阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Europe’s mountain towns provide some of the most refreshing landscapes on the planet. But it’s the varieties of activities on offer that really shine.
Altaussee, Austria
Situated by the Lake Altaussee, it is a popular spa town. Water temperatures at the local lake can climb to 25℃ in hot weather, so it’s a draw for lake swimmers. Boating, hiking on the Tauplitz highland and cycling are also essential activities. In the town, the old- school, but luxury Siegglut apartments make a lovely base.
Morzine, France
Morzine is a lively town packed with country-style wooden cottages. Both hikers and trail runners are well- served by its many footpaths. Beyond this, when it comes to biking, the Portes du Soleil ski area is home to five bike parks, with 372 miles of trails and 22 bike-carrying lifts. If you’re new to the sport, schools such as Ride Ability can teach you the basics. For convenient stays, the highly rated Hotel Champs Fleuris is a super option, which is close to bike rental centers.
Laax, Switzerland
Laax has been the mountain getaway for young people. In winter its impressive No Name terrain park is where they snowboard. And in summer you’ll find them showing off tricks in skate parks. But don’t get too caught up in the skateboarding: hiking, rock- climbing and high- ropes courses are all on offer at Laax, too. Here, the minimalist Riders Hotel is a recommended place to stay.
Chamonix, France
Mountaineering is the big draw in Chamonix on account of western Europe’s tallest peak, Mont Blanc. But we’re not suggesting you climb it. Instead, join an introductory course run by the Compagnie des Guides. Over five days you’ll learn the basics of safe mountaineering and also get the courage and perseverance to climb steep rock faces. In the town, Langley Hotel Gustavia is a cute and central base in which to come back and rest.
1. Which town will you choose if you want to enjoy water sports?
A. Chamonix, France. B. Laax, Switzerland.
C. Morzine, France. D. Altaussee, Austria.
2. What can visitors do in Laax, Switzerland?
A. Enjoy relaxing spas. B. Experience skateboarding.
C. Show off bike tricks. D. Climb Mont Blanc.
3. What do Morzine and Chamonix have in common?
A. They provide bike rental services. B. They have luxury apartments.
C. They offer courses for beginners. D. They are known for biking trails.
B
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
4. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
5. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
6 What does Titterton need to practise?
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
7. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”?
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
C
Most people have no idea what to do with their old drugs. Unused or expired(到期的) medicines lying around at home can get into the wrong hands, leading to accidental poisoning or drug overdose. When drugs are flushed or sent to landfill, the medicines can pollute our groundwater, rivers, and streams, threatening human and sea life.
In an effort to find a solution for drugs kept in medicine boxes or waterways, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched its first National Take-Back Day in September 2010. In the drug take-back program, the returned drugs are sent to medical waste incinerators (焚烧炉). However, the process of transporting and burning such waste can release green-house gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.
“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incin-eration effectively eliminates the entrance of these medicines into our nation’s waters,” says Tim Carroll, a spokesperson for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Perhaps surprisingly, not all unused medicines need to be thrown away. Every year five billion dollars’ worth of unexpired medicines end up being deserted in the U. S. “We’re wasting a lot of medicines which are already paid for,“ says Anandi Law, a patient engagement specialist. “Millions of U.S. adults skip or delay getting their prescriptions filled due to high costs. We could give them to somebody else who needs it.”
Now, at least 40 states have passed legislation establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example, since its start in 2007, lowa’s program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies. Georgia’s program formally was launched in 2018, and it has already filled prescriptions worth over 50 million dollars.
“All of these efforts are still relatively new,” Carroll says. “We still have a long way to go until households change their habits.”
8. What disadvantage of the drug take-back program is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. It costs large amounts of money.
B. It increases the greenhouse effect.
C. It can produce poisonous chemicals.
D. It wastes lots of energy to deal with old drugs.
9. What is Tim Carroll’s attitude towards the take-back program?
A. Cautious.
B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive.
