B篇
When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
41. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed.
C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats.
42. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?
A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
43. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids.
C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes.
44. Why does Markey emphasize that “feeding is a long game”?
A. Kids need time to develop healthy eating habits independently.
B. Parents should spend long hours preparing healthy food.
C. It takes years to correct kids’ bad eating behaviors.
D. The effect of food choices on health is not immediate.
45. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?
A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory.
C篇
As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
46. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
47. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
48. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
49. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.
50. What is an example of breaking stereotypes through anthropomorphized products?
A. A genderless voice assistant with a neutral name.
B. A male robot designed for nursing work.
C. A female self-driving car named Miuu.
D. A digital assistant with traditional female traits.
D篇
While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it’s time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
51. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
52. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
53. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks.
54. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why the Rush? B. What’s Next? C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame?
55. What does the author imply about the high rate of car ownership in Australia?
A. It has reduced the cost of road construction.
B. It reflects the success of road network expansion.
C. It has worsened the problem of pedestrian mobility.
D. It meets the growing travel needs of local families.

四、阅读表达(本大题共5小题,每题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题
Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product — CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

【点睛】注意but for引导的句子或短语有时相当于一个虚拟条件句,假设的情况并不以条件从句显示出来,而是暗含下上下文中,通过介词短语来表示,要使用虚拟语气,其主要形式为:表示对现在情况的虚拟:would+do,如,But for his pension,he would starve.要不是有养老金,他早就挨饿了;对过去情况的虚拟:would+have done,如,But for your help, we wouldn’t have succeeded.要是没有你的帮助,我们是不会成功的。
12. Bob was trying to ________ that he knew the famous singer who would perform in our city.

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。A. concentrates集中;B. accumulates累积;C. circulates传播、循环;D. accelerates加速。句意:——Smith医生,你能告诉我一些有关这种病毒的情况么?——当然,它通过血液循环,从而导致各种器官的不健康。根据句意可知,此处是说病毒通过血液循环,故C项正确。
14. Walter offered us a lift when he was leaving the office, but our work ______, we refused his offer.
A. not finished B. had not been finished
C. not finishing D. not having finished
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意:当Walter离开办公室的时候,主动让我们搭便车,但是因为工作没有完成,我们拒绝了他的帮助。连词but引导两个并列句中Walter offered us a lift when he was leaving the office 和we refused his offer. 说明“our work __”不能是完整的句子;名词短语our work与动词finish构成被动关系,而CD两项都表示主动。B项与our work构成了一个完整的句子our work had not been finished,不符合本句的句子结构。只能使用独立主格结构our work not finished。故A项正确。
15. Though our football boys are faced with four goals behind, they are still struggling hard in the field to ______.

【详解】考查习语。A. face the music 勇敢地面对困难;B. save face挽回颜面、保住面子;C. cost their arm and leg除服巨大代价;D. land on their feet胸有成竹。句意:我们的足球队落后四个球,但队员们仍在球场上努力挽回面子。根据“four goals behind”及“still struggling hard”判断此处表示“挽回颜面”,故B项正确。
【点睛】习语是江苏单选的必考知识点,也是难度较大的一种题型,准确理解每个习语的意思是关键,例如本题四个习语的意思分别为:A. face the music 勇敢地面对困难;B. save face挽回颜面、保住面子;C. cost their arm and leg除服巨大代价;D. land on their feet胸有成竹。根据“four goals behind”及“still struggling hard”判断此处表示“挽回颜面”。

