Situated in southwestern Alberta, it is Canada’s oldest national park as well as one of its most beautiful parks.

Make sure to take a scenic drive along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, or even better, join Red Bus Tours to see all the sights.
Yellowstone National Park
This protected area in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho is America’s first national park, but it is still very beautiful. Mammoth Hot Springs and Old Faithful continue to amaze visitors every year. Less crowded places like Hayden Valley, which is great for seeing wildlife, and Yellowstone Lake, which is perfect for kayaking (独木舟) or canoeing, are also worth visiting.
Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park is about 170 miles east of San Francisco. It has many amazing natural sights to see. Famous spots include Tunnel View Valley View, Half Dome, and El Capitan. The park also has many waterfalls and over 750 miles of trails for hiking.

Two years ago, my son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time,” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a change in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to John’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions were within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
He has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming. I see our time together reducing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an equally unknowing audience. The parent- child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed (颠倒). He’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice.
My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone not much of a reader, he now searches instruction booklets. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called — yes, made an actual phone call — to customer service or tech support when products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with, and enjoy time with my teen.
4. What did the author think of her son’s advice?
A. Worthless. B. Incomplete. C. Funny. D. Practical.
5. What does the author say about her son in Paragraph 3?
A. He is skilled at technology. B. He leads a very busy life.
C. He tries to make peace with her. D. He helps with housework.
6. Why did the author accept writing technology review s eagerly?
A. To make more money to support the family. B. To keep a close relationship with her son.
C. To learn more about modern technology. D. To get some products for free.
7. What made the author feel honored?
A. Her son’s patience to explain technical things. B. Her son’s control of the parent-child dynamic.
C. Her son’s careful attitude towards the reviews. D. Her son’s rich knowledge of technical terms.
C
Robots have learned to drive on Mars, carry out brain operation and defeat master chess players. But when it comes to baking, making tasty desserts is far from a piece of cake. After many failed attempts, US researchers have successfully 3D printed a cherry cheesecake, although the outcome is unlikely to trouble the world’s dessert masters.
In the latest experiment, researchers tried various cheesecake designs. In early attempts, which involved simply adding ingredients one by one, the team found that the cake quickly turned into a mixture. Through trial and error, they discovered that a more architectural solution was needed. Walls of biscuit base were required throughout the cake to hold the softer ingredients, while triangular (三角的) biscuit supports on the inside were necessary to keep the cake from falling apart. “To print the cake successfully, we need to put the ingredients together in a careful way,” said the team leader Cooper.
Although much work is still needed to collect data and improve the designs, scientists are hopeful that once mastered, 3D printing could replace traditional cooking, allowing food to be adapted to different nutritional(营养)needs. “We have a huge problem with the low nutrition of processed foods,” said Cooper. “3D food printing will still produce processed foods, but perhaps the silver lining will be, for some people, a better control of nutrition based on personalized needs.”
The team said 3D printing could also allow chefs to create entirely new food experiences, with flavours and textures (质地) placed very precisely. “It is particularly practical for the plant-based meat market, where texture and flavour need to be carefully designed to taste like real meats,” said Cooper. And, with more concern about food safety, food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of food-related illness and the spread of disease. According to Cooper, this seems like a win-win solution for all of us.
8. Why does the author mention robots in paragraph 1?
A. To show the disadvantages of 3D printing.
B. To introduce the popularity of using robots.
C. To stress the difficulty of 3D printing desserts.
D. To explain the function of robots in different areas.
9. What is the key to the success of the 3D printed cheesecake?
A. The thickness of biscuit walls. B. The flexibility of inside support.
C. The unique taste of ingredients. D. The structural design of the cake.
10. What do the underlined words “the silver lining” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. The side effect. B. The main reason.
C. The positive aspect. D. The best solution.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning 3D printed food?
A. Promising markets. B. Additional benefits.
C. Practical concerns. D. Technical challenges.
D
After the Second World War, Europe’s rapid economic growth led to a more open and fair society, with fewer class barriers (阶级壁垒) and less obvious class differences.
Changes in the structure (结构) of the middle class were particularly influential. In the1800s and early 1900s, the middle class was made up of business owners or professionals like lawyers and doctors. Ownership of property (财产) and strong family ties had often been the keys to wealth and standing within the middle class. But after 1945, things changed in Western Europe. A new breed of managers and experts serving the needs of big organizations took the place of traditional property owners as the leaders of the middle class. At the same time, the middle class grew massively and became harder to define.
There were several reasons for these developments. The growth of industry and technology required more managers and technologists. Moreover, the old middle class lost control of family businesses, and many small businesses closed as their former owners became salaried workers. Top managers and ranking civil servants, often trained in engineering or accounting, formed a new middle class of specialists from various social backgrounds. Thus the new middle class, which was based largely on specialized skills and high levels of education, was more open, democratic, and less secure than the old middle class.
The rising standard of living and the spread of standardized consumer goods also worked to level European society, as the percent of income spent on food and drink declined substantially and people began to purchase a wider range of goods beyond just food and drinks. For example, the European car industry experienced significant growth after lagging far behind the United States since the 1920s. In 1948 there were only 5 million cars in Western Europe, but in 1965 there were 44 million. Like Americans, Europeans bought household goods like washing machines and TVs using credit, which was made easier by installment purchasing. This, along with better social security, made them more willing to take on debt.
12. What mainly decided middle-class membership in the 1800s and early 1900s?
A. Strong family connections.
B. Expertise in managing property.
C. Working in a large organizations.
D. Support from the medical community.
13. What do we know about the new middle-class members?
A. They are more open-minded.
B. They grow up in wealthy families.
C. They work in family-owned businesses.
D. They share the same social background.
14. Why does the author mention the rise in car numbers from 1948 to 1965?
A. To express his preference for cars made in Europe.
B. To state the economic and social changes after WWⅡ.
C. To compare Europe’s progress in economy with the U. S.
D. To show his pride in the rise of car sales in Western Europe.
15. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Suggestions for buying goods on credit.
B. The author’s views on European society.
C. The rapid development of European society.
D. Changes in European society after the war.