D. Disapproving.
10. What is Anandi Law’s suggestion about unused and unexpired medicines?
A. Sending them to landfills.
B. Selling them at a low price.
C. Donating them to someone in need.
D. Developing technologies to recycle them.
11. What do the numbers in paragraph 5 mainly indicate?
A. The challenging task of SafeNetRx.
B. The expense of recycling unused drugs.
C. The significance of health care facilities.
D. The achievements of drug donation programs.
D
A lot of glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative.
In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸). That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.
In a test, glass beads(玻璃珠) made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice, and the breakdown of the bead and the skin healing process were observed for 30 days. A diagram from the study shows how the mice’s bodies broke down the beads. In that month, the glass implant degraded(降解) beneath the skin, the wound site healed, and fur grew back. “Throughout the experimental period, no mice showed any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in heat. In order to overcome this barrier, the researchers chemically modified the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass making. This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher.
“It’s important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage, and far from large-scale commercialization,” emphasized Yan Xuehai, a professor involved in the study, in a press release.
12. What did the researchers study during the experiment?
A. The mice’s skin healing process. B. The breakdown of the glass beads.
C. The medical value of the new glass. D. The glass degradation with less injury to the mice.
13. How do the researchers improve the durability of amino acid glass?
A. Adding more amino acids. B. Heating the glass and rapidly cooling it.
C. Using special chemical substances. D. Changing the producing process of glass.
14. What does the underlined word “modified” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Transformed. B. Melted. C. Enlarged. D. Produced.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A New Kind of Perfect Glass B. Amino Acids Make Glass Tougher
C. Large-scale Commercial Glass Products D. Environment-Friendly and Biodegradable Glass

Dad and Madison were walking through the party store, gathering decorations for Madison’s upcoming birthday party.
“But I don’t want to invite Lucy Gilbert! I don’t like her!”
“Madison, you are being unreasonable. If every girl in your class is invited to a party but you, you’ll feel left out. It would be a big mistake not to invite Lucy to the party. ”“She never even talks to me! ”
Dad sighed and moved down the aisle ( 走廊). “Lucy is a new girl in class. She just moved here a little over a month ago. Think about how that must feel. She doesn’t know one single person in the school. She left all of her old friends behind and now she has to try to make new friends. Your party will be a great chance for her to get to know everyone. ”
“No, it won’t. She will probably sit in the corner and not talk to anyone. Every day at lunch she sits all by herself. She wants to eat alone!" Madison shrugged and rolled her eyes (翻白眼).
“Madison, I’m done discussing this. You will invite every girl in your class, including Lucy Gilbert!"
On Saturday morning, the family blew up balloons and decorated the house cheerfully. Madison was dressed beautifully for the day, wearing her new blue dress. It was not typical of her to dress herself like this. She usually wore sports clothes because she loved to be outside riding her horse Star with a lead rope (缰绳).
Madison greeted her friends at the doorstep, picturing (想象)various presents her friends would bring her. In the meanwhile, she was wondering whether Lucy would ruin the party if she came. Anyhow, all the girls she invited came finally, including Lucy. The girls had a fantastic time by singing and dancing while Lucy sat in the corner silently alone. Later, all the girls gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Opening them one by one, Madison thanked her friends, with a bright smile on her face.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened.

Paragraph 2:
Deeply moved by what she said Madison held the lead rope tightly in her hands.

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
4. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
5. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
6. What does Titterton need to practise?
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
7. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”?
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.(我不是受过训练的音乐家,但我学会了识谱,这样我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她)”可知,因为Titterton识谱,所以可以在Maria的钢琴表演中为她翻页。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.(这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分)”可知,为钢琴家翻页这项工作很需要技巧,所以Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C项。

Most people have no idea what to do with their old drugs. Unused or expired(到期的) medicines lying around at home can get into the wrong hands, leading to accidental poisoning or drug overdose. When drugs are flushed or sent to landfill, the medicines can pollute our groundwater, rivers, and streams, threatening human and sea life.
