Santorini, Greece With its unique blue-roofed churches whitewashed buildings and colorful beaches, the island is a dream place for photographers. Also, some archaeologically (考古地) significant sites are worth a visit. Locals like to say there’s more wine than water on the island where it doesn’t often rain. Machu Picchu, Peru As one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is one of the most-visited attractions in Peru. Visitors are particularly attracted by Temple of the Condor, a rock temple carved to look like the impressive bird in its name. Book tickets in advance, as only 2,500 people can visit Machu Picchu each day. Dubai, United Arab Emirates Everything is bigger and better in Dubai, which has various enjoyable sites, including water-parks, shopping malls and even an indoor ski spot. Though you’re likely to pay a pretty penny for a trip to Dubai, you can save a little cash by visiting during summer months. Maui, Hawaii Maui is home to some of the island’s best-known attractions and beaches. Besides, you can explore the world’s largest volcano that’s resting, Haleakala. This is Hawaii, so your trip will be on the high-priced side. Maui has most beaches, with red, white and black sand. 1. What is Santorini like? A. A land of great drought. B. An ideal site for photographers. C. A place with wine history. D. A place full of archaeological sites. 2. What’s special about Machu Picchu? A. It has a temple named after a kind of bird. B. It’s the most attractive spot in Peru. C. It has a limitless number of visitors each day. D. It’s among Seven Wonders of Peru. 3. What do Dubai and Maui have in common? A. They offer indoor skiing activities. B. They cost large amounts of money. C. They have beaches with colored sand. D. They have the world’s largest volcano. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了全球四个最佳旅行目的地的介绍和特色。 1题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Santorini, Greece部分中“With its unique blue-roofed churches, whitewashed buildings and colorful beaches, the island is a dream place for photographers. (这个岛屿以其独特的蓝色屋顶的教堂、粉刷成白色的建筑和色彩斑斓的海滩，是摄影师们的梦想之地。)”可知，Santorini是一个理想的摄影场所。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Machu Picchu, Peru部分中“Visitors are particularly attracted by Temple of the Condor, a rock temple carved to look like the impressive bird in its name. (游客们尤其被秃鹰庙所吸引，这是一座岩石寺庙，以它的名字命名，看起来像令人印象深刻的秃鹰。)”可知，所以，Machu Picchu的特别之处在于它有一座以鸟类命名的寺庙。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章Dubai, United Arab部分中“Though you’re likely to pay a pretty penny for a trip to Dubai, you can save a little cash by visiting during summer months. (虽然你可能会花一大笔钱去迪拜旅行，但在夏季参观可以节省一点钱。)”和最后一段“This is Hawaii, so your trip will be on the high-priced side. (这是夏威夷，所以你的旅行价格会偏高。)”可知，Dubai和Maui的共同点是它们的旅行费用都很高。故选B。 B In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them. So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in. “We are totally dependent on ourselves,” Mr. Allen said. “But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.” Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents instead of government agencies, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people. Although not the cure- all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. “If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert. For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away. 4. What is NOT mentioned as a problem the Allens meet with? A. Physical weakness due to the broken bone. B. Possible loss of driver’s license due to breaking traffic rules. C. Failure to handle certain fixing tasks due to limited mobility. D. Difficulty in traveling to public places alone due to physical condition. 5. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. People like Allens gather to live in a special place for shared elderly caring. B. The government arranges necessary services for people like Allens. C. Senior people give up “aging in place” life mainly out of pressure from children. D. “Aging in place” people pay to have necessary service staff on call. 6. The underlined word precipitous in the passage is closest in meaning to ________. A. alternative B. fake C. rushed D. joint 7. Which of the following is probably the title of the passage? A. US grey band fights to stay at home B. Attention, US seniors are suffering C. At home vs Nursing home-a hard choice for US seniors D. US adult children, it’s time to care for your parents 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了关于老年人如何在社区中保持独立生活，以及一个由居民自发组织的运动，旨在使社区成为老年人舒适生活的地方的现象。