Have you ever heard about Alice Moore? She 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 supersweet 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 toothfriendly. She also consulted 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 reliability as an 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 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 AilieCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Alice Moore为了制作一种能够保护孩子们牙齿的糖,她积极行动,创办了自己的公司——AilieCandy的故事。
4.How did Moore respond to her dad's warning?
A.She tried to find a way out.
B.She argued with him.
C.She paid no attention.
D.She chose to consult dentists.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“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?””(所以她想解决这个警告,“为什么我不能做一种健康的糖果,对我的牙齿有好处,这样我的父母就不会不让我吃糖了?”)可知,对于爸爸的警告,Moore尝试找到解决的办法,故选A。
5.What is special about CanCandy?
A.It is sweeter than other candies.
B.It is free of sweeteners.
C.It is beneficial to dental health.
D.It is produced to a dentists' recipe.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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 toothfriendly. She also consulted 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.”(在她父亲的允许下,她花了两年时间在网上搜索,并进行试验,以得到一个既美味又对牙齿有益的食谱。她还咨询了牙医,以了解更多关于牙齿清洁的知识。结果,她成功地用天然甜味剂制作了一种糖果,可以减少口腔细菌。)可知,CanCandy的特别之处在于,它对牙齿健康有好处,故选C。
6.What does the underlined word “secure” mean?
A.hear about. B.make sure.
C.take away. D.set off.
解析:选B 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“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.”(Moore然后用她的积蓄使她的生意起步。之后,她和父亲与一位超市老板secured__ 第一次商业会面,后来这位老板最终同意出售Moore的产品——Cancandy。)可知,在与超市老板的第一次商业会面中,超市老板最终同意出售Moore的糖果,这是由于Moore和父亲确保了这次会议的顺利进行,由此可知,划线单词“secured”意思是“确保”,与B选项“make sure”意思一样,A.hear about听说;C.take away带走;D.set off出发,均不符,故选B。
7.What can we learn from Alice Moore's story?
A.A youth is to be regarded with respect.
B.Fame is a great thirst of the young.
C.Success means getting personal desires satisfied.
D.Positive thinking and action result in success.
解析:选D 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Have you ever heard about Alice Moore? She 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 supersweet treat that could save kids' teeth, instead of destroying them.”(你听说过Alice Moore吗?她是个青少年企业家,在2015年5月创立了自己的企业AilieCandy。在她13岁的时候,她的公司因为发明了一种超级甜食,而价值数百万美元,这种甜食可以保护孩子们的牙齿,而不是毁掉他们的牙齿。)可知,文章主要讲了Alice Moore为了制作一种能够保护孩子们牙齿的糖,她积极行动,创办了自己的事业——AilieCandy的故事。所以从Alice Moore的故事中我们可知,Alice Moore从最初产生的积极想法,到开始付诸行动,最后取得了成功,所以D选项“Positive thinking and action result in success.”(积极的想法和行动成就了成功。)符合,故选D。

Dry January has some runningrelated roots. Back in 2011, a woman living in the U. K. named Emily Robinson signed up for her first half marathon. In preparation for the race, she decided to cut out alcohol—specifically during her January training, creating a dry month. Her experiment was a success: She reported losing weight, feeling increased energy, and sleeping better. But the Dry January tradition can be traced further back to 1942—Finland started the program Raitis Tammikuu to aid in the war effort against the Soviet Union.
Thanks to these two events, Dry January has become a global phenomenon, with millions participating each year.
Why would you do such a thing during the longest, darkest, coldest month of the year? Beyond strengthening a New Year's resolution, perhaps you want to explore a new you in the new year. Some unexpected benefits may come of this, too, like improved running performance. You might even start a trend in your friend circle or discover new ways to spend your free time. The benefits of taking on a Dry January challenge are endless: eating less junk food, improved digestion, healthierlooking skin, better sleep, the ability to complete harder workouts, and clearheadedness.
It's fair to say that most elements in alcoholic cocktails aren't packed with protein, nor are they high in fiber or loaded with vitamins—so, when you cut out alcohol during Dry January, you're cutting out unneeded calories that contain little nutritional value.
In the absence of alcohol, you may notice you have more energy for physical activities, especially running. So not only will cutting out cocktails get rid of missed workouts, actually making it to the gym or a run helps release endorphins, which create happy feelings.
“Lessening alcohol can be a helpful way for clients to achieve physical and emotional health because it helps us be more awake in our lives,” says Sadie Kurzban, CEO and founder of 305 Fitness.