47. 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。
Ollie Simmons was good at maths, but Ruby Riley wasn’t. Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all.
One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you?” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me?” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart.
Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box!
One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she said, “Come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage — there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2: Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby.

Two years ago, my son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time,” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a change in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to John’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions were within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
He has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming. I see our time together reducing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an equally unknowing audience. The parent- child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed (颠倒). He’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice.
My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone not much of a reader, he now searches instruction booklets. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called — yes, made an actual phone call — to customer service or tech support when products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with, and enjoy time with my teen.
4. What did the author think of her son’s advice?
A. Worthless. B. Incomplete. C. Funny. D. Practical.
5. What does the author say about her son in Paragraph 3?
A. He is skilled at technology. B. He leads a very busy life.
C. He tries to make peace with her. D. He helps with housework.
6. Why did the author accept writing technology review s eagerly?
A. To make more money to support the family. B. To keep a close relationship with her son.
C. To learn more about modern technology. D. To get some products for free.
7. What made the author feel honored?
A. Her son’s patience to explain technical things. B. Her son’s control of the parent-child dynamic.
C. Her son’s careful attitude towards the reviews. D. Her son’s rich knowledge of technical terms.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C

Robots have learned to drive on Mars, carry out brain operation and defeat master chess players. But when it comes to baking, making tasty desserts is far from a piece of cake. After many failed attempts, US researchers have successfully 3D printed a cherry cheesecake, although the outcome is unlikely to trouble the world’s dessert masters.
In the latest experiment, researchers tried various cheesecake designs. In early attempts, which involved simply adding ingredients one by one, the team found that the cake quickly turned into a mixture. Through trial and error, they discovered that a more architectural solution was needed. Walls of biscuit base were required throughout the cake to hold the softer ingredients, while triangular (三角的) biscuit supports on the inside were necessary to keep the cake from falling apart. “To print the cake successfully, we need to put the ingredients together in a careful way,” said the team leader Cooper.
Although much work is still needed to collect data and improve the designs, scientists are hopeful that once mastered, 3D printing could replace traditional cooking, allowing food to be adapted to different nutritional(营养)needs. “We have a huge problem with the low nutrition of processed foods,” said Cooper. “3D food printing will still produce processed foods, but perhaps the silver lining will be, for some people, a better control of nutrition based on personalized needs.”
The team said 3D printing could also allow chefs to create entirely new food experiences, with flavours and textures (质地) placed very precisely. “It is particularly practical for the plant-based meat market, where texture and flavour need to be carefully designed to taste like real meats,” said Cooper. And, with more concern about food safety, food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of food-related illness and the spread of disease. According to Cooper, this seems like a win-win solution for all of us.
8. Why does the author mention robots in paragraph 1?
