Harper Lee (1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird (published in 1960), which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee’s only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of U.S. readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in the U.S. schools. In 2007 she was awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom for her contributions to literature.
Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she suggested that she was working on another story.
In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult.
Though Lee moved to New York in 1949, she spent many years guarding her privacy (隐私) in Monroeville, which served as the clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke (中风), but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. The countless Americans knew her only through her works, and they will undoubtedly miss her.
4. What can be learned about Harper Lee from the first two paragraphs?
A. She was regarded as the greatest writer in America.
B. She is the most popular writer in American schools in history.
C. She once starred in a film adapted from her own novel.
D. She made great contributions to American literature.
5. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?
A. She felt uneasy about her novel’s influence. B. She suffered a stroke and was in recovery.
C. She wanted to write another novel. D. She tried to get out of criticism.
6. What can we learn about Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman?
A. It is based on her own life story. B. It continues the story of her earlier novel.
C. It is adapted into a famous film. D. It won her lots of honors and awards.
7. What can best describe Harper Lee?
A. Inspiring but struggling. B. Caring but stubborn.
C. Influential but simple. D. Ill-tempered but productive.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C

Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.
Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here.
Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水).
To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.”
An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the country in the future to help fight poverty,” he says.
8. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph?
A. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills.
B. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique.
C To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm.
D. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique.
9. What can we know about the Wanbao project?
A. It offers farming technologies for locals. B. It teaches locals Chinese.
C. It plants trees in urban areas. D. It improves the local climate.
10. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Preparing. B. Selling. C. Growing. D. Pulling.
11. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found?
A. Travel. B. Art. C. Education. D. Agriculture.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民发展农业,实现脱贫。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. (在这里,如果人们会用中文说“你好”,他们肯定也知道另一个中文词汇万宝,这是一个中国水稻农场项目的名字。)”可知,作者提到“ni hao”是为了体现该项目在莫桑比克当地的受欢迎程度。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese.(为了获得好收成,农民们努力劳作,向中国人学习。)”以及““I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. (一位有五个孩子的母亲说:“我从水稻种植中获益良多,还学会了用中国技术在一公顷土地上种植水稻。”)”可知,万宝项目为当地人提供了农业技术。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares.(一位老农民现在甚至在教其他农民如何种植水稻。他正在40多公顷的土地上cultivating庄稼。)”可知,前一句提到这位老人教其他农民种水稻,后一句说他在40多公顷土地上cultivating crops,与种植水稻对应,因此cultivating意为“种植”,与Growing意义相近。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa.(农民们在农场里载歌载舞庆祝水稻丰收。这是万宝莫桑比克稻田,中国在非洲最大的水稻种植项目。)”并结合下文可知,本文主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民种植水稻,与农业有关,所以本文最有可能出自网站上的农业版块。故选D项。
D
More than 3 million square kilometers of the Asian elephant’s historic habitat range has been lost in just three centuries, a new report from an international scientific team led by a researcher at University of California San Diego reveals. This dramatic decline may underlie present-day conflicts between elephants and people, the authors argue.
Developing new insights from a unique data set that models land-use change over three centuries, the research team led by Shermin de Silva found that habitats suitable for Asian elephants have been cut by nearly two-thirds within the past 300 years.
The largest living land animal in Asia, endangered Asian elephants inhabited grasslands and rainforest ecosystems that once crossed the continent. Analyzing land-use data from the years 850 to 2015, the researchers describe in the journal Scientific Reports a troubling situation in which they estimate that more than 64% of historic suitable elephant habitat across Asia has been lost. While elephant habitats remained relatively stable prior to the 1700s, land-use practices in Asia, including forest decrease, farming and agriculture, cut the average habitat size more than 80%, from 99,000 to 16,000 square kilometers.
The study also suggests that the remaining elephant populations today may not have enough habitat areas. While 100% of the area within 100 kilometers of the current elephant range was considered suitable habitat in 1700, the proportion (比例) has since declined to less than 50% by 2015. This sets up a high potential for conflicts with people living in those areas as elephant populations change their behavior and adjust to more human-dominated spaces.
“In the 1600s and 1700s there is evidence of a dramatic change in land use, not just in Asia, but globally,” said de Silva, an assistant professor in the School of Biological Sciences’ Department of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution, and founder of the nonprofit Trunks & Leaves. “Around the world we see a really dramatic transformation that has serious consequences that last even to this day. “
12. What did the new report focus on?
A. Changes of the living habitats for Asian elephants.
B. The number of conflicts between elephants and people.
C. The measures taken for agricultural models of land-use.
D. Ways to deal with conflicts between man and animals.
13. What’s the main cause of elephant habitat loss?
A. The increase of elephant population.
B. People’s living styles in the past 300 years.
C. Endangered elephants’ bad health conditions.
D. Human activities in elephants’ ecosystems.
14. What’s de Silva’s attitude towards the environment?
A. Positive. B. Tolerant. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Conflicts between elephants and humans.
B. Loss of Asian elephants’ habitat range.
C. Human activities’ influence on Asian elephants.
D. Necessary change for elephant populations.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究显示,300年来亚洲象历史栖息地丧失超300万平方公里,约64%适宜栖息地消失,主要因森林减少、农业开发等人类活动,导致栖息地大幅缩小,并引发人象冲突。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“More than 3 million square kilometers of the Asian elephant’s historic habitat range has been lost in just three centuries, a new report from an international scientific team led by a researcher at University of California San Diego reveals. (由加州大学圣地亚哥分校的一名研究人员领导的一个国际科学小组的一份新报告显示,在短短三个世纪内,亚洲象的历史栖息地范围已经消失了300多万平方公里。)”可知,这份新报告关注的是亚洲象历史栖息地的变化。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“While elephant habitats remained relatively stable prior to the 1700s, land-use practices in Asia, including forest decrease, farming and agriculture, cut the average habitat size more than 80%, from 99,000 to 16,000 square kilometers. (虽然在18世纪之前,大象的栖息地保持相对稳定,但亚洲的土地使用做法,包括森林减少、农业和农业,使平均栖息地面积减少了80%以上,从99000平方公里减少到16000平方公里。)”可推知,大象生态系统中的人类活动是导致大象栖息地丧失的主要原因。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中de Silva所说的话“In the 1600s and 1700s there is evidence of a dramatic change in land use, not just in Asia, but globally (在17世纪和18世纪,有证据表明土地使用发生了巨大变化,不仅在亚洲,而且在全球范围内)”以及“Around the world we see a really dramatic transformation that has serious consequences that last even to this day. (在世界各地,我们看到了一场真正巨大的变化,其严重后果甚至持续到今天。)”可推知,de Silva对环境问题非常担忧。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“More than 3 million square kilometers of the Asian elephant’s historic habitat range has been lost in just three centuries, a new report from an international scientific team led by a researcher at University of California San Diego reveals. This dramatic decline may underlie present-day conflicts between elephants and people, the authors argue. (由加州大学圣地亚哥分校的一名研究人员领导的一个国际科学小组的一份新报告显示,在短短三个世纪内,亚洲象的历史栖息地范围已经消失了300多万平方公里。作者认为,这种急剧下降可能是当今大象和人类之间冲突的根源。)”可知,文章主要讲述了亚洲象历史栖息地的丧失情况。故选B。