In an effort to find a solution for drugs kept in medicine boxes or waterways, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched its first National Take-Back Day in September 2010. In the drug take-back program, the returned drugs are sent to medical waste incinerators (焚烧炉). However, the process of transporting and burning such waste can release green-house gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.
“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incin-eration effectively eliminates the entrance of these medicines into our nation’s waters,” says Tim Carroll, a spokesperson for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Perhaps surprisingly, not all unused medicines need to be thrown away. Every year five billion dollars’ worth of unexpired medicines end up being deserted in the U. S. “We’re wasting a lot of medicines which are already paid for,“ says Anandi Law, a patient engagement specialist. “Millions of U.S. adults skip or delay getting their prescriptions filled due to high costs. We could give them to somebody else who needs it.”
Now, at least 40 states have passed legislation establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example, since its start in 2007, lowa’s program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies. Georgia’s program formally was launched in 2018, and it has already filled prescriptions worth over 50 million dollars.
“All of these efforts are still relatively new,” Carroll says. “We still have a long way to go until households change their habits.”
8. What disadvantage of the drug take-back program is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. It costs large amounts of money.
B. It increases the greenhouse effect.
C. It can produce poisonous chemicals.
D. It wastes lots of energy to deal with old drugs.
9. What is Tim Carroll’s attitude towards the take-back program?
A. Cautious.
B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive.
D. Disapproving.
10. What is Anandi Law’s suggestion about unused and unexpired medicines?
A. Sending them to landfills.
B. Selling them at a low price.
C. Donating them to someone in need.
D. Developing technologies to recycle them.
11. What do the numbers in paragraph 5 mainly indicate?
A. The challenging task of SafeNetRx.
B. The expense of recycling unused drugs.
C. The significance of health care facilities.
D. The achievements of drug donation programs.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了过期药品怎么处理。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“the process of transporting and burning such waste can release greenhouse gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.(运输和燃烧这些废物的过程可能会释放温室气体,其排放量可能比将药物倒入垃圾填埋场产生的温室气体还要多)”可知,药品回收计划加重了温室效应。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句的“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incineration effectively eliminates the entrance of these medicines into our nation’s waters(但回收项目更受欢迎,因为它们减少了药物滥用的风险,焚烧有效地消除了这些药物进入我国水域的可能性)”可知,蒂姆·卡罗尔对回收计划的态度是支持的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“We could give them to somebody else who needs it.(我们可以把它们送给其他需要的人)”可知,对于未使用和未过期的药物,Law建议把它们捐给有需要的人。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的前两句“Now, at least 40 states have passed legislation establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example, since its start in 2007, lowa’s program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies.(现在,至少有40个州已经通过立法,建立了药物捐赠项目,允许药品制造商、医疗和长期护理机构,有时个人捐赠他们没有用过的药物。例如,自2007年启动以来,爱荷华州的SafeNetRx项目已经为11.7万多名患者提供了服务,并重新分配了价值近5400万美元的药品和用品)”可知,第五段提到的数字主要展示了药品捐赠工作取得的成绩。故选D项。
D
A lot of glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative.
In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸). That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.
In a test, glass beads(玻璃珠) made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice, and the breakdown of the bead and the skin healing process were observed for 30 days. A diagram from the study shows how the mice’s bodies broke down the beads. In that month, the glass implant degraded(降解) beneath the skin, the wound site healed, and fur grew back. “Throughout the experimental period, no mice showed any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in heat. In order to overcome this barrier, the researchers chemically modified the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass making. This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher.
“It’s important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage, and far from large-scale commercialization,” emphasized Yan Xuehai, a professor involved in the study, in a press release.