A. To show the disadvantages of 3D printing.
B. To introduce the popularity of using robots.
C To stress the difficulty of 3D printing desserts.
D. To explain the function of robots in different areas.
9. What is the key to the success of the 3D printed cheesecake?
A. The thickness of biscuit walls. B. The flexibility of inside support.
C. The unique taste of ingredients. D. The structural design of the cake.
10. What do the underlined words “the silver lining” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. The side effect. B. The main reason.
C. The positive aspect. D. The best solution.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning 3D printed food?
A. Promising markets. B. Additional benefits.
C. Practical concerns. D. Technical challenges.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B

After the Second World War, Europe’s rapid economic growth led to a more open and fair society, with fewer class barriers (阶级壁垒) and less obvious class differences.
Changes in the structure (结构) of the middle class were particularly influential. In the1800s and early 1900s, the middle class was made up of business owners or professionals like lawyers and doctors. Ownership of property (财产) and strong family ties had often been the keys to wealth and standing within the middle class. But after 1945, things changed in Western Europe. A new breed of managers and experts serving the needs of big organizations took the place of traditional property owners as the leaders of the middle class. At the same time, the middle class grew massively and became harder to define.
There were several reasons for these developments. The growth of industry and technology required more managers and technologists. Moreover, the old middle class lost control of family businesses, and many small businesses closed as their former owners became salaried workers. Top managers and ranking civil servants, often trained in engineering or accounting, formed a new middle class of specialists from various social backgrounds. Thus the new middle class, which was based largely on specialized skills and high levels of education, was more open, democratic, and less secure than the old middle class.
The rising standard of living and the spread of standardized consumer goods also worked to level European society, as the percent of income spent on food and drink declined substantially and people began to purchase a wider range of goods beyond just food and drinks. For example, the European car industry experienced significant growth after lagging far behind the United States since the 1920s. In 1948 there were only 5 million cars in Western Europe, but in 1965 there were 44 million. Like Americans, Europeans bought household goods like washing machines and TVs using credit, which was made easier by installment purchasing. This, along with better social security, made them more willing to take on debt.
12. What mainly decided middle-class membership in the 1800s and early 1900s?
A. Strong family connections.
B. Expertise in managing property.
C. Working in a large organizations.
D. Support from the medical community.
13 What do we know about the new middle-class members?
A. They are more open-minded.
B. They grow up in wealthy families.
C. They work in family-owned businesses.
D. They share the same social background.
14. Why does the author mention the rise in car numbers from 1948 to 1965?
A. To express his preference for cars made in Europe.
B. To state the economic and social changes after WWⅡ.
C. To compare Europe’s progress in economy with the U. S.
D. To show his pride in the rise of car sales in Western Europe.
15. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Suggestions for buying goods on credit.
B. The author’s views on European society.
C. The rapid development of European society.
D. Changes in European society after the war.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是欧洲社会在二战后的变化。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the1800s and early 1900s, the middle class was made up of business owners or professionals like lawyers and doctors. Ownership of property (财产) and strong family ties had often been the keys to wealth and standing within the middle class.(在19世纪和20世纪初,中产阶级由企业主或律师、医生等专业人士组成。拥有财产和牢固的家庭关系往往是财富和中产阶级地位的关键)”可知,在19世纪和20世纪初,牢固的家庭关系往往是财富和跻身中产阶级的关键。故选A项。