Rising Above Fears: Tips to Overcome Our Fear
All of us are afraid of something in life--starting a new job, getting into a relationship, or even a trip to the dentist. ____16____. Here are the necessary steps to follow which will help us overcome our fear.
Notice how we feel. We need to be able to talk about our emotions, no matter how hard it is. This is the first step that we can take to overcome our fears. ____17____.

Mindfulness breathing can deactivate the body’s stress responses and help us calm down.
____19____. When we set our goals what is the biggest fear that we will face?
The fear of failure! It is very destructive but inevitable. We should only learn and grow from it. Actually, failure is a bigger motivator than success because it allows us to be better next time.
Apparently, fear is unpleasant but it is carried in our genes. It means that our survival instincts are working as they should be. When we are able to manage our fears,we will end up being happy. Our careers will flourish. ____20____
A. Get rid of failure.
B. Find acceptance in failure.
C. Being afraid is totally okay but we must learn to overcome it.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born in a small village where the mountains were our neighbors. My dad was a street vendor (小贩), who always told me that education was the way to make our lives better. So when I was 15, I did something amazing: I got the best grades in my school and entered the best high school in our city.
But the city was full of new challenges. I found it hard to fit in with my new classmates. They seemed to have so many interests and hobbies that I knew nothing about. I started to feel a bit left out.
Some of my classmates were really into a new type of trendy (时髦的) social media. They would constantly talk about the latest trends, the coolest posts, and how many likes they got. I felt that if I didn’t join them, I would be completely isolated (孤立的). So, I ended up spending a lot of time on it.
I became addicted to creating the perfect page, posting the most interesting pictures, and getting as many followers as possible. I would stay up late at night, not studying but scrolling through my feed (刷我的动态), thinking about how to make my posts more attractive. Gradually, my grades started to drop.
It was not until a cold winter day that things took a turn. That day, my dad came to the city to bring me some warm clothes and money. I had planned to take some pictures of winter scenery, so I sent my dad away in a hurry after getting the things. After my dad left, I came to the park to look for a new angle to post something unique.
But as I rounded the corner, I saw a small figure against the poorly-lit street. As I drew nearer, I was surprised to find that it was my dad. He had missed the last bus back home, and was sitting on the bench instead of finding a hotel, just to save some money. I stood there, rooted to the spot, with nothing coming out of my mouth.
注意:
(1 )续写词数应为150个左右;
(2 )请按如下格式作答,
That night marked a turning point in my school life.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the autumn two years later, a postman brought a big surprise to my family.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
That night marked a turning point in my school life. Something inside me changed. The scene of my dad sitting in the cold wind was unforgettable to me. I needed to turn things around. I deleted most of my social media apps and made my studies my main concern. In the next two years, I made up for the lost time, burying myself in books day after day, even on weekends. My mission was clear: to stand out in the college entrance exams, to tap my own potential and to prove to myself that I could do it.
In the autumn two years later, a postman brought a big surprise to my family. I opened the letter with a mixture of fear and hope, only to find out that I had scored the highest in the city and was admitted into a famous university. My dad was overjoyed; his eyes filled with tears of happiness. I realized then that hard work and determination could move mountains. It was more than just a university; it was about honoring my dad’s sacrifice and proving the wisdom of his belief in education as the path to a better life.