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them.(在波托马克河附近的一个小镇上，82岁的George和Anne Allen夫妇正努力留在他们心爱的三层楼房和社区里。Allen先生自从在楼梯上摔倒摔断了脊椎后，走路就一直很困难，而且考虑到他的身体状况，他在驾照到期续签时可能会失去驾驶资格。Allen太太最近下床时不小心弄伤了脚。他们俩都无法爬上梯子去换灯泡，也无法在洗碗池下弯腰修理漏水。如果没有外界的帮助，对他们来说，去商店和公共场所将意味着难以想象的艰难跋涉)”可知，选项A、C和D都是Allen夫妇所遇到的问题。选项B“Possible loss of driver’s license due to breaking traffic rules.(因违反交通规则而可能失去驾照)”并未提及。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away.(为了获得启发，“就地养老”团体现在每年支付会费——个人580美元，以此换取安全保障，知道木匠、厨师、计算机专家或家庭健康助手只需一个电话就能随叫随到)”可知，“就地养老”团体现在每年支付会费，以确保知道木匠、厨师、计算机专家或家庭健康助手只需一个电话就能随叫随到。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Although not the cure — all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. (虽然这种方法并不能解决所有复杂医疗需求的问题，但它解决了专家所说的老年人因相对较小的问题而草率放弃家园的过早决定。随着这些小问题的不断累积，有时再加上成年子女的压力，老年房主会感到措手不及。没有足够的帮助而留在家里是令人害怕的)”可推测，如果遇到很多问题，老人会仓促作出决定。再根据所在句““If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert.(“如果人们不感到那么无助，他们就不必______ 做出决定。实际上，像搬进养老院这样的做法是很难逆转的，”一位专家说)”可推测，划线单词和“仓促间”意思相符。选项C“rushed(匆忙)”与此意义相近。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in.(因此，Allen夫妇与他们的邻居们团结起来，邻居们也同样决心避免因为依赖他人而被迫离开自己的家。与全国100多个社区一样，他们的团体也是致力于让社区成为老年人舒适生活的地方的运动的一部分)”以及第四段“Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. (他们的团体已经注册为非营利性公司，正在设定会员费，并正在组织交通、房屋维修、陪伴、安全和其他服务的提供者，以满足他们在家里尽可能长时间生活的需求。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要描述了美国老年人为了能在自己家中养老，即“就地养老”（aging in place），所做的努力和斗争。他们通过自发组织，确保自己能在熟悉的社区环境中养老，而无需被迫搬离到养老院或其他护理机构。选项A“US grey band fights to stay at home”直接反映了文章的主旨，即美国老年人为了能在自己家中养老所做的斗争。其中，“grey band”形象地描述了老年人群体，而“fights to stay at home”则准确地概括了他们的行动和目标，适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C In 1879, an 8-year-old girl made a discovery that would rock our understanding of human history. On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans’ supposedly primitive ancestors. Today, nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils (模板), strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists. The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modern humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago, as part of a “cultural explosion” reflecting a flowering of the human mind. But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What’s more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity. Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, contain many painted images. Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000 years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art. Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time. This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. “When we found that image, we were absolutely delighted, but when it turned out to be that old, we were almost jumping with joy,” says Adam Brumm, also at Griffith University. 8. What did the girl find in the cave? A. Wild animals. B. Ancient images. C. Painting techniques. D. Recording artists. 9. What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art? A. It can be traced back to Europe. B. It reflected the flowering of human minds. C. Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia. D. Modern humans might not have been real artists. 10. What does the underlined word “upended” mean in paragraph 3? A. Proved. B. Strengthened. C. Overturned. D. Overemphasized. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The amazing discoveries. B. The researchers’ expectations. C. The benefits of the technique. D. The description of the cave art. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要是通过人们的发现和专家们的研究，探索古老的洞穴壁画艺术的悠久的历史。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans’ supposedly primitive ancestors. ”（ 在西班牙北部Altamira洞穴的墙壁上，她发现了用鲜艳的红色和黑色绘制的野生奶牛的惊人画作，比这些图像更引人注目的是它们的年代：它们是由现代人的原始祖先在几千年前制作的。）可知，这个女孩在洞穴发现了古老的图像。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What’s more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity.”