Danube River, Europe Experience Europe by booking your family on a Danube River Cruise to have a great trip with your college-age kids. You can visit eight cities in four different countries as you cruise from Germany to Hungary, having a peep into European history and culture. New York City, New York If your college-going kids are into theater, a visit to New York City’s Broadway will be the perfect family vacation destination you can gift them. There is some new show that’s happening there always and could even be on the bucket list of the young adults in your family!

See Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in his West End home, and then proceed to the Palace Theatre. Kruger National Park, South Africa South Africa’s Kruger National Park covers nearly two million hectares of land with a wide diversity of life forms along with historical and archaeological sights. The Cape buffalo, African elephant, leopard, the fish eagle and Marula trees are within sight.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个适合大学毕业生旅行的目的地，并对这些目的地的各项指标进行了评分。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“South Africa’s Kruger National Park covers nearly two million hectares of land with a wide diversity of life forms along with historical and archaeological sights. The Cape buffalo, African elephant, leopard, the fish eagle and Marula trees are within sight.(南非的克鲁格国家公园占地近两百万公顷，拥有丰富多样的生命形态以及历史和考古遗址。非洲水牛、非洲象、豹、鱼鹰和马鲁拉树都在视线之内)”可知，克鲁格国家公园是动物爱好者的首选。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干concern travelers to New York City most，可在表格中对数据进行纵向比较，safety只有3.5/5，因此安全问题应是最让游客担心的。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Danube River，Europe中出现的“your family, your college-age kids(你的家庭，你上大学的孩子)”；New York City，New York中出现的“your college-going kids(你上大学的孩子)”及London, England中出现的“your young ones(你的孩子)”可推知，这篇文章针对的是高中毕业生的父母。故选B。 B My teenage daughter, Lily, is obsessed with the character Eleven from Netflix’s Stranger Things. Sandwiched between two brothers, Lily is rough at times, what back in my day people called a tomboy, more into climbing trees than quietly playing with dolls indoors. For a while, I feared, even with all the messages about “girls can do anything” on TV and T-shirts, she was starting to think girls were stupid. Then along came Stranger Things, with its tongue-tied and bald (光头) rebel who can destroy trains and cars with the power of her mind. For the most part, I’m thrilled that Lily wants to be Eleven, who is the rare young heroine, equally brilliant and raw, and has perseverance and hope, with a desire for human connection and the skill to battle the evil. She is an enormous step up from my childhood girl idol (崇拜对象), including all six ladies in Charlie’s Angels and the Lynda Carter version of Wonder Woman, who are all competitive and smart. But it’s interesting to me that my daughter lit upon a character whose primary emotion is this massive anger and whose main role in the show consists of learning to channel her anger to defeat a dark force. Is Lily seeing what she longs for or identifies with? If she had such powers, what would she want to do? Parents everywhere understand there is a mental-health crisis among young people. Girls, especially are losing hope. We just don’t know how or even what to fix. Maybe Eleven can give these girls a blueprint, or faith that they can one day be in charge again. Maybe she can encourage those girls to fight back. Somewhere deep down, they sense that rage is exactly the right thing to feel. And why waste that passion pounding doors and cursing (咒骂) brothers when their anger could be employed to achieve far greater things? For our daughters, Eleven lays out a path into the future. Simply being ambitious and resourceful is no longer enough. Circumstances are calling for a new sort of heroism, one with a brain powerful enough to make the best of her anger. 4. What can we know about Lily from paragraph 2? A. She considers girls foolish. B. She has supernatural power. C. She is obsessed with TV dramas. D. She behaves boyishly sometimes. 5. Why is the author interested in her daughter’s idol? A. She is a true heroine with strength and hope. B. She differs from the author’s childhood idols. C The author doubts if Lily really relates to Eleven. D. The author isn’t sure if she is a suitable role model. 6. What can be inferred in paragraph 4? A. Girls avoid communicating with families. B. Girls’ anger is unhealthy and needs controlling. C. Girls’ anger shows deeper unresolved problems. D. Girls are angry because they follow TV characters. 7. Which of the following might be the author’s advice for young girls? A. They should not be angry with others. B. They should make the best of their anger. C. They should have their own idols to follow. D. They should value ambition and resourcefulness. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇个人随笔。围绕女儿Lily痴迷《怪奇物语》中的Eleven这一角色展开，探讨愤怒情绪在女孩成长中的价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lily is rough at times, what back in my day people called a tomboy, more into climbing trees than quietly playing with dolls indoors (Lily有时很粗犷，在我那个年代人们会称她为假小子，比起在室内安静地玩娃娃，她更喜欢爬树)”可知，Lily有时表现得像男孩一样。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But it’s interesting to me that my daughter lit upon a character whose primary emotion is this massive anger (但让我觉得有意思的是，我女儿偏偏钟情于一个以“强烈愤怒”为主要情感特质的角色)”以及“Is Lily seeing what she longs for or identifies with? If she had such powers, what would she want to do? (Lily是看到了她渴望或认同的东西吗？如果她有这种能力，她想做什么？)”可知，作者对女儿选择这样一位愤怒的角色作为偶像感到好奇并有所疑问，怀疑莉莉是否真的与这个角色产生共鸣。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Girls, especially are losing hope. We just don’t know how or even what to fix. (尤其是女孩正在失去希望。我们只是不知道如何解决，甚至不知道该做什么)”及“Somewhere deep down, they sense that rage is exactly the right thing to feel. (在内心深处，她们觉得愤怒是合理的情绪)”可推知，女孩的愤怒背后隐藏着未解决的深层问题。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Circumstances are calling for a new sort of heroism, one with a brain powerful enough to make the best of her anger. (当下需要一种新的英雄主义，即拥有足够智慧去充分利用自己愤怒的英雄主义)”可知，作者建议年轻女孩善用自己的愤怒。故选B项。 C In the 10 years since the book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness was published, the idea of nudging people to make better decisions has become mainstream in everything from government to public health to personal habits. A nudge is a way of skillfully influencing choices without actually forbidding anything. One of the examples in the book is the cafeteria that nudged diners into healthy eating habits by placing fruits and other healthy snacks at eye level, while putting chips and ice cream in harder-to-reach spots. No one was prevented from seeking out their favorite junk food, but the setup of the offerings encouraged diners to choose apple slices instead. But even though nudges have proven successful in several fields, they’re not perfect. In fact, nudges don’t always work and can sometimes even backfire. Here’s why nudges aren’t always the best way to go about changing your habits — strong preferences. I’m a crazy reader. I’m at the library as often as twice a week. Despite this, I carry an average overdue fine balance of close to $10 at any one time. Over the years, I’ve tried various nudges to improve my on-time return rate. I’ve left books on the table by the door, left books in my car, and I’ve even placed “return library books” on my work to-do list. Not a single one of these nudges has worked. What’s going on here is that my preexisting preferences are far stronger than my nudges to return the books. Strong preferences can also help explain some phenomenon of the patients. No matter what nudges the medical professional has attempted to use to improve patient compliance (服从), many patients have such a strong preexisting preference to maintain their old eating and exercise habits that they’ll simply ignore their doctor’s recommendations. Even when it comes to taking medication, the preference to not take it is greater than even some financial nudges that pay patients to obey. Though nudges can help to improve habits, they will not overcome strong preferences. 8. Which of the following belongs to a nudge? A. Customers’ shopping habits. B. The volume of background music. C. A salesman’s strong recommendation. D. Fresh fruit placed at the front of a store. 9. What does the author’s experience illustrate? A. Book loving can be a crazy thing. B. Bad habits are always formed little by little. C. More importance should be attached to nudging. D. The nudging is not always as effective as we expect. 10. Why do nudges not work well on patients? A. Old habits are too strong. B. Patients don’t understand nudges. C. Doctors prefer to force patients to obey. D. Nudges are not creative and professional. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce the main idea of a book. B. To offer a way of making better choices. C. To demonstrate the shortcomings of an idea. D. To present the background of an experience. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“助推”概念，即巧妙影响选择，在多领域应用且有成效，但并不完美。通过作者和患者的例子说明，强烈偏好会使“助推”有时失效，还指出其存在局限性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A nudge is a way of skillfully influencing choices without actually forbidding anything. One of the examples in the book is the cafeteria that nudged diners into healthy eating habits by placing fruits and other healthy snacks at eye level, while putting chips and ice cream in harder-to-reach spots.(助推是一种巧妙地影响选择而不实际禁止任何事情的方式。书中的一个例子是自助餐厅，通过将水果和其他健康零食放在与眼睛平齐的位置，而将薯片和冰淇淋放在更难拿到的地方，引导食客养成健康的饮食习惯。)”可知，将新鲜水果放在商店前面属于助推的方式，因为它通过调整物品的摆放位置来影响顾客的选择。