Harper Lee (1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird (published in 1960), which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee’s only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of U.S. readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in the U.S. schools. In 2007 she was awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom for her contributions to literature.
Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she suggested that she was working on another story.
In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult.
Though Lee moved to New York in 1949, she spent many years guarding her privacy (隐私) in Monroeville, which served as the clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke (中风), but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. The countless Americans knew her only through her works, and they will undoubtedly miss her.
4. What can be learned about Harper Lee from the first two paragraphs?
A. She was regarded as the greatest writer in America.
B. She is the most popular writer in American schools in history.
C. She once starred in a film adapted from her own novel.
D. She made great contributions to American literature.
5. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?
A. She felt uneasy about her novel’s influence. B. She suffered a stroke and was in recovery.
C. She wanted to write another novel. D. She tried to get out of criticism.
6. What can we learn about Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman?
A. It is based on her own life story. B. It continues the story of her earlier novel.
C. It is adapted into a famous film. D. It won her lots of honors and awards.
7. What can best describe Harper Lee?
A. Inspiring but struggling. B. Caring but stubborn.
C. Influential but simple. D. Ill-tempered but productive.
C
Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.
Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here.
Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水).
To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.”
An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the country in the future to help fight poverty,” he says.
8. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph?
A. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills.
B. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique.
C. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm.
D. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique.
9. What can we know about the Wanbao project?
A. It offers farming technologies for locals. B. It teaches locals Chinese.
C. It plants trees in urban areas. D. It improves the local climate.
10. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Preparing. B. Selling. C. Growing. D. Pulling.
11. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found?
A. Travel. B. Art. C. Education. D. Agriculture.

More than 3 million square kilometers of the Asian elephant’s historic habitat range has been lost in just three centuries, a new report from an international scientific team led by a researcher at University of California San Diego reveals. This dramatic decline may underlie present-day conflicts between elephants and people, the authors argue.
Developing new insights from a unique data set that models land-use change over three centuries, the research team led by Shermin de Silva found that habitats suitable for Asian elephants have been cut by nearly two-thirds within the past 300 years.
The largest living land animal in Asia, endangered Asian elephants inhabited grasslands and rainforest ecosystems that once crossed the continent. Analyzing land-use data from the years 850 to 2015, the researchers describe in the journal Scientific Reports a troubling situation in which they estimate that more than 64% of historic suitable elephant habitat across Asia has been lost. While elephant habitats remained relatively stable prior to the 1700s, land-use practices in Asia, including forest decrease, farming and agriculture, cut the average habitat size more than 80%, from 99,000 to 16,000 square kilometers.
The study also suggests that the remaining elephant populations today may not have enough habitat areas. While 100% of the area within 100 kilometers of the current elephant range was considered suitable habitat in 1700, the proportion (比例) has since declined to less than 50% by 2015. This sets up a high potential for conflicts with people living in those areas as elephant populations change their behavior and adjust to more human-dominated spaces.
“In the 1600s and 1700s there is evidence of a dramatic change in land use, not just in Asia, but globally,” said de Silva, an assistant professor in the School of Biological Sciences’ Department of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution, and founder of the nonprofit Trunks & Leaves. “Around the world we see a really dramatic transformation that has serious consequences that last even to this day. “

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born in a small village where the mountains were our neighbors. My dad was a street vendor (小贩), who always told me that education was the way to make our lives better. So when I was 15, I did something amazing: I got the best grades in my school and entered the best high school in our city.
But the city was full of new challenges. I found it hard to fit in with my new classmates. They seemed to have so many interests and hobbies that I knew nothing about. I started to feel a bit left out.
Some of my classmates were really into a new type of trendy (时髦的) social media. They would constantly talk about the latest trends, the coolest posts, and how many likes they got. I felt that if I didn’t join them, I would be completely isolated (孤立的). So, I ended up spending a lot of time on it.
I became addicted to creating the perfect page, posting the most interesting pictures, and getting as many followers as possible. I would stay up late at night, not studying but scrolling through my feed (刷我的动态), thinking about how to make my posts more attractive. Gradually, my grades started to drop.
It was not until a cold winter day that things took a turn. That day, my dad came to the city to bring me some warm clothes and money. I had planned to take some pictures of winter scenery, so I sent my dad away in a hurry after getting the things. After my dad left, I came to the park to look for a new angle to post something unique.
But as I rounded the corner, I saw a small figure against the poorly-lit street. As I drew nearer, I was surprised to find that it was my dad. He had missed the last bus back home, and was sitting on the bench instead of finding a hotel, just to save some money. I stood there, rooted to the spot, with nothing coming out of my mouth.
注意:
(1 )续写词数应为150个左右;
(2 )请按如下格式作答,
That night marked a turning point in my school life.
