Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results might be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the ___12___ of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problems — everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness — are caused at least in part by ___13___ to communicate. we do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better. On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, ___14___ to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset, or they might take a walk together and see the neighborhood with fresh, new eyes.

Educators report that the generation growing up with television can ___16___ write an English sentence, even at the college level. Writing is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a___17___ of the quiet hour. At first glance, the idea of an hour without TV seems radical. What will parents do without the ___18___ baby-sitter?

Those of us thirty-five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent ___19___ with radio — which at least ____20____ the listener’s imagination — but also with reading, learning, talking, playing games, inventing new activities. It wasn’t that difficult. Honestly. The truth is we enjoyed ourselves greatly. Ⅲ.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. So far, many dolphins worldwide have been captured and kept in small pools, performing for people, especially kids. These dolphins are fed on fish instead of having to ____21____ them. Gradually, they start spending most of their time near the pool waiting for food rather than underwater. They get out of shape and can no longer ____22____ for long distances, which affects their ____23____ greatly, and results in ____24____ consequences (后果). Thus comes the question. “Should captive (被关起来的) dolphins be ____25____?” Jeff Foster, a dolphin expert, decided to help two captive dolphins, Tom and Misha, to reach their top physical ____26____. Every day, he trained the two dolphins to get used to their wild homes again. Twenty months later, Tom and Misha began to act like ____27____ dolphins and they were set free back into the sea. ____28____ Tom and Misha lived in captivity for 4 to 5 years, they were able to adapt to the wild. It was ____29____ what Foster had hoped for. His dreams for the dolphins had finally come true and he knew that the dolphins would ____30____ in the wild.