B篇
When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
41. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed.
C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats.
42. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?
A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
43. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids.
C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes.
44. Why does Markey emphasize that “feeding is a long game”?
A. Kids need time to develop healthy eating habits independently.
B. Parents should spend long hours preparing healthy food.
C. It takes years to correct kids’ bad eating behaviors.
D. The effect of food choices on health is not immediate.
45. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?
A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory.
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. A 44. A 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了父母在孩子饮食方面的教育方式,以及如何通过“责任划分”原则来培养孩子健康的饮食习惯。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome.(当我还是个孩子的时候,我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我整个童年时期不断重复。这件事严重破坏了我与食物之间的关系,而这种负面影响,我花了好几年才得以克服。)”可知,童年时被反复告知不该吃什么的经历破坏了作者与食物的关系,这段糟糕的经历让她在养育自己孩子时格外注意方式。由此可推断,作者对她小时候的喂养方式持批评态度。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”(心理学教授Charlotte Markey表示,饮食是为数不多的、父母宜“少说为妙”的话题之一。她指出:“育儿过程中,有很多事都适合和孩子好好沟通,但我认为饮食不在此列。”“对饮食问题过多说教,只会给孩子带来不必要的忧虑和不安,不利于他们的身心健康。”)”可知,Markey认为父母不应该过多地和孩子谈论食物,因为这可能会给孩子带来不必要的担忧和不安。由此可推断,她会反对向孩子们解释吃零食的风险。故选C。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.(相反,她建议在营养专家中应用一个众所周知的概念,即“责任划分”,即父母在固定的时间给孩子们提供各种大多健康的食物,而孩子们自己决定他们想吃什么和吃多少——即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多。)”可知,根据“责任划分”原则,孩子们应该自己决定吃什么和吃多少。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”(“喂养是一场长期的游戏,”Markey说。“你提供的食物有很大的影响。即使他们不吃,他们也会看到。然后突然间,他们就明白了。”)”可知,Markey强调“喂养是一场长期的游戏”,是因为食物选择对健康的影响不是立竿见影的,孩子们需要时间来独立形成健康的饮食习惯。故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions.(我一直在尝试这些策略,我发现当我限制较少时,他们确实会做出更好的决定。)”可知,作者认为她一直在遵循的策略是可行的。故选C。
C篇
As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
46. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
47. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
48. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
49. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.
50. What is an example of breaking stereotypes through anthropomorphized products?
A. A genderless voice assistant with a neutral name.
B. A male robot designed for nursing work.
C. A female self-driving car named Miuu.
D. A digital assistant with traditional female traits.
【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 49. B 50. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了斯坦福大学组织行为学副教授阿什利·马丁的相关研究。研究探讨了让科技产品无性别化的初衷、性别设定对用户的影响、无性别化产品研发的困难,以及通过拟人化产品打破刻板印象的可能性,呈现了科技产品性别设定与刻板印象之间的复杂关联。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“‘People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,’ says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. (斯坦福大学组织行为学副教授Ashley Martin说,‘人们以非常传统的方式对他们的性别对象形成刻板印象。将性别从画面中完全移除似乎是解决这个问题的一个简单方法。’)”可知,让新技术无性别化的目的是减少刻板印象。故选A。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as ‘Miuu.’ (在她的研究中,Martin让参与者对数字语音助手和名为‘Miuu’的自动驾驶汽车的男性版、女性版和无性别版的依恋程度进行评分。)”可知,参与者可能需要填写调查问卷来反馈对不同版本产品的评价。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a ‘he’ or ‘she.’ (Martin的研究还发现,打造无性别化物品并非易事。例如,即使一个物品的名字刻意设计得无性别倾向,比如‘Miuu’,参与者仍会给它赋予性别属性——他们会认为‘Miuu’是‘他’或‘她’。)”可知,无性别化产品难以研发是因为性别观念已根植于人们的思想中,人们会不自觉地给物品赋予性别。故选D。
【49题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) ‘provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.’(然而,马丁看到了一线希望:她认为拟人化‘为改变刻板印象提供了机会。’)以及后文举例可知,该段主要讲述给产品赋予性别属性的积极面——借助拟人化的产品打破刻板印象。故选B。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance. (同样地,我们可以打造承担与刻板印象不符角色的拟人化产品——例如,一个从事护理辅助工作的男性机器人,或者一个协助计算的女性机器人。)”可知,从事护理工作的男性机器人打破了“护理工作由女性承担”的传统刻板印象。故选B。
D篇
While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it’s time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
51. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
52. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
53. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks.
54. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why the Rush? B. What’s Next? C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame?
55. What does the author imply about the high rate of car ownership in Australia?
A. It has reduced the cost of road construction.
B. It reflects the success of road network expansion.
C. It has worsened the problem of pedestrian mobility.
D. It meets the growing travel needs of local families.
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. B 54. A 55. C