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Here’s why nudges aren’t always the best way to go about changing your habits — strong preferences. I’m a crazy reader. I’m at the library as often as twice a week. Despite this, I carry an average overdue fine balance of close to $10 at any one time. Over the years, I’ve tried various nudges to improve my on-time return rate. I’ve left books on the table by the door, left books in my car, and I’ve even placed ‘return library books’ on my work to-do list. Not a single one of these nudges has worked. What’s going on here is that my preexisting preferences are far stronger than my nudges to return the books.(这就是为什么助推并不总是改变习惯的最佳方式——强烈的偏好。我是个疯狂的读者。我每周去图书馆的次数多达两次。尽管如此，我平均每次都有近10美元的逾期罚款。多年来，我尝试了各种助推方法来提高我的按时归还率。我把书放在门边的桌子上，把书留在车里，我甚至把“归还图书馆的书”列在我的工作待办事项清单上。这些助推方法没有一个奏效。这里的情况是，我现有的偏好远比我归还书籍的助推强烈。)”可知，作者以自己的经历为例，说明尽管尝试了各种助推方法，但都没有效果，因为自己的偏好太强烈了，这表明助推并不总是像我们期望的那样有效。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Strong preferences can also help explain some phenomenon of the patients. No matter what nudges the medical professional has attempted to use to improve patient compliance (服从), many patients have such a strong preexisting preference to maintain their old eating and exercise habits that they’ll simply ignore their doctor’s recommendations.(强烈的偏好也有助于解释病人的一些现象。无论医疗专业人员尝试用什么助推方法来提高病人的依从性，许多病人都有如此强烈的预先存在的偏好，即保持他们原来的饮食和锻炼习惯，以至于他们会简单地忽略医生的建议。)”可知，助推对病人效果不佳是因为旧习惯太强烈了。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In the 10 years since the book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness was published, the idea of nudging people to make better decisions has become mainstream in everything from government to public health to personal habits.(自《助推：改善健康、财富和幸福的决策》一书出版以来的10年里，助推人们做出更好决策的想法已经成为从政府到公共卫生再到个人习惯等各个领域的主流。)”以及第三段“But even though nudges have proven successful in several fields, they’re not perfect. In fact, nudges don’t always work and can sometimes even backfire.(但是，尽管助推在几个领域已经被证明是成功的，但它们并不完美。事实上，助推并不总是有效，有时甚至会适得其反。)”以及后文作者通过自身经历和病人情况进一步说明助推的不足可知，文章的目的是展示助推这一想法的缺点。故选C项。 D Farming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature, wetness, air quality and nutrition. It could be a high-rise building in New York or a sprawling complex in the Saudi desert. It may be an answer to the world’s food problems. The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half of the people on earth live in cities, and nearly half of those — about 3 billion — are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more unstable. Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts of the world are already using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded: by mid-century, the global hungry population will grow to 9 billion. To feed such a large population, people may need to expand farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness, or find ways to completely increase crop output. Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of greenhouse-growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed and controlled environments. In their research station, water flows into the pans when needed, and temperature is kept constant. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night according to the rhythm of the plants. A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 kilograms of fresh fruit and vegetables for the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea is not to grow foods that require much space, like corn, or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful: Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than those under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near consumers, so there’s no need to transport it long distances. 12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. Urbanization affects food prices. B. Global food security is in trouble. C. Farmers make the most of energy. D. The world’s population is expanding. 13. The underlined word “buffeted” in Paragraph 2 means “________”. A. Badly affected B. Sharply reduced C. Steadily raised D. Well achieved 14. What can be inferred about Gertjan Meeuws’s farming? A. Limited but efficient. B. Scientific but ineffective. C. Productive and economical. D. Eco-friendly and manageable. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A great revolution in farming. B. Advantages of indoor farming. C. The development of indoor farming. D. Sunless and rainless indoor farming. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出世界粮食供应面临困境，而室内农业或许是解决之道，介绍了Gertjan Meeuws的室内种植理念，其高效节水，能有效应对粮食问题。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中提到的“Half of the people on earth live in cities, and nearly half of those — about 3 billion — are hungry or ill-fed. (地球上有一半的人住在城市，其中近一半——约30亿——处于饥饿或营养不良状态)”，这表明了粮食供应不足的问题；“Food prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. (食品价格目前呈上涨趋势，同时还受到干旱、洪水以及种植、收获和运输过程中所需能源成本等因素的影响)”以及“Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain.(气候变化使长期的作物规划变得不确定)”和“Farmers in many parts of the world are already using water available to the last drop.(世界许多地方的农民已经在用最后一滴水)”进一步说明了全球粮食安全正面临严重问题。因此，第二段主要告诉我们全球粮食安全陷入困境，选项B“Global food security is in trouble. (全球粮食安全正面临危机)”能够概括本段主要内容。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Food prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it.(食品价格目前呈上涨趋势，同时还受到干旱、洪水以及种植、收获和运输过程中所需能源成本等因素的buffeted)”可知，食品价格受到干旱、洪水和能源成本的冲击，这意味着食品价格受到了这些因素的严重影响。由此可知，划线词buffeted与选项A“Badly affected(受到严重影响)”的意思相近。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 kilograms of fresh fruit and vegetables for the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. (一座100平方米、14层的建筑可以为丹博斯（约14万人）的全体居民提供每天200公斤的新鲜水果和蔬菜)”以及最后一段“Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful: Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than those under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near consumers, so there’s no need to transport it long distances. (在这里，阳光不仅不必要，而且可能有害：植物只需要特定波长的光来生长。它们的生长速度比温室条件下的植物快三倍。它们比户外农业用水量少90%。城市农业意味着在消费者附近生产食物，因此无需长途运输)”可知，Gertjan Meeuws的农业模式产量高，用水少，且无需长途运输。由此推知，他的农业模式虽然规模有限，但是非常高效。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了Gertjan Meeuws等人提出的室内农业模式，这种模式在无阳光、无雨水的环境下进行，通过控制光照、温度、湿度等条件来种植作物。文章详细描述了这种农业模式的优点，如高产、节水、无需长途运输等，并指出这可能是解决世界粮食问题的一种方法。由此可知，文章的主要内容是关于无阳光、无雨水的室内农业。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。 Leave-No-Trace Camping For those of us who love spending time in the great outdoors, wild spaces are very special. These are places we visit to recharge, or to fill our hearts with natural beauty.___16___If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping. Its principles are to treat the wilderness the way a decent visitor would and leave everything just as you found it, with no evidence that you passed through.___17___That’s because your visit makes a minimal impact on the environment. You can carry out these ideals in a number of ways. Begin by packing out all your litter. Whenever you go camping, take an empty trash bag with you and put all garbage into the bag. In addition, try not to damage vegetation.___18___Wherever you go, think about what your heavy shoes or boots are doing to the plants underneath and try to keep damage to a minimum. It’s also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape.___19___Plus, many animals find homes and food in abandoned shells and flower-heads, and these are things they would miss if you collected them. Leave-No-Trace camping is about being respectful and thoughtful. It’s about honoring the natural world and the creatures that live in it. If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers, then you’ve already taken the first step.___20___ A. This means not stepping into a wild animal’s space. B. This is also called “low impact” or “no impact” camping. C. Once taken away, they won’t be there for others to enjoy. D. An increasing number of people take up camping in the wilderness. E. When you put up your tent, try to find a place that’s already bare of plants. F. We hate to see them littered with rubbish or any reminders of previous visitors. G. Follow these basic practices and you can be models of the Leave-No-Trace philosophy. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. E 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了践行“不留痕迹”露营的注意事项。 【16题详解】 下文“If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.(如果你有这种感觉，那么你就是推广和实践“不留痕迹”露营的最佳人选)”说明了一种条件，故上文需要指明“feel this way”是什么感觉，F项“We hate to see them littered with rubbish or any reminders of previous visitors.(我们不愿看到它们到处都是垃圾，也不愿看到任何提醒我们以前来过的人的东西)”照应下文“feel this way”，衔接恰当。故选F项。 【17题详解】 下文“That’s because your visit makes a minimal impact on the environment.(这是因为你的参观对环境的影响很小)”指明了一件事情的原因，B项“This is also called “low impact” or “no impact” camping.(这也被称为“低影响”或“无影响”露营)”中的“This”照应上文“Leave-No-Trace camping”，并与下文构成因果关系，因为你的参观对环境的影响很小，所以它又被称为“低影响”或“无影响”露营。故选B项。 【18题详解】 上文“In addition, try not to damage vegetation.(另外，尽量不要破坏植被)”说明露营时，要保护植被，E项“When you put up your tent, try to find a place that’s already bare of plants.(当你搭帐篷的时候，尽量找一个没有植物的地方)”用具体的事例说明如何做到不破坏植被，衔接恰当。故选E项。 【19题详解】 上文“It’s also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape.(同样重要的是，你不应该从野外拿走东西。岩石、植物、花朵和贝壳都是自然景观的一部分)”说明不应该带走野外生长的东西，C项“Once taken away, they won’t be there for others to enjoy.(一旦被拿走，别人就无法再那里欣赏到它们了)”衔接上文，说明带走野外生长的东西会导致的结果，“they”指代上文“Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells”，符合句意。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文“If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers, then you’ve already taken the first step.(如果你喜欢看一条未受污染的山间溪流或一片美丽的野花，那么你已经迈出了第一步)”说明有欣赏自然之美的心就是实践“不留痕迹”露营的第一步，G项“Follow these basic practices and you can be models of the Leave-No-Trace philosophy.(遵循这些基本做法，你就可以成为践行不留痕迹露营的典范)”段尾句总结了全文内容，“these basic practices”指代上文提到的一切尊重和体贴大自然的举动，并照应开头“If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.(如果你有这种感觉，那么你就是推广和实践“不留痕迹”露营的最佳人选)”符合句意。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。 Kwane Stewart, a devoted vet (兽医) in San Diego, had reached a point of burnout in his career.