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“The rising standard of living and the spread of standardized consumer goods also worked to level European society, as the percent of income spent on food and drink declined substantially and people began to purchase a wider range of goods beyond just food and drinks. (生活水平的提高和标准化消费品的普及也使欧洲社会趋于平等,因为花在食品和饮料上的收入比例大幅下降,人们开始购买更广泛的商品,而不仅仅是食品和饮料)”可知,战后欧洲的生活水平的提高以及标准化消费品的普及使得社会趋于平等,人们开始购买更广泛的商品,进而在下文中的“For example, the European car industry experienced significant growth after lagging far behind the United States since the 1920s. In 1948 there were only 5 million cars in Western Europe, but in 1965 there were 44 million. (例如,自20世纪20年代以来,欧洲汽车工业在远远落后于美国之后,经历了显著的增长。1948年,西欧只有500万辆汽车,但1965年有4400万辆)”中的例子中提到汽车数量的增长。由此推知,此车数量的增长例子作为数据支撑,为了体现战后欧洲经济和社会的巨大变化。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了四川宜宾蜀南竹海成为热门景点的原因、特色及竹子对当地人的重要性。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:四川宜宾的蜀南竹海是一片天然森林,自从一部著名武侠电影在那里取景以来,它就成了热门旅游景点。根据时间状语“since scenes from a famous martial arts movie were shot there”可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语“The Shunan Bamboo Sea”是第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has been。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:这片120平方公里的森林是中国最大的古老竹园,即使在冬季,当全国许多地方都被冰雪覆盖时,它的平均气温也很少低于0℃。修饰名词temperature应用形容词性物主代词its,表示“它的”。故填its。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:这片120平方公里的森林是中国最大的古老竹园,即使在冬季,当全国许多地方都被冰雪覆盖时,它的平均气温也很少低于0℃。be covered with/by为固定短语,意为“被……覆盖”。故填with/by。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:竹海被誉为中国最美丽的森林之一,覆盖着500多座山丘。句子谓语动词是covers,空格处是非谓语动词,know与其逻辑主语the Bamboo Sea之间是被动关系,be known as为固定短语,意为“被誉为”,此处省略be动词,用过去分词短语作状语,句首首字母需大写。故填Known。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:该地区年平均气温约为16℃。此处特指上文提到的蜀南竹海这个地区,应用定冠词the,句首首字母需大写。故填The。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:虽然在竹海徒步旅行对游客来说很累,但有时,由于宁静和美丽,他们会感到更轻松。根据句意可知,“it is tiring for visitors to hike in the Bamboo Sea”和“they can feel more light-hearted”之间存在转折关系,应用连词though/although/while引导让步状语从句,句首首字母需大写。故填Though/Although/While。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然在竹海徒步旅行对游客来说很累,但有时,由于宁静和美丽,他们会感到更轻松。根据“and beauty”可知,空处应用名词calmness“宁静”,与beauty并列作宾语。故填calmness。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:在古代,竹子对当地人极为重要。修饰形容词“important”应用副词extremely,表示“极其,非常”。故填extremely。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它仍然被用来建造房屋、制作工具和乐器。be used to do sth.为固定短语,意为“被用来做某事”,所以空处应用动词不定式。故填to build。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:游客到竹海必去的地方是博物馆,在那里他们可以更深入地了解这个令人惊叹的地方。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词the museum,指地点,且在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。

I suggest you calm down first and listen to their opinions patiently, which can help you understand their care. You should also express your feelings honestly and politely instead of arguing. Additionally, try to find common interests to narrow the gap between you.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Ollie Simmons was good at maths, but Ruby Riley wasn’t. Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all.
One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you?” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me?” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart.
Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box!
One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she said, “Come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage — there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2: Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1: Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. She found Ollie after class and said softly, “I’m sorry I made you teach me. If I hadn’t copied your answers, none of this would have happened.” Ollie smiled gently and replied, “It’s my fault too. I shouldn’t have agreed to let you copy.” They decided to make the most of the lunchtime lessons. Ruby told Ollie that she really wanted to learn maths well instead of relying on others, which made Ollie feel happy.
Paragraph 2: Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. He explained difficult problems with simple examples that Ruby could easily understand. Whenever Ruby got stuck, Ollie would ask her questions to guide her to think by herself instead of giving answers directly. After five weeks of hard work, Ruby took a maths test. She was nervous but confident because she had mastered the knowledge. When the results came out, Ruby got a high mark on her own. She realized that the joy of learning comes from one’s own efforts, and this was a lesson that she would never forget.