The sudden ____33____ change did not suit him well. If people want to avoid these accidents, we must go to great lengths and put ____34____ to ensure it doesn’t happen ever again.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A In the mornings, Monday through Friday, we do our yoga exercises. I started doing yoga exercise about forty years ago. Well, after a decade or so, when Bessie turned eighty, she found that I, in my eighties, looked better than her. So she decided she would start doing yoga, too. So we have been doing our exercises together ever since. We follow a yoga exercise program on the TV. Sometimes, Bessie cheats. I’ll be doing an exercise and looking over at her, and she’s just lying there! She’s a naughty old girl. Exercise is very significant. A lot of older people don’t exercise at all. Another thing that is terribly vital is diet. I keep up with the latest news about nutrition. About thirty years ago, Bessie and I started eating much more healthy foods. These days, I do most of cooking, and Bessie does the serving. We eat our big meal of the day at noon. In the evening, we usually have a milkshake for dinner, and then we go upstairs and watch the news on the TV. After that, we say our prayers — we say prayers in the morning and before we go to bed. It takes a long time to pray for everyone, because it is a very big family — we have fifteen nieces and nephews still living, plus all their children and grandchildren. We pray for each one. The ones that Bessie doesn’t approve of get extra prayers. Bessie can be very critical and she holds things against people forever. I always have to say to her, “Everyone has to be themselves, Bessie. Live and let live. ” You know, when you are this old, you don’t know if you are going to wake up in the morning. But I don’t worry about dying, and neither does Bessie. We are at peace. You never know when it is going to happen. That’s why you learn to love each and every day, child. By Sadie 36. What are the two factors that the author considers most important for longevity? A. Workout and eating. B. Yoga and prayers. C. Cooking and serving. D. TV and a big family. 37. According to the passage, which of the following about Bessie is true? A. She is a lazy old lady, getting up late every morning. B. She is a good cook and does most of the cooking. C. While she is aged, she is quite naughty. D. Because she always forgives others, she is considerate. 38. We can infer from the passage that both Sadie and Bessie________. A. are worried about death. B. pray for all living beings they know. C. are aged more than 100. D. have 2 milkshakes every day. 39. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Sadie is intelligent and kind with everyone. B. Both Sadie and Bessie enjoy their long lives. C. Bessie is a nice person and she loves her big family. D. Both Sadie and Bessie enjoy their coming death. B Thai Gallery A taste of Thailand ★★★★★ If you love Thai food, you must check out this place. The food was beyond amazing, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. Unfortunately, we were just visiting the area for the weekend, but if we lived nearby, we’d go back in a heartbeat. As a starter, we had veggie summer rolls, which were out of this world and it was so fresh and bursting with flavour. I had the spicy stir-fried pork and, although it was a bit spicier than I usually like it, it was divine. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Highly recommended. Efes Cuisine Wow! A little gem! ★★★★★ My girlfriend and I went to this restaurant at the weekend, to celebrate our anniversary, and we had a wonderfully memorable experience. Located in the old town, their Middle Eastern-inspired menu is impressive, and every dish we tried was excellent. The dips were delicious – try all of them! The friendly staff were very knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients and were able to suggest great wines to go with different dishes. The venue was relaxed and charming with cosy lighting, which made it all feel quite romantic. It wasn’t just couples, though – there were groups of friends as well. It’s very popular, so book in advance. All in all, a fantastic experience, and we’ll go back again soon. Daisy’s Steakhouse A big let down! ★★★★★ I’d read some good reviews of this restaurant online and was excited about the thought of a great steak but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. We got there at 8.15pm, and despite having booked a table, we had to wait for more than 20 minutes, and they didn’t even offer us a drink at the bar. Then, once we sat down, we were told we’d have to leave the table by 9.30pm. I was not impressed to say the least. Once we’d ordered, the food arrived fairly quickly, but the steak was extremely tough (almost inedible, to be honest), and the sauce was depressingly bland. We won’t be going back, which is a shame because it’s stylishly decorated and our waitress was friendly. The wine selection was good, too, if a little pricey. Vegan Heaven Yes yes yes! Vegan heaven! ★★★★★ I’ve been looking for more vegan-friendly restaurants since I switched to a plant-based diet, so when a friend told me about this vegetarian café, I was keen to try it out. Though not everything on the menu is vegan, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of dishes I could choose from. I had the baked artichokes followed by the sweet potato coconut curry. Yum! The service was incredible, too. The staff dealt brilliantly with my son’s gluten intolerance. If I had to criticize one thing, it would be that the tables were too close together, so we felt a bit cramped. Even so, this will become one of our go-to eateries. Sky Club Mediocre ★★★★★ Had chicken fajitas, which were tasty but quite cold. The cocktails were delicious, though. I’d especially recommend the strawberry mojito. Authentic decor and nice atmosphere, but the service was soooooo slow. We didn’t leave a tip. Can’t complain about the price. Overall, it was OK, but I wouldn’t rush back. 40. Larry doesn’t eat meat. After reading these online restaurant reviews, as Larry’s best friend, which one will you recommend? A. Efes Cuisine. B. Sky Club. C. Thai Gallery. D. Vegan Heaven. 41. What does the word “hype” in line 3 mean in the review of “Daisy’s Steakhouse”? A. Delicacy. B. Praise. C. Reality. D. Tension. 42. According to the passage, it can be learned that ______. A. Efes Cuisine is a perfect place reserved for couples only B. Efes Cuisine offers a wide range of tasty Southern Asian cuisines C. Efes Cuisine is so popular that it’s better for diners to make a reservation D. The decoration and service of Efes Cuisine are incredible despite its high price C Nala the cat, a Siamese and tabby mix, is slightly cross-eyed with gray and white fur. She likes being petted but isn’t a fan of being held. She was rescued from an animal shelter and really loves men with beards. She happens to have more than 4.4 million followers on Instagram, making her the most followed cat on the photo-sharing app. Her owners, Varisiri “Pookie” Methachittiphan and Shannon Ellis, also have five other cats and one dog running around their home — all of whom are Internet famous. Animals have long been popular online, and having especially photogenic (上镜的) pets has led people like Methachittiphan and Ellis to a lucrative full-time career. “The hardest part is that you never really have a day off. It’s 24/7,” Methachittiphan told CNN Business. For Nala’s Instagram account, they keep it pretty simple. She’s pictured making funny faces or playing with boxes. For some photos, they dress her up in costumes such as a space suit or with accessories on her head like crowns. Methachittiphan adopted Nala in 2010 in Los Angeles when she was a master’s student and made an Instagram account for her two years later when the service started taking off. “It really happened by accident,” she said. By the second week, Nala had 500 followers, and by the fourth month, she had reached almost 50,000.” Methachittiphan took the cat’s growing fame very seriously. In the early days, she experimented with hashtags and finding the optimal time to post on Instagram to keep growing Nala’s following. When she was featured on Instagram’s “Popular” page, now called “Explore”, Methachittiphan began setting an alarm for 5 a.m. to post photos and increase Nala’s chances of being chosen again to help increase her exposure. Brands soon started reaching out about sponsored content deals with Nala. That’s when Methachittiphan decided to turn the cat’s Instagram following into a career. In addition to sponsored content deals, they use their accounts to raise awareness about animal hunger, fostering pets, adopting animals from shelters and educating people about proper pet parenting. “We know that we have to build something that is sustainable, that lives on its own. That thing will be Nala’s legacy,” Ellis said. 43. What can we learn about Nala according to the first two paragraphs? A. She is a crossbred cat. B. She was born in an animal shelter. C. She now stays with seven other pets. D. She doesn’t enjoy the company of humans. 44. Which of the following is the correct order of Nala’s story? ①Nala got popular and attracted many sponsors. ②Nala’s Instagram account was created in 2012. ③Nala’s accounts were employed to make a difference. ④Nala had almost fifty thousand followers on Instagram. ⑤Nala’s owner figured out the best time to post her photos. A. ①⑤②④③ B. ②①④③⑤ C. ①②⑤③④ D. ②④⑤①③ 45. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. Nala’s popularity has slipped away recently B. Nala’s going viral happened by chance C. Nala’s owners had several jobs to make ends meet D. Nala’s owners donated large sums to charity 46. Methachittiphan and Ellis can be described as ________. A. rich and generous B. powerful and tricky C. quick and humorous D. creative and devoted Section C (8 points) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Is Tom Really the Natural Enemy of Jerry? I’ve seen such scenes for many times — some cats are not interested in catching mice, and even seem genuinely afraid of mice. How can a natural hunter be like this? Are mice really more aggressive now? ____47____ Some cats hunt and kill, others play with prey before killing it, and some, like mine, scamper up the stairs wailing at their own shadow. All cats, like people, have personalities and preferences. Moreover, it has much to do with the environment whether a cat is a qualified mice hunter. When cats live indoors and are not exposed to hunting or game, they may ignore mice. While they have natural hunting instincts, most cats are not professional mice hunters. Cats which live in a house are usually well-fed and will only pursue mice for fun. ____48____ However, cats have lightning-fast reflexes (本能反应) and frequently leap before they realize why, especially if something resembles the way a snake moves. ____49____ The truth is, they may never see one if they’ve always been in the house. Cats are highly alert to other creatures that could damage or kill them. Rats, on the other hand, are even more dangerous. A giant rat is not prey that a cat would pursue. The rats’ bite could injure or infect the cat with a deadly disease. What can we do to naturally keep away from mice? Regarding which cat is the best for hunting mice, the cat breed is unimportant. ____50____ Get two of them, but ensure you are feeding them and providing them with medical treatment rather than simply employing them to kill mice and failing to care for them properly. A. A shelter cat which had previously lived outside is a good choice. B. Actually, it is mainly dependent on the cat. C. If they’ve never seen one, they’re correct to be suspicious! D. That is to say, if the cat is full, curiosity is the only motivation to deal with a moving creature. E. Most of the time, it’s not that the cat is afraid of such creatures. F. Cats are intelligent when deciding which target to follow and which to avoid. Ⅳ. Summary Writing (10 points) 51. Summary Writing When you hear the final whistle One of the hardest things for any sportsperson to do is to know when to retire. But even harder is finding the answer to the question “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?” Some sportspeople go on playing too long. Perhaps they just can’t stand life without the “high” of playing professional sport. Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time retired three times. He retired once from the Chicago Bulls, made a successful comeback with the Bulls, then retired again. His second comeback with an inferior team ended in failure and he retired forever at the age of 38. Jordan said, “There will never be anything I do that will fulfill me as much as competing did.” Others can’t resist the chance of one last “pay day”. Muhammad Ali needed the money, but his comeback fight, at the age of 39, against Trevor Berbick, was one of the saddest spectacles in modern sport. After losing to Berbick, Ali retired permanently. Three years later he developed Parkinson’s disease. For some people, the pain of retirement never leaves them. As Jimmy Greaves, an ex-England international footballer said, “I think that a lot of players would prefer to be shot once their career is over.” Many of them spend their retirement in a continual battle against depression, alcohol, or drugs. But for the lucky few, retirement can mean a successful new career. Franz Beckenbauer is a classical example of a footballer who won everything with his club, Bayern Muaich. After retiring he became a successful coach with Bayern and finally president of the club. John McEnroe, the infamous “bad boy” of tennis, is now a highly respected and highly paid TV commentator. But sadly, for most sportspeople these cases are the exceptions. V.