Alice, with her curious eyes sparkling, casually asked about my friendship with Judy. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I responded, “I only hung out with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen on being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind words just escaped my lips before I could catch them, like marbles rolling off a table. Little did I know, Judy had been just around the corner somehow. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in front of me, having accidentally overheard everything. All the color faded from her face. Her eyes widening with shock, without a word, she rushed off. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a look of shame and discomfort. I knew I should run after Judy and apologize, but with my mind blank, I was frozen. Alice’s face turned red, too. We walked home in silence, each step heavier than the last. The following days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible for what I’d said and was dying to mend our friendship. An honest apology was desperately needed. But what should I say? Unintentional as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls or during classes, I’d quickly look away. Fate threw me a curve ball in our speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas announced that we would be giving improvised(即兴的) speeches. He had written our topics on slips of paper and put them into a secret jar. Each of us was asked to blindly choose one without knowing what it would be about. I couldn’t say I was not nervous. As I reached into the jar of topics, my fingers closed around the slip that read, “Share your most embarrassing moment.” My heart pounded like a drum roll in my chest. It was as if the universe had come my way to give me a chance. 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。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. I took a deep breath and began. With my voice shaking, I spoke of my inconsiderate behaviour, deep regret and the upsetting result without exposing Judy’s name. After finishing my heartfelt speech, with sweat flowing down my face, I didn’t dare to expect my classmates’ response. To my surprise, they applauded for my sincerity. Even Mr. Thomas praised my courage to admit my fault and apologize publicly. Back to my seat, I stole a look at Judy and amazingly found she was also looking at me with tears. That day marked a turning point. Although Judy and I never directly talked about that unpleasant events, our interactions slowly returned to normal. We laughed and chatted again, as if a silent forgiveness had been granted. I was never proud of my bravery in that speech class. Instead, I knew for sure it was an experience to be modestly thankful for. Here are the lessons I have carried close to my heart ever since: Speaking ill of others plant seeds of regret and true friendships deserve the respect of honest words and open hearts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和爱丽丝闲谈时谈起不热衷和朱迪做朋友，恰好被朱迪听到，作者为自己的口不择言感到尴尬和后悔，在接下来的日子里想要修复和朱迪的关系。在托马斯先生的课堂上，作者抽到了一张纸条“分享你最尴尬的时刻”，作者认为这是一次机会，于是讲出了自己的这段经历，在演讲中勇于承认错误，从那之后，作者和朱迪的关系逐渐修复，作者也明白了什么是真诚的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“知道自己该说些什么后，我让自己冷静下来，向讲台走去。”可知，第一段可描写作者讲出了这段经历，同学们的反应，托马斯先生的赞扬及朱迪的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“那一天标志着一个转折点。”可知，第二段可描写作者和朱迪之间的关系逐渐恢复，作者也明白了什么是真诚的友谊。 2.续写线索：走向讲台——演讲自己经历——同学的反应，托马斯先生赞扬——朱迪的反应——重归于好——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②期待，预期：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②感激的：thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Danube River, Europe Experience Europe by booking your family on a Danube River Cruise to have a great trip with your college-age kids. You can visit eight cities in four different countries as you cruise from Germany to Hungary, having a peep into European history and culture. New York City, New York If your college-going kids are into theater, a visit to New York City’s Broadway will be the perfect family vacation destination you can gift them. There is some new show that’s happening there always and could even be on the bucket list of the young adults in your family! London, England If your young ones have been bitten by the Harry Potter bug, a visit to the Wizarding World in London will be irresistible for them.