12. What did the researchers study during the experiment?
A. The mice’s skin healing process. B. The breakdown of the glass beads.
C. The medical value of the new glass. D. The glass degradation with less injury to the mice.
13. How do the researchers improve the durability of amino acid glass?
A. Adding more amino acids. B. Heating the glass and rapidly cooling it.
C. Using special chemical substances. D. Changing the producing process of glass.
14. What does the underlined word “modified” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Transformed. B. Melted. C. Enlarged. D. Produced.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A New Kind of Perfect Glass B. Amino Acids Make Glass Tougher
C. Large-scale Commercial Glass Products D. Environment-Friendly and Biodegradable Glass
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国科学院的专家团队利用氨基酸研制出一种可降解的环保玻璃。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Throughout the experimental period, no mice showed any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper.(研究人员在论文中写道:“在整个实验期间,没有老鼠表现出可能由玻璃植入引起的任何与疼痛相关的行为,也没有老鼠出现明显的体重减轻。”)”可知,研究人员在实验中研究出玻璃降解对小鼠损伤较小。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher.(这是当玻璃材料被加热变软,然后迅速冷却,以使玻璃更坚韧的时候)”可知,研究人员加热玻璃并迅速冷却来提高氨基酸玻璃的耐久性。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“In order to overcome this barrier, the researchers chemically”以及后文“the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass making”可知,为了克服这一障碍,研究人员使用玻璃制造中应用的加热—冷却程序对氨基酸进行化学转换。故划线词意思是“转换”。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A lot of glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative.(今天,许多由沙子和碳酸钠制成的玻璃可以重复使用或熔化并回收制成新物品,但它不会在环境中分解,将在垃圾填埋场中放置数千年。一组中国科学家旨在通过开发一种具有生态意识的替代品来解决这种环境问题)”结合主要介绍了中国科学院的专家团队利用氨基酸研制出一种可降解的环保玻璃。可知,D选项“环保型、可生物降解玻璃”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【16题详解】
该空位于第一段末尾,需承上启下。前文“One of the best things about visiting Spain is the foodie culture. The fresh Mediterranean ingredients make dishes like paella so good that they’re copied around the world. And, while food is taken seriously, the attitude to actually eating is so laid-back.(游览西班牙最棒的体验之一便是其地道的美食文化。新鲜的地中海食材使得像海鲜饭这样的菜肴美味无比,甚至风靡全球。尽管他们对食物本身十分讲究,但实际的用餐态度却格外慵懒随意。) ”总体赞扬了西班牙的美食文化和悠闲的用餐态度,后文则开始按时间顺序详细介绍一日饮食的具体安排。D项“这是一份像西班牙人一样度过一天饮食的指南”既能总结前文引入的主题,又能自然引出下文分时间段的详细介绍,起到总领全文的作用。故选D。
【17题详解】
该空位于“双早餐”部分。后句提到“And make time mid-morning for a more substantial breakfast, perhaps involving toasted bread with tomatoes and olive oil.(并在上午中段留出时间享用一顿更丰盛的早餐,比如来一份淋上番茄和橄榄油的烤面包。)”,可见前句应描述第一顿早餐。F项“起床后先喝点咖啡,吃点像蛋糕这样的小东西”准确地描述了西班牙常见的简便晨间早餐,与后文的“更丰盛的早餐”构成了“双早餐”的完整描述,逻辑连贯。故选F。
【18题详解】
该空是第三部分的小标题。该段“Lunch, which starts at 2 pm, is the biggest meal of the day and can consist of several courses. This is when you’ll have the best opportunity to enjoy some of the classic Spanish dishes, like rice-based seafood paella, lentil soups and hearty meat stews.(午餐在下午两点开始,这是一天中最丰盛的一餐,可能包含多道菜肴。此时您能品尝到最经典的西班牙美食,例如以米饭为底的海鲜饭、扁豆汤和丰盛的炖肉。)”主要内容是午餐在下午2点开始,是一天中最丰盛的一餐,包含多道菜肴。A项“午餐吃饱”简洁有力地概括了本段核心——午餐的丰盛及其作为主餐的地位。故选A。
【19题详解】
