everyone can succeed easily. B. It is a sport that finishes in seconds. C. It’s a highly stressful race. D. Two climbers compete at the same time. 7. What’s Cao Long’s winning secret? A. He thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. B. He did bouldering and lead climbing very well. C. He tried climbing earlier than the other children. D. He understands how to use his body better to win. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍中国速攀运动员曹龙4.98秒攀登15米的成就、速攀运动特点、他转行速攀的原因及进取态度，展现其运动风采。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“How fast can someone climb 15 meters — the height of a five-floor building? The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds.(一个人能以多快的速度爬上15米——相当于一栋五层楼的高度？中国速攀运动员曹龙给出的答案是4.98秒。)”可知，作者以提出问题的方式开篇，自然引出曹龙的速攀成绩，开启全文。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every time because it’s a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It’s also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be perfect.(据曹龙说，速攀的结果每次都可能改变，因为这是一场压力极大的比赛，两名攀岩者同时竞争。这也是一项在几秒钟内就能完成的运动。如果你想成功，一切都必须完美。)”可知，速攀比赛压力大、节奏快且对表现要求极高，由此可推知这项运动具有挑战性。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every time because it’s a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It’s also a sport that finishes in seconds.(据曹龙说，速攀的结果每次都可能改变，因为这是一场压力极大的比赛，两名攀岩者同时竞争。这也是一项在几秒钟内就能完成的运动。)”可知，速攀结果多变的原因包括比赛压力大、双人同时竞争、耗时短，“每个人都能轻易成功”并非其原因。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. He understands how to use his body to win. “I know how to better distribute power to different parts of my body,” Cao said.(事实证明，曹龙也很擅长速攀，尽管他认为自己几乎不是最强壮的运动员。他知道如何运用自己的身体去赢得比赛。“我知道如何更好地将力量分配到身体的不同部位，”曹龙说。)”可知，曹龙的获胜秘诀是懂得如何更好地运用身体、合理分配力量。故选D项。 C Going to the gym can take time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely tiresome. Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps (组和次). In order to see any significant change from any exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, fora minimum of three sets, for about three months. For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill (跑步机). But what if there were a way to relieve the tedium of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality. Many VR games are played while standing. In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it’s not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. There are already a number of virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player ‘getting a good sweat on’ if played for enough time. For example, there’s a first person shooter which forces the player to sidestep, duck and other sport actions. That’s cardio (有氧运动). Or there’s a music game which forces players to shadowbox in order to hit the notes—that’s an upper-body workout. The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by one company. They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. So don’t hang up your gym shorts just yet. Although it’s early days, for those of us who struggle to keep passionate about exercise, anew solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not. 8. In paragraph l, the author mainly conveys that going to the gym__________. A. cannot avoid being hurt B. is hard to hold on C. makes sense in a short time D. means three months of exercise 9. What does the underlined word “tedium” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Boredom. B. Tiredness. C. Expense. D. Inconvenience. 10. What can be concluded about the 30-minute VR full-body workout? A. Several security problems have been solved. B. The relevant equipment has complex designs. C. It has turned out to be very effective and popular. D. It may be unavailable due to some disadvantages. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards virtual exercise in the future? A. Indifferent. B. Positive. C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了去健身房锻炼的枯燥和劳累，提出了虚拟现实VR游戏作为一种新颖的锻炼方式，可以边玩边健身。通过站立操作和身体活动，一些VR游戏能让玩家在不知觉中提升体能。一家公司看到了VR的健身潜力，正在开发结合VR头盔的健身器材。虽然目前设备成本高且存在安全隐患，但对于那些难以保持锻炼热情的人来说，VR健身提供了一个新的选择。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Going to the gym can take time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely tiresome. Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps (组和次). In order to see any significant change from any exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, fora minimum of three sets, for about three months. For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill (跑步机).”（去健身房需要时间和精力，经常会受伤，而且会非常令人厌倦。大多数与重量相关的练习都是一组一次的组合。为了看到任何锻炼的显著变化，它可能需要重复六到八次，至少三组，持续大约三个月。对一些人来说，没有什么比在跑步机上无休止地跑步更无聊的了。）可推知，在第一段中，作者主要表达了去健身房很难坚持下去。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill .”（对一些人来说，没有什么比在跑步机上无休止地跑步更无聊的了。）提到健身房跑步的无聊，以及划线单词句中“…while still getting a good workout?”（同时又能得到良好的锻炼呢？）和下一句“Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality.”（幸运的是，我们有了虚拟现实。）由此可知，此处为有一种方法可以缓解运动的枯燥感。故可此处划线单词tedium为“枯燥，无聊”的意思，结合选项A项Boredom“无聊”意思一致。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. So don’t hang up your gym shorts just yet.”