（首先，现代人可能不是欧洲最早的艺术家，更重要的是，在印度尼西亚发现的一组洞穴壁画驳斥了欧洲是创造力中心的观点。）可知，欧洲不是洞穴艺术的发源地，“洞穴艺术可以追溯到欧洲”这一想法是一种误解。故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000 years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. ”（现代人被认为在大约6.5万年前到达了这个地区，但没有人想到这些艺术品可能非常古老，因为古代绘画似乎不太可能在高温环境中存活下来。）和“Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time.”（在七个洞穴中使用这种技术，他们发现了一个至少有39900年历史的手模板，使其成为当时已知最古老的手模板。）可知，通过使用这种技术，人们发现了存活下来的古老的艺术平，改变了最初的想法；结合划线词所在句“A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art.”中的“using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art”（使用这种正在改变我们对洞穴艺术的理解的技术）可知，使用这项技术改变、颠覆了之前的想法，故“upended”意为“颠覆”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. ”（这为印尼的新发现打开了闸门。）及“These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork.”（其中包括至少43,900年前创作的狩猎场景，这是迄今为止最古老的描述性艺术品。）可知，最后一段主要在谈论在印尼发现的这些令人惊叹的艺术品。故选A。 D Until recently, gravitational waves could have been the stuff of Einstein’s imagination. Before they were detected, these waves in space time existed only in the physicist’s general theory of relativity, as far as scientists knew. Now, researchers are on the hunt for more ways to detect the waves. “The study of gravitational waves is booming,” says astrophysicist Karan Jani of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. “This is just remarkable. No field I can think of in fundamental physics has seen progress this fast.” Just as light comes in a variety of wavelengths, so do gravitational waves. Different wave lengths point to different types of origins of the universe and require different kinds of detectors. Gravitational waves with wavelengths of a few thousand kilometers — like those detected by the United States, Italy and Japan — come mostly from pairs of black holes 10 or so times the mass of the sun, or from collisions of dense cosmic blocks called neutron stars (中子星). These detectors could also spot waves from certain types of exploding stars and rapidly moving neutron stars. In contrast, huge waves that span light-years are thought to be created by orbiting pairs of bigger black holes with masses billions of times that of the sun. In June, scientists reported the first strong evidence of these types of waves by turning the entire galaxy (星系) into a detector, watching how the waves make slight changes to the timing of regular blinks from neutron stars throughout the Milky Way. Physicists now hope to dive into a vast, cosmic ocean of gravitational waves of all sorts of sizes. These waves could reveal new details about the secret lives of exotic objects such as black holes and unknown parts of the universe. Physicist Jason Hogan of Stanford University thinks there are still a lot of gaps in the coverage of wavelengths. “But it makes sense to cover all the bases. Who knows what else we may find?” he says. The search for capturing the full complement of the universe’s gravitational waves exactly could take observatories out into the moon, to the atomic area and elsewhere. 12. What does Karan Jani think of the current study on gravitational waves? A. It is rapid and pioneering. B. It is slow but steadily increasing. C. It is interrupted due to limited detectors. D. It is progressing as fast as any other field. 13. What do the detected gravitational waves mostly indicate? A. The creation of different kinds of detectors. B. Collisions of planets outside the solar system. C. The presence of light in different wavelengths. D. Activities involving black holes and neutron stars. 14. How did scientists manage to find huge waves’ evidence? A. By analyzing sunlight. B. By locating the new galaxy. C. By using the whole galaxy as a tool. D. By observing the sun’s regular movement. 15. What can be inferred about the future study according to the last paragraph? A. It’ll exclude the atomic field. B. It’ll focus exactly on the mapping of the galaxy. C. It’ll require prioritizing certain wavelengths on the moon. D. It’ll explore potential places to detect gravitational waves. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了对引力波相关研究的快速发展，以及对引力波研究时的发现，和该研究的重要意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中““The study of gravitational waves is booming,” says astrophysicist Karan Jani of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. “This is just remarkable. No field I can think of in fundamental physics has seen progress this fast.”