Kruger National Park, South Africa South Africa’s Kruger National Park covers nearly two million hectares of land with a wide diversity of life forms along with historical and archaeological sights.

Parents. C. Travel bloggers. D. Tour guides. B My teenage daughter, Lily, is obsessed with the character Eleven from Netflix’s Stranger Things. Sandwiched between two brothers, Lily is rough at times, what back in my day people called a tomboy, more into climbing trees than quietly playing with dolls indoors. For a while, I feared, even with all the messages about “girls can do anything” on TV and T-shirts, she was starting to think girls were stupid. Then along came Stranger Things, with its tongue-tied and bald (光头) rebel who can destroy trains and cars with the power of her mind. For the most part, I’m thrilled that Lily wants to be Eleven, who is the rare young heroine, equally brilliant and raw, and has perseverance and hope, with a desire for human connection and the skill to battle the evil. She is an enormous step up from my childhood girl idol (崇拜对象), including all six ladies in Charlie’s Angels and the Lynda Carter version of Wonder Woman, who are all competitive and smart. But it’s interesting to me that my daughter lit upon a character whose primary emotion is this massive anger and whose main role in the show consists of learning to channel her anger to defeat a dark force. Is Lily seeing what she longs for or identifies with? If she had such powers, what would she want to do? Parents everywhere understand there is a mental-health crisis among young people. Girls, especially are losing hope. We just don’t know how or even what to fix. Maybe Eleven can give these girls a blueprint, or faith that they can one day be in charge again. Maybe she can encourage those girls to fight back. Somewhere deep down, they sense that rage is exactly the right thing to feel. And why waste that passion pounding doors and cursing (咒骂) brothers when their anger could be employed to achieve far greater things? For our daughters, Eleven lays out a path into the future. Simply being ambitious and resourceful is no longer enough. Circumstances are calling for a new sort of heroism, one with a brain powerful enough to make the best of her anger. 4. What can we know about Lily from paragraph 2? A. She considers girls foolish. B. She has supernatural power. C. She is obsessed with TV dramas. D. She behaves boyishly sometimes. 5. Why is the author interested in her daughter’s idol? A. She is a true heroine with strength and hope. B. She differs from the author’s childhood idols. C. The author doubts if Lily really relates to Eleven. D. The author isn’t sure if she is a suitable role model. 6. What can be inferred in paragraph 4? A. Girls avoid communicating with families. B. Girls’ anger is unhealthy and needs controlling. C. Girls’ anger shows deeper unresolved problems. D. Girls are angry because they follow TV characters. 7. Which of the following might be the author’s advice for young girls? A. They should not be angry with others. B. They should make the best of their anger. C They should have their own idols to follow. D. They should value ambition and resourcefulness. C In the 10 years since the book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness was published, the idea of nudging people to make better decisions has become mainstream in everything from government to public health to personal habits. A nudge is a way of skillfully influencing choices without actually forbidding anything. One of the examples in the book is the cafeteria that nudged diners into healthy eating habits by placing fruits and other healthy snacks at eye level, while putting chips and ice cream in harder-to-reach spots. No one was prevented from seeking out their favorite junk food, but the setup of the offerings encouraged diners to choose apple slices instead. But even though nudges have proven successful in several fields, they’re not perfect. In fact, nudges don’t always work and can sometimes even backfire. Here’s why nudges aren’t always the best way to go about changing your habits — strong preferences. I’m a crazy reader. I’m at the library as often as twice a week. Despite this, I carry an average overdue fine balance of close to $10 at any one time. Over the years, I’ve tried various nudges to improve my on-time return rate. I’ve left books on the table by the door, left books in my car, and I’ve even placed “return library books” on my work to-do list. Not a single one of these nudges has worked. What’s going on here is that my preexisting preferences are far stronger than my nudges to return the books. Strong preferences can also help explain some phenomenon of the patients. No matter what nudges the medical professional has attempted to use to improve patient compliance (服从) many patients have such a strong preexisting preference to maintain their old eating and exercise habits that they’ll simply ignore their doctor’s recommendations. Even when it comes to taking medication, the preference to not take it is greater than even some financial nudges that pay patients to obey. Though nudges can help to improve habits, they will not overcome strong preferences. 