（玩家在一系列游戏中挑战一个虚拟对手，结果是30分钟的全身锻炼。然而，设备成本昂贵，还有安全问题需要解决。所以先别挂起你的运动短裤。）可推知，由于某些不利因素，30分钟的VR全身锻炼可能无法进行。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although it’s early days, for those of us who struggle to keep passionate about exercise, anew solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not.”（虽然现在还为时尚早，但对于我们这些努力保持锻炼热情的人来说，新的解决方案可能会出现。一个人可以同时锻炼和娱乐的世界可能是许多人想要的——不管是不是虚拟的。）可推知，作者对未来虚拟锻炼的态度是积极乐观的。故选B项。 D Middle school student Joaquin invented a car seat alarm system to remind parents that their child is in the backseat. He did so after reading a shocking story of a father whose baby died of heat stroke after accidentally being left in a hot car. Joaquin felt something had to be done to prevent this. The following is what he told a reporter. A closed car increased the surrounding temperature, leading to a sharper increase in temperature when parked in the sun and children overheat several times faster than adults. Of the 360 deaths caused by heat stroke in cars in America in the last decade, most were caused when a child was forgotten inside a car. This was why I designed an alarm to warn drivers of the case. To detect when a baby was in a car seat, I tried working with a weight sensor, but it produced too many false signs. After more research, I used a magnetic sensor, which could be activated when the seat belt was closed. If a driver locked the car with the baby in, the car alarm system would start sounding, and the car would not lock. I have participated in several science fair competitions. STEM is the main source of knowledge for every field in the world and it needn’t be a complicated subject at school. This is what first interested me, which changed the way I saw the world. Broadcom MASTERS has encouraged me to pursue STEM. When I was presenting my project at Texas Science Fair 2017, the judges came by and I felt I failed. Then I saw four families crowding around my board — I was shocked. They wanted me to present my project to them because they knew about it from the news. They asked me to talk to their kids to inspire them. My advice is: Work hard, and do what you enjoy. Instead of always watching TV, think how you can create something you’re interested in. 12. What led to Joaquin inventing a car seat alarm system? A. A baby’s death in a car. B. Many children being left in cars. C. The 360 deaths by heat stroke in cars. D. Parents’ failure to look after their children. 13. What is the advantage of a magnetic sensor? A. It is easier to operate. B. It is activated more easily. C. It can give warns correctly. D. It can sound to warn parents. 14. What can be inferred about Joaquin? A. He began to pursue STEM last year. B. He was interested in science at school. C. He won several awards at science fairs. D. He found science complicated at school. 15. Why did four families take their kids to Joaquin’s project? A. To reduce their kids’ TV time. B. To get an award from Joaquin. C. To get encouragement from Joaquin. D. To ask Joaquin to teach their kids. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。中学生Joaquin发明了一个汽车座椅报警系统，提醒父母他们的孩子在后座上，讲述了他的灵感来源以及设备的工作方式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He did so after reading a shocking story of a father whose baby died of heat stroke after accidentally being left in a hot car.(他之所以这么做，是因为他读到了一则令人震惊的报道：一位父亲的孩子被意外地留在了高温的汽车里，结果中暑身亡)”可知，Joaquin发明汽车座椅报警系统是因为一个婴儿死在车里。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To detect when a baby was in a car seat, I tried working with a weight sensor, but it produced too many false signs. After more research, I used a magnetic sensor, which could be activated when the seat belt was closed.(为了检测婴儿何时坐在汽车座椅上，我尝试使用体重传感器，但它产生了太多的错误信号。经过更多的研究，我使用了一个磁性传感器，它可以在安全带关闭时被激活)”可知，磁传感器的优点是能正确地发出警告。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I have participated in several science fair competitions. STEM is the main source of knowledge for every field in the world and it needn’t be a complicated subject at school. This is what first interested me, which changed the way I saw the world.(我参加过几次科学博览会比赛。STEM是世界上每个领域知识的主要来源，在学校里它不需要是一个复杂的学科。这是我最初感兴趣的东西，它改变了我看待世界的方式)”可知，Joaquin在学校时对科学感兴趣。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“They asked me to talk to their kids to inspire them.(他们让我和他们的孩子谈谈，激励他们)”可知，有四个家庭带他们的孩子去参加Joaquin的项目是为了得到Joaquin的鼓励。故选C。 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。 The smell of campfires attract many people into the woods and mountains for camping trips.

He proudly received the trophy and the prize money. Jim’s mother came up to Tim and praised him for his hard work. She smiled and said, “Your hard work finally paid off!” “Thanks, Miss!” Tim replied with a big smile and walked happily away with his trophy. Jim hung his head in shame and almost cried. His mother turned to him and said, “Look Jim, talent without hard work is simply useless. That boy worked very hard and finally was successful.

Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 1. Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta? A. In the Ludlow Castle. B. In the Foodie Center of England. C. In the Hereford Cathedral. D. In the Black and White House Museum. 2. What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center? A. It’s situated near a big island. B. It’s almost surrounded by water. C. It’s known for its flower festival. D. It’s easily accessible from London. 3. What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey? A. Try the Cornish pie. B. Watch a British TV show. C. Go fishing in the sea. D. Take pictures of the harbor. B How fast can someone climb 15 meters — the height of a five-floor building? The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds. The 23-year-old is the third person to have finished the speed climbing route (竞速攀岩路线) in less than 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo. People call Cao “the fastest man” in China or “Chinese Spider-Man”. According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every time because it’s a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It’s also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be perfect. But this pressure is part of the reason why Cao loves the sport. “The pressure of competing side by side with another climber really excites me,” he said. “And I do enjoy the feeling when the result of a climb is more than my personal best.” Cao tried climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids who first get into climbing, Cao was mainly doing bouldering (抱石攀岩) and lead climbing (先锋攀岩) and was doing very well. However, he got wounded and had an operation at the age of 18. He then decided to try speed climbing because it uses different skills from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his body. It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. He understands how to use his body to win. “I know how to better distribute (分配) power to different parts of my body,” Cao said. In his eyes, the national record of 4.98 seconds has become thing of the past. “I’ll keep trying to do better and improve myself,” said Cao. 4. How does the writer start this story? A. By giving an example. B. By describing views. C. By asking a question. D. By giving a suggestion. 5. From the first two paragraphs we can learn ________. A. many people in China like watching the three kinds of climbing B. Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo are from different countries C. Speed climbing is challenging. D. more than three climbers finished the fifteen-meter speed climbing route in 5 seconds. 6. The result of speed climbing changes every time. Which of the following isn’t the reason? A. Everyone can succeed easily. B. It is a sport that finishes in seconds. C. It’s a highly stressful race. D. Two climbers compete at the same time. 7. What’s Cao Long’s winning secret? A. He thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. B. He did bouldering and lead climbing very well. C. He tried climbing earlier than the other children. D. He understands how to use his body better to win. C Going to the gym can take time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely tiresome. Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps (组和次). In order to see any significant change from any exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, fora minimum of three sets, for about three months. For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill (跑步机). But what if there were a way to relieve the tedium of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality. Many VR games are played while standing. In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it’s not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. There are already a number of virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player ‘getting a good sweat on’ if played for enough time. For example, there’s a first person shooter which forces the player to sidestep, duck and other sport actions. That’s cardio (有氧运动). Or there’s a music game which forces players to shadowbox in order to hit the notes—that’s an upper-body workout. The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by one company. They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. So don’t hang up your gym shorts just yet. Although it’s early days, for those of us who struggle to keep passionate about exercise, anew solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not. 8. In paragraph l, the author mainly conveys that going to the gym__________. A. cannot avoid being hurt B. is hard to hold on C. makes sense in a short time D. means three months of exercise 9. What does the underlined word “tedium” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Boredom. B. Tiredness. C. Expense. D. Inconvenience. 10. What can be concluded about the 30-minute VR full-body workout? A. Several security problems have been solved. B. The relevant equipment has complex designs. C. It has turned out to be very effective and popular. D. It may be unavailable due to some disadvantages. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards virtual exercise in the future? A. Indifferent. B. Positive. C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful. D Middle school student Joaquin invented a car seat alarm system to remind parents that their child is in the backseat. He did so after reading a shocking story of a father whose baby died of heat stroke after accidentally being left in a hot car. Joaquin felt something had to be done to prevent this. The following is what he told a reporter. A closed car increased the surrounding temperature, leading to a sharper increase in temperature when parked in the sun and children overheat several times faster than adults. Of the 360 deaths caused by heat stroke in cars in America in the last decade, most were caused when a child was forgotten inside a car. This was why I designed an alarm to warn drivers of the case. To detect when a baby was in a car seat, I tried working with a weight sensor, but it produced too many false signs. After more research, I used a magnetic sensor, which could be activated when the seat belt was closed. If a driver locked the car with the baby in, the car alarm system would start sounding, and the car would not lock. I have participated in several science fair competitions. STEM is the main source of knowledge for every field in the world and it needn’t be a complicated subject at school. This is what first interested me, which changed the way I saw the world. Broadcom MASTERS has encouraged me to pursue STEM. When I was presenting my project at Texas Science Fair 2017, the judges came by and I felt I failed.