(“对引力波的研究正在蓬勃发展，”纳什维尔范德比尔特大学的天体物理学家Karan Jani说。“这太了不起了。在基础物理学中，我想不出有哪个领域的进步如此之快。”)”可知，Karan Jani认为最近的引力波的研究是快速且具有开拓性的。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Gravitational waves with wavelengths of a few thousand kilometers—like those detected by the United States, Italy and Japan—come mostly from pairs of black holes 10 or so times the mass of the sun, or from collisions of dense cosmic blocks called neutron stars(中子星).(波长为几千公里的引力波——就像美国、意大利和日本探测到的那样——主要来自一对质量为太阳10倍左右的黑洞，或者来自被称为中子星的致密宇宙块的碰撞)”可知，探测到的引力波主要表明黑洞和中子星的相关活动。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In June, scientists reported the first strong evidence of these types of waves by turning the entire galaxy(星系) into a detector, watching how the waves make slight changes to the timing of regular blinks from neutron stars throughout the Milky Way.(今年6月，科学家们通过将整个星系变成一个探测器，观察这些波如何对整个银河系中子星定期眨眼的时间产生细微变化，报告了这些波的第一个有力证据)”可知，科学家通过将整个星系变为探测器来寻找巨大波存在的证据。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Physicist Jason Hogan of Stanford University thinks there are still a lot of gaps in the coverage of wavelengths. “But it makes sense to cover all the bases. Who knows what else we may find?” he says. The search for capturing the full complement of the universe’s gravitational waves exactly could take observatories out into the moon, to the atomic area and elsewhere.(斯坦福大学的物理学家杰森·霍根认为，在波长的覆盖范围上还有很多空白。“但覆盖所有基础是有意义的。谁知道我们还会发现什么?”他说。为了准确捕捉到宇宙引力波的全部内容，天文台可以进入月球、原子区域和其他地方)”可知，在波长覆盖的范围上还有很多空白，且覆盖所有基础是有意义的。由此推知，未来的研究将探索可能探测到引力波的地方。故选D。 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。 Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.____16____Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do. ____17____People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.____18____For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.____19____ In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem.____20____ Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health. A. It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either. B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect. C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations. D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind. E. As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well. F They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking. G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. C 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了积极思考对人产生的各种益处，同时将积极思考者与悲观主义者相比较，分析两种人的差异。积极思维是应对困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.(自我对话是一个人持续不断的想法，他常常对一些事件、现象、人，甚至是他自己都没有意识和不确定)”以及后文“Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue.(同时，积极的思考可以帮助停止消极的自我对话，开始形成对一个问题的积极的观点)”由此可知，上文对自我对话进行了定义，后文则提到了积极的思考可以有助于停止消极的自我对话，可知本句是在说明消极的自我对话对人的不良影响。后文中negative self-talks可对应到B选项中Negative self-talk。故B选项“消极的自言自语会损害自信，降低自尊”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.(积极思考的人寿命更长，抑郁和焦虑率更低，身心更健康，死于心脏问题的风险更低。积极的思考也有助于一个人处理问题和困难的能力)”由此可知，后文提到了积极思考对人的益处，后文中People who think positively以及Positive thinking可对应到D选项中Positive thinking。故D选项“积极思考对身心有几个有益的影响”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据后文“For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety.(例如，研究人员发现，当危机伴随着强烈的情绪时，比如自然灾害，积极的思考可以为抑郁和焦虑提供一种缓冲)”可知，后文举出的例子说明了积极思考可以让一个人在面临危机时，保持冷静。故C选项“它帮助一个人在困难的情况下保持头脑清醒和自信”符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.(积极思考的、有韧性的人倾向于把每一个问题都看作是一个挑战，一个改进的机会，或者一个个人成长的机会。相反，悲观主义者倾向于将问题视为额外压力的来源)可知，上文在将积极思考者与悲观主义者相比较，本句应承接上文，进一步解释说明悲观主义者在解决问题时一些性格特点。上文Pessimists可对应到G选项中They。故G选项“他们常常在试图解决问题之前就感到气馁，即使是很小的问题”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. (总之，积极思考是应对困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。当一个人拒绝注意到一个问题时，它与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系)”可知，本句承接上文进一步说明一个人拒绝注意到问题的影响，它与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系，也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适。故A选项“它也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Devin Lee is a high school chemistry teacher in Washington D.