该空位于“Afternoon snack(午后小吃)”部分。前句“Mid-afternoon is the best snacking time in Spain and the perfect excuse to try that great café you spotted the other day.(在西班牙,午后三点左右是最佳的休闲小吃时光,也是你去那家早就留意到的绝妙咖啡馆坐坐的绝佳理由。)”提到午后是吃小吃的最佳时间,后句“Coffee is a big part of the afternoon snack but is also enjoyed at breakfast and at the end of larger meals, served after dessert.(咖啡是午后小吃的重要组成部分,也同样常见于早餐时段,或是在享用大餐、甜点之后饮用。)”则强调咖啡是午后小吃的重要部分。G项“通常,人们会与朋友一起享用某种蛋糕或水果馅饼,并搭配咖啡”具体描述了午后小吃的典型内容(蛋糕/馅饼)和社交属性,完美嵌入上下文,补充了“吃什么”的细节。故选G。
【20题详解】
该空位于“Prepare to eat late(准备晚吃)”部分的开头。后文“Locals will sit down for their evening meal around 9: 30 pm. This is often a lighter meal, so you might see salads, potato omelets, fried potatoes or cured meats on the menu. Many restaurants will open their doors earlier for tourists, but making sure that you eat late at least once will allow you to fully experience eating like the Spanish.(当地人通常在晚上9点半左右才坐下来用晚餐。这顿饭通常较为清淡,所以你可能会在菜单上看到沙拉、土豆煎蛋卷、炸土豆或腌肉等菜肴。许多餐馆会为游客提前开放,但确保至少体验一次晚用餐,才能让你完整感受像西班牙人一样用餐的滋味。)”详细说明当地人约晚上9:30才用晚餐,并描述了晚餐的食物。E项“西班牙的晚餐时间比欧洲任何其他国家都晚”直接点明了本段主旨,即西班牙晚餐时间之晚是一个突出特点,能够有效引出后文的详细解释。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了当前中国的年轻人受到近期巴黎奥运会的影响,在进入秋季后开始采用运动员们的“轻食”来保持理想体重,凸显了中国年轻一代对营养和身体的意识日益增强。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国成语“贴秋膘”是指在初秋通过吃富含蛋白质和脂肪的食物,包括炖肉、饺子和坚果,来增加一点体重。空处应用介词,后接宾语“protein and fat”;固定短语rich in表示“富含”。故填in。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:自古以来,人们就会在立夏(标志着夏天开始的24节气之一)测量体重,并将其与立秋(秋天开始)的体重进行比较。空处为谓语动词,由“Since ancient times”可知,该句为现在完成时,动词measure表示“测量、衡量”,与主语“people”之间为主动关系,表示“人们测量体重”,谓语为复数形式。故填have measured。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:这种比较可以帮助他们计算出他们在炎热的月份减掉了多少体重,希望增加足够的体重来平安度过即将到来的寒冷季节。空处应为名词,作主语;comparison为名词,表示“对比、比较”,符合句意。故填comparison。
【39题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:这种比较可以帮助他们计算出他们在炎热的月份减掉了多少体重,希望增加足够的体重来平安度过即将到来的寒冷季节。weather可作动词,表示“平安度过(困境)”,由句中谓语动词“helps”可知,空处应用非谓语动词形式,作目的状语,表示获得足够的体重是为了平安度过即将到来的寒冷季节,故应用动词不定式。故填to weather。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:然而,今年秋天,许多人选择打破传统,通过吃所谓的轻食,或字面意思就是“清淡食物”来甩掉多余的体重。空处为宾语从句的谓语动词,根据主句中的“are choosing”和句意可知,从句为一般现在时,表示客观事实;动词短语refer to...as...表示“把……称作”,与主语“what”之间应为被动关系,表示“被称作轻食的东西”,谓语为单数。故填is referred。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:我认为这是一种后奥运时代的现象。空处应用冠词,修饰名词短语post-Olympic phenomenon,表示“一种后奥运时代现象”,故应用不定冠词,post以辅音音素开始发音,不定冠词用a,表示泛指。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查动名词。句意:在你整个夏天都在电视上看那些身材匀称的运动员之后,你往往会在午夜反思你的饮食。动词短语spend time (in) doing sth表示“花费时间做某事”。故填watching。
【43题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:李的言论反映了最近巴黎奥运会影响的更广泛的趋势,这激发了社交媒体平台上对运动员清淡饮食的兴趣。根据句中谓语动词“reflect”可知,空处应用动词influence的非谓语动词形式,与“trend”之间为被动关系,表示“被影响的趋势”,故应用过去分词,作后置定语。故填influenced。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:李的言论反映了最近巴黎奥运会影响的更广泛的趋势,这激发了社交媒体平台上对运动员清淡饮食的兴趣。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“trend”,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词which。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:由于年轻人积极地喜欢更清淡的食物,他们也为健康食品经济的增长做出了贡献。空处应用副词,修饰动词“favor”,作状语;actively为副词,表示“积极地、主动地”。故填actively。

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。