The French Danone company is the latest to replace some plastic water bottles with aluminum (铝) cans. Competitors like CocaCola, PepsiCo and Nestle have also started selling water in aluminum cans.
Replacing plastic water bottles that pollute the seas with recyclable aluminum cans should be an easy way to help the environment, right?
Maybe not.
Aluminum cans might result in less ocean waste, and the metal containers also are lighter than glass or plastic bottles, but they also come with their own cost to the environment. The production of an aluminum can is estimated to release two times as much carbon dioxide into the air as a plastic bottle.
“That's the dilemma you're going to have to choose between,” said Ruben Griffioen, an official at beermaker Heineken. He said his company was trying to reduce the use of plastic bottles.
Bruce Karas of CocaCola North America agreed. He said, “There's a mix. There are some things that are not that desirable, but if you have five good things and one that isn't, we'll all have to make decisions.” He added, “It'll never be that clean.”
Bottled water is a 19 billion industry. Although its use of cans is increasing, experts say cans are unlikely to completely replace plastic bottles.
Aluminum is costlier than plastic so canned drinks mean higher prices for buyers. Another major consideration is user conveniencecans stay open while bottles can be reclosed. More importantly, there is one barrier to ending the use of plastic water bottles: There may not be enough cans to go around. Beer and wine makers are now also increasingly using aluminum.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了铝罐代替塑料或玻璃瓶的优势,如铝罐可能会减少海洋垃圾,金属容器也比玻璃或塑料瓶轻,但它们也会给环境带来代价,文章还说明了使用铝罐的一些局限性。
12.What's the advantage of aluminum cans?
A.They are pollutionfree.
B.They are lighter.
C.They are costeffective.
D.They are lowcarbon.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中Aluminum cans might result in less ocean waste, and the metal containers also are lighter than glass or plastic bottles, but they also come with their own cost to the environment. (铝罐可能会减少海洋垃圾,金属容器也比玻璃或塑料瓶轻,但它们也会给环境带来代价)可知铝罐的优点是它们更轻。故选B。
13.What is Karas's attitude to replacing plastic bottles with aluminum cans?
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.
C.Neutral. D.Indifferent.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段第一句Bruce Karas of CocaCola North America agreed. (来自北美可口可乐公司的Bruce Karas对此表示赞同)可知Karas对用铝罐代替塑料瓶持支持态度。故选A。
14.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The wide application of aluminum cans.
B.The promising future aluminum cans.
C.The major advantages of aluminum cans.
D.The unavoidable limitations of aluminum cans.
解析:选D 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中More importantly, there is one barrier to ending the use of plastic water bottles: There may not be enough cans to go around.(更重要的是,停止使用塑料水瓶有一个障碍:可能没有足够的罐子)结合本段主要说明了铝罐的造价高和数量不够等一些不可避免的局限性,故选D。
15.What is the best title for the text?
A.Aluminum Cans or Plastic Bottles?
B.A Blessing or a Misfortune?
C.How to Deal with Plastic Bottles?
D.Why Do We Choose Aluminum Cans?
解析:选A 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段Replacing plastic water bottles that pollute the seas with recyclable aluminum cans should be an easy way to help the environment, right? (用可回收的铝罐代替污染海洋的塑料水瓶应该是一种帮助环境的简单方法,对吗?) 文章主要说明了铝罐代替塑料或玻璃瓶的优势,如铝罐可能会减少海洋垃圾,金属容器也比玻璃或塑料瓶轻,但它们也会给环境带来代价,文章还说明了使用铝罐的一些局限性。故A选项“铝罐还是塑料瓶?”最符合文章标题。故选A。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Recently, Chinese people from all walks of life 36.______ (discover)their daily lives are filled with an academic term; involution(内卷). In agricultural economics, involution originally means that 37.________ (add) work is put into agricultural production for higher output,38.________ yet doesn't increase proportionally(成比例地).
Our society is becoming increasingly competitive when population outgrows resources. Accordingly,39.________ we used to achieve easily requires more efforts now. The level of competition we have in our society is often compared to millions of troops 40.________ (cross) a single wooden bridge. The 41.________ (major) of us are trying hard to get ahead of the troops.
Netizens now use involution to describe their current conditions, especially in the study of children. Parents feel stressed 42.________ (provide) their children with the best, and children must keep 43.________ in the race.