For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. He was desperate for the day when he got the car he desired. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. He dreamed himself driving freely on the road, Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study telling him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and that how much he loved him, Afterwards, he handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed (凸印) in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible and never returning home. Many years passed and the young man was very successful and secured a place in business, He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him, He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. 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。 When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. Tears welling up in his eyes, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. He stood there, paralysed with shock, a car key dropping from the back of the Bible, which had a tag with the dealer’s name and the date of his graduation, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Sometimes we don’t realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect “the packaging” to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened. We are supposed to arm ourselves with the capacity to explore the truth. A profound understanding of the world and its complexities reveals that the truth often lies beneath the surface, concealed by the veil of appearances. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位年轻人在大学毕业时希望父亲送给他一辆他心仪已久的跑车作为礼物，但最终父亲送给他的是一本刻有他名字的精美圣经。年轻人对此非常失望和愤怒，以至于离家出走，多年未归。多年后，他事业有成，家庭美满，但当他想起年迈的父亲并决定去看望时，却得知父亲已经去世，并将所有财产留给了他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他到达父亲的家时，突然的悲伤和遗憾充满了他的心。”可知，第一段可描写年轻人在回到父亲家后的情感变化以及发现跑车钥匙的意外情节。 ②由第二段首句内容“有多少次，我们与祝福擦肩而过，只是因为它们没有按照我们想象的样子包装好？”可知，第二段可描写我们对祝福或好运的误解和期望，以及如何通过深入探索和理解来发现真正的机遇和真相。 2.续写线索：搜索——流泪——发现车钥匙——意识到——武装自己——真相在表面下 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①搜索：search through/seek through ②掉下来：drop/flop ③武装：arm/equip 情绪类 ①哭：tears well up/tear surge up ②震惊：shock/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] He stood there, paralysed with shock, a car key dropping from the back of the Bible, which had a tag with the dealer’s name and the date of his graduation, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.

Santorini, Greece With its unique blue-roofed churches, whitewashed buildings and colorful beaches, the island is a dream place for photographers. Also, some archaeologically (考古地) significant sites are worth a visit. Locals like to say there’s more wine than water on the island where it doesn’t often rain. Machu Picchu, Peru As one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is one of the most-visited attractions in Peru. Visitors are particularly attracted by Temple of the Condor, a rock temple carved to look like the impressive bird in its name. Book tickets in advance, as only 2,500 people can visit Machu Picchu each day. Dubai, United Arab Emirates Everything is bigger and better in Dubai, which has various enjoyable sites, including water-parks, shopping malls and even an indoor ski spot. Though you’re likely to pay a pretty penny for a trip to Dubai, you can save a little cash by visiting during summer months. Maui Hawaii Maui is home to some of the island’s best-known attractions and beaches. Besides, you can explore the world’s largest volcano that’s resting, Haleakala. This is Hawaii, so your trip will be on the high-priced side. Maui has most beaches, with red, white and black sand. 1. What is Santorini like? A. A land of great drought. B. An ideal site for photographers. C. A place with wine history. D. A place full of archaeological sites. 2. What’s special about Machu Picchu? A. It has a temple named after a kind of bird. B. It’s the most attractive spot in Peru. C. It has a limitless number of visitors each day. D. It’s among Seven Wonders of Peru. 3. What do Dubai and Maui have in common? A. They offer indoor skiing activities. B. They cost large amounts of money. C. They have beaches with colored sand. D. They have the world’s largest volcano. B In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them. So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in. “We are totally dependent on ourselves,” Mr. Allen said. “But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.” Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents instead of government agencies, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people. Although not the cure- all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. “If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert. For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away. 4.