Dad and Madison were walking through the party store, gathering decorations for Madison’s upcoming birthday party.
“But I don’t want to invite Lucy Gilbert! I don’t like her!”
“Madison, you are being unreasonable. If every girl in your class is invited to a party but you, you’ll feel left out. It would be a big mistake not to invite Lucy to the party. ”“She never even talks to me! ”
Dad sighed and moved down the aisle ( 走廊). “Lucy is a new girl in class. She just moved here a little over a month ago. Think about how that must feel. She doesn’t know one single person in the school. She left all of her old friends behind and now she has to try to make new friends. Your party will be a great chance for her to get to know everyone. ”
“No, it won’t. She will probably sit in the corner and not talk to anyone. Every day at lunch she sits all by herself. She wants to eat alone!" Madison shrugged and rolled her eyes (翻白眼).
“Madison, I’m done discussing this. You will invite every girl in your class, including Lucy Gilbert!"
On Saturday morning, the family blew up balloons and decorated the house cheerfully. Madison was dressed beautifully for the day, wearing her new blue dress. It was not typical of her to dress herself like this. She usually wore sports clothes because she loved to be outside riding her horse Star with a lead rope (缰绳).
Madison greeted her friends at the doorstep, picturing (想象)various presents her friends would bring her. In the meanwhile, she was wondering whether Lucy would ruin the party if she came. Anyhow, all the girls she invited came finally, including Lucy. The girls had a fantastic time by singing and dancing while Lucy sat in the corner silently alone. Later, all the girls gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Opening them one by one, Madison thanked her friends, with a bright smile on her face.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Deeply moved by what she said, Madison held the lead rope tightly in her hands.

【答案】高分范文
Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened. Worrying that it would ruin the party, Madison grabbed the present reluctantly. As soon as she opened the box, her eyes widened in surprise——inside was a delicately hand-made lead rope! Amazed at its beauty, Madison pulled it out of the box. “It’s a lead rope for your horse Star. I made it by myself!”Lucy added, “I heard you talking about your horse at school. That’s when I got the idea of making you a lead rope. ”
Deeply moved by what she said, Madison held the lead rope tightly in her hands. It was the most beautiful birthday present she ever received. She suddenly felt so guilty because she had been so mean to Lucy. Feeling a mixture of regret and gratitude, she blinked back her tears and said, “Thanks so much for this lead rope. I love it! Would you like to join us and be our friends?” Lucy nodded cheerfully——Madison put her arm around Luey’s shoulders, both smiling. With applause and laughter echoing through the house, Lucy joined the other girls to enjoy the party.