8. Which of the following belongs to a nudge? A Customers’ shopping habits. B. The volume of background music. C. A salesman’s strong recommendation. D. Fresh fruit placed at the front of a store. 9. What does the author’s experience illustrate? A. Book loving can be a crazy thing. B. Bad habits are always formed little by little. C. More importance should be attached to nudging. D. The nudging is not always as effective as we expect. 10. Why do nudges not work well on patients? A. Old habits are too strong. B. Patients don’t understand nudges. C. Doctors prefer to force patients to obey. D. Nudges are not creative and professional. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce the main idea of a book. B. To offer a way of making better choices. C. To demonstrate the shortcomings of an idea. D. To present the background of an experience. D Farming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature, wetness, air quality and nutrition. It could be a high-rise building in New York or a sprawling complex in the Saudi desert. It may be an answer to the world’s food problems. The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half of the people on earth live in cities, and nearly half of those — about 3 billion — are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more unstable. Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts of the world are already using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded: by mid-century, the global hungry population will grow to 9 billion. To feed such a large population, people may need to expand farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness, or find ways to completely increase crop output. Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of greenhouse-growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed and controlled environments. In their research station, water flows into the pans when needed, and temperature is kept constant. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night according to the rhythm of the plants. A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 kilograms of fresh fruit and vegetables for the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea is not to grow foods that require much space, like corn, or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful: Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than those under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near consumers, so there’s no need to transport it long distances. 12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. Urbanization affects food prices. B.

Badly affected B. Sharply reduced C. Steadily raised D. Well achieved 14. What can be inferred about Gertjan Meeuws’s farming? A. Limited but efficient. B. Scientific but ineffective. C. Productive and economical. D. Eco-friendly and manageable. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A great revolution in farming. B. Advantages of indoor farming. C. The development of indoor farming. D. Sunless and rainless indoor farming. 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。 Leave-No-Trace Camping For those of us who love spending time in the great outdoors, wild spaces are very special.

Alice, with her curious eyes sparkling, casually asked about my friendship with Judy. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I responded, “I only hung out with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen on being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind words just escaped my lips before I could catch them, like marbles rolling off a table. Little did I know, Judy had been just around the corner somehow. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in front of me, having accidentally overheard everything. All the color faded from her face. Her eyes widening with shock, without a word, she rushed off. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a look of shame and discomfort. I knew I should run after Judy and apologize, but with my mind blank, I was frozen. Alice’s face turned red, too. We walked home in silence, each step heavier than the last. The following days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible for what I’d said and was dying to mend our friendship. An honest apology was desperately needed. But what should I say? Unintentional as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls or during classes, I’d quickly look away. Fate threw me a curve ball in our speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas announced that we would be giving improvised(即兴) speeches. He had written our topics on slips of paper and put them into a secret jar. Each of us was asked to blindly choose one without knowing what it would be about. I couldn’t say I was not nervous. As I reached into the jar of topics, my fingers closed around the slip that read, “Share your most embarrassing moment.” My heart pounded like a drum roll in my chest. It was as if the universe had come my way to give me a chance. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