People like Allens gather to live in a special place for shared elderly caring. B. The government arranges necessary services for people like Allens. C. Senior people give up “aging in place” life mainly out of pressure from children. D. “Aging in place” people pay to have necessary service staff on call. 6. The underlined word precipitous in the passage is closest in meaning to ________. A. alternative B. fake C. rushed D. joint 7. Which of the following is probably the title of the passage? A. US grey band fights to stay at home B. Attention, US seniors are suffering C. At home vs Nursing home-a hard choice for US seniors D. US adult children, it’s time to care for your parents C In 1879, an 8-year-old girl made a discovery that would rock our understanding of human history. On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans’ supposedly primitive ancestors. Today, nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils (模板), strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists. The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modern humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago, as part of a “cultural explosion” reflecting a flowering of the human mind. But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What’s more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity. Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi Indonesia, contain many painted images. Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000 years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art. Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time. This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. “When we found that image, we were absolutely delighted, but when it turned out to be that old, we were almost jumping with joy,” says Adam Brumm, also at Griffith University. 8. What did the girl find in the cave? A. Wild animals. B. Ancient images. C. Painting techniques. D. Recording artists. 9. What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art? A. It can be traced back to Europe. B. It reflected the flowering of human minds. C. Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia. D. Modern humans might not have been real artists. 10. What does the underlined word “upended” mean in paragraph 3? A. Proved. B. Strengthened. C. Overturned. D. Overemphasized. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The amazing discoveries. B. The researchers’ expectations. C. The benefits of the technique. D. The description of the cave art. D Until recently, gravitational waves could have been the stuff of Einstein’s imagination. Before they were detected, these waves in space time existed only in the physicist’s general theory of relativity, as far as scientists knew. Now, researchers are on the hunt for more ways to detect the waves. “The study of gravitational waves is booming,” says astrophysicist Karan Jani of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. “This is just remarkable. No field I can think of in fundamental physics has seen progress this fast.” Just as light comes in a variety of wavelengths, so do gravitational waves. Different wave lengths point to different types of origins of the universe and require different kinds of detectors. Gravitational waves with wavelengths of a few thousand kilometers — like those detected by the United States, Italy and Japan — come mostly from pairs of black holes 10 or so times the mass of the sun, or from collisions of dense cosmic blocks called neutron stars (中子星). These detectors could also spot waves from certain types of exploding stars and rapidly moving neutron stars. In contrast, huge waves that span light-years are thought to be created by orbiting pairs of bigger black holes with masses billions of times that of the sun. In June, scientists reported the first strong evidence of these types of waves by turning the entire galaxy (星系) into a detector, watching how the waves make slight changes to the timing of regular blinks from neutron stars throughout the Milky Way. Physicists now hope to dive into a vast, cosmic ocean of gravitational waves of all sorts of sizes. These waves could reveal new details about the secret lives of exotic objects such as black holes and unknown parts of the universe. Physicist Jason Hogan of Stanford University thinks there are still a lot of gaps in the coverage of wavelengths. “But it makes sense to cover all the bases. Who knows what else we may find?” he says. The search for capturing the full complement of the universe’s gravitational waves exactly could take observatories out into the moon, to the atomic area and elsewhere. 12. What does Karan Jani think of the current study on gravitational waves? A. It is rapid and pioneering. B. It is slow but steadily increasing. C. It is interrupted due to limited detectors. D. It is progressing as fast as any other field. 13. What do the detected gravitational waves mostly indicate? A. The creation of different kinds of detectors. B. Collisions of planets outside the solar system. C. The presence of light in different wavelengths. D. Activities involving black holes and neutron stars. 14. How did scientists manage to find huge waves’ evidence? A. By analyzing sunlight. B. By locating the new galaxy. C. By using the whole galaxy as a tool. D. By observing the sun’s regular movement. 15. What can be inferred about the future study according to the last paragraph? A. It’ll exclude the atomic field. B. It’ll focus exactly on the mapping of the galaxy. C. It’ll require prioritizing certain wavelengths on the moon. D. It’ll explore potential places to detect gravitational waves. 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。 Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.____16____Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do. ____17____People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.____18____For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.____19____ In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem.____20____ Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health. A. It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either. B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect. C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations. D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind. E. As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well. F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking. G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Devin Lee is a high school chemistry teacher in Washington D.