Too much pressure is bound to do harm to children physically and mentally. Parents should cool down firstly and relieve their own anxiety, taking 45.________ (measure) to rid their children of heavy burden from involution.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲述在竞争力越来越大的中国,“内卷”这个词淋漓尽致体现出了人们的现状,尤其是现在的孩子们的学习上。作者建议父母们应该首先冷静下来并且放松自己的紧张情绪,采取措施让孩子们摆脱内卷所带来的繁重压力。
36.have discovered 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:最近,各行各业的中国人都发现她们的日常生活充满了一个专业术语:内卷。根据句子结构和意思可知,句子的时间状语是“Recently”,所以这里考查现在完成时的谓语动词。主语是“Chinese people”,所以助动词用have。故填have discovered。
37.additional 考查形容词。句意:在农业经济上,内卷原来的意思是,为了更高的产量投入额外的劳动却没有成比例的提升。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查形容词修饰后面的名词“work”,做定语。故填additional。
38.which 考查定语从句。句意:见第37题。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查定语从句。先行词是“output”,在非限制性定语从句“yet doesn't increase proportionally”中作主语,指物。故填which。
39.what 考查主语从句。句意:因此,我们过去很容易就能实现的事情现在需要付出更多的努力。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查主语从句。从句“we used to achieve easily”中缺少动词“achieve”的宾语,指物,“什么”的意思。故填what。
40.crossing 考查非谓语动词。句意:我们在现代社会的竞争水平经常被比作百万大军过独木桥。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查现在分词做后置定语,修饰前面的名词“millions of troops”,和动词“cross”是逻辑上的主谓关系。故填crossing。
41.majority 考查固定短语。句意:我们大部分人都在努力跑在大军的前面。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查固定短语“the majority of”表示“大部分”的意思。故填majority。
42.to provide 考查非谓语动词。句意:父母们因要给孩子们提供最好的条件而感到有压力,并且孩子们必须要在这场比赛中不掉队。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查动词不定式做原因状语,修饰系表结构“feel stressed”。故填to provide。
43.up 考查固定短语。句意:见第42题。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查固定短语“keep up”表示“保持不掉队”的意思。故填up。
44.harder 考查形容词。句意:虽然他们也很努力,但是他们发现考上他们期待的大学很难。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查形容词比较级做宾语补足语,被“much”修饰,对形式宾语“it”补充说明。故填harder。
45.measures 考查固定短语。句意:父母们应该首先冷静下来并且放松自己的紧张情绪,采取措施让孩子们摆脱内卷所带来的繁重压力。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查固定短语“take measures”表示“采取措施”的意思。故填measures。

Fortune Cookie Friends
Jenny frowned (皱眉)as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a dumb idea,”Jenny complained mostly to herself
“What's that?” Her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots.
“Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝).The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know, and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Jenny's parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny's age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny ducked her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
Jenny's mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.
“Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers.”
“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There are kids from school!”
“So?” her mother asked. “That's good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” She said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read: “Many friends are found with a single.”

参考答案:
Jenny absently read the fortune cookie paper. She suddenly realized something. She grabbed a handful of fortune cookies that they gave out after every meal, but first she tore open a wrapper and cracked a cookie open for herself. She popped a sweet, crunchy piece in her mouth. Then, she put a handful of cookies into a small tray and left the kitchen. Jenny sighed. Mustering up her courage, she approached the table where the twins and their parents were finishing their meal.
She placed the cookies down, and bravely looked the girls in the eyes. “Thank you for coming to our restaurant!” Jenny said with a smile. “Oh, fortune cookies, I love these!” cried one of the girls, reaching for the tray. The other sister looked at Jennie carefully and her eyes lit up with recognition. Then they introduced themselves to each other. Everyone was very happy and they talked a lot about their school and classmates. Later they made an appointment to hang out together. Jenny tried to downplay the swell of happiness she felt, but she wasn't succeeding.