【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.(虽然近年来我们的街道可能已经改善了安全性,但交通研究也表明行人的流动性下降,尤其是年轻儿童。许多家长说,路上的交通太拥挤,他们的孩子无法安全步行上学,所以他们把孩子塞进车里)”可知,作者指出的现象是人们步行减少、开车增多。故选C。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.”(最著名的是,一位在20世纪50年代初将家人迁至曼哈顿的加拿大记者发起了一场运动,旨在阻止她所在社区公园的被毁坏。简·雅各布斯对计划将其改建成高速公路的做法表示震惊,并呼吁市长要致力于“让纽约成为一个宜居的地方,而不是只把纽约当成匆匆经过的地方。”)”可推知,加拿大记者和其他运动参与者旨在保持城市宜居性。故选A。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.(在20世纪60年代末和70年代,澳大利亚也发生了类似的运动)”和倒数第二段“Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly.(尽管这些运动广泛开展,但实际情况是,大多数西方城市都是围绕汽车的需求进行了彻底的重新规划。道路上的汽车数量正在迅速增加)”可推知,20世纪60年代末和70年代澳大利亚的运动未能阻止汽车发展,基本上没有效果。故选B。
【54题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据最后一段“We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities?(我们在帮助我们快速通过的道路上投入了大量资金,但我们没有考虑到真正的成本。我们真的认识到当孩子们不能在我们的社区安全地移动时,我们作为一个社会将会付出什么代价吗)”可推知,本文批判城市过度追求交通效率、忽视行人需求的现象,A项“Why the Rush? (为何匆匆?)”质问“rush through (匆匆通行)”的规划理念,契合主旨,最适合作为本文标题。故选A。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.(虽然近年来我们的街道可能已经改善了安全性,但交通研究也表明行人的流动性下降,尤其是年轻儿童。许多家长说,路上的交通太拥挤,他们的孩子无法安全步行上学,所以他们把孩子塞进车里)”以及倒数第二段“In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.(在澳大利亚,2600多万人拥有2000多万辆汽车,是世界上汽车拥有率最高的国家之一)”可知,作者暗示澳大利亚汽车拥有率高的现象加剧了行人出行的困难。故选C。
第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(共35分)
四、阅读表达(本大题共5小题,每题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product — CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
56. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning? (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
57. What is special about CanCandy? (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
58. What does Moore expect from her business? (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
59. How do you understand the underlined part in the last paragraph? (no more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________
60. How does Moore’s story inspire you to achieve success? Put it in your own words. (No more than 20 words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. She desired to get round the warning.
57. It uses natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
58. To help others find smiles.
59.
Anything could be possible.
60.
We should have positive thinking and take actions to try what we think right, which can result in success.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了摩尔创业故事,她之所以能成功,源于她面对问题时乐观地看待问题,积极地想方设法去解决问题。因此,通过她的故事让我们懂得积极的思考和行动会带来成功。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning,(外出时,有人给了她一块糖果。然而,她爸爸提醒她,甜食对她的牙齿不好。但摩尔厌倦了错过糖果。所以她想避开这个警告)”可知,摩尔对她父亲的警告的反应是:她想避开这个警告。故答案为:She desired to get round the warning.
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.(在父亲的允许下,她花了两年时间在网上进行研究,并进行试验,以找到一种既美味又对牙齿无害的食谱。她还找牙医学习更多关于清洁牙齿的知识。因此,她成功地制作了一种只使用天然甜味剂的糖果,这种甜味剂可以减少口腔细菌。)”可知,CanCandy的特殊之处在于它使用天然甜味剂的糖果,这种甜味剂可以减少口腔细菌。故答案为:It uses natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.(与此同时,在父母的帮助下,摩尔基本上能够过正常的青少年生活。虽然她很早就创立了自己的公司,但她的主要动机并不是利润。摩尔想用她独特的才能来帮助别人找到他们的微笑)”可知,摩尔对她的生意的期望是帮助别人微笑。故答案为:To help others find smiles.
【59题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“With her talent and determination(凭借她的才华和决心)”并结合上文讲述爱丽丝通过自己的天赋和努力发明CanCandy可知,此处指凭借她的天赋和决心,对艾丽丝来说一切皆是可能的,故画线词的意思是“一切皆有可能”。故答案为:Anything could be possible.
【60题详解】
开放性试题。文章主要讲述了主人公摩尔和父亲从银行出来时,有人给了她一块糖果。然而,父亲提醒她,甜食对她的牙齿有害。但是摩尔不想错过糖果,于是有了发明一种对牙齿有益的糖果的想法。经过努力,她的公司发明了一种超级糖果,最终获得成功,这种糖果可以挽救孩子们的牙齿,而不是毁掉他们的牙齿。所以“摩尔的故事是如何激励你取得成功的?”可以回答为:我们应该有积极的想法,并采取行动去尝试我们认为正确的事情,这可以导致成功。故答案为:We should have positive thinking and take actions to try what we think right, which can result in success.