I started doing yoga exercise about forty years ago. Well, after a decade or so, when Bessie turned eighty, she found that I, in my eighties, looked better than her. So she decided she would start doing yoga, too. So we have been doing our exercises together ever since. We follow a yoga exercise program on the TV. Sometimes, Bessie cheats. I’ll be doing an exercise and looking over at her, and she’s just lying there! She’s a naughty old girl. Exercise is very significant. A lot of older people don’t exercise at all. Another thing that is terribly vital is diet. I keep up with the latest news about nutrition. About thirty years ago, Bessie and I started eating much more healthy foods. These days, I do most of cooking, and Bessie does the serving. We eat our big meal of the day at noon. In the evening, we usually have a milkshake for dinner, and then we go upstairs and watch the news on the TV. After that, we say our prayers — we say prayers in the morning and before we go to bed. It takes a long time to pray for everyone, because it is a very big family — we have fifteen nieces and nephews still living, plus all their children and grandchildren. We pray for each one. The ones that Bessie doesn’t approve of get extra prayers. Bessie can be very critical and she holds things against people forever. I always have to say to her, “Everyone has to be themselves, Bessie. Live and let live. ” You know, when you are this old, you don’t know if you are going to wake up in the morning. But I don’t worry about dying, and neither does Bessie. We are at peace. You never know when it is going to happen. That’s why you learn to love each and every day, child. By Sadie 36.

The food was beyond amazing, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. Unfortunately, we were just visiting the area for the weekend, but if we lived nearby, we’d go back in a heartbeat. As a starter, we had veggie summer rolls, which were out of this world and it was so fresh and bursting with flavour. I had the spicy stir-fried pork and, although it was a bit spicier than I usually like it, it was divine. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Highly recommended. Efes Cuisine Wow! A little gem! ★★★★★ My girlfriend and I went to this restaurant at the weekend, to celebrate our anniversary, and we had a wonderfully memorable experience. Located in the old town, their Middle Eastern-inspired menu is impressive, and every dish we tried was excellent. The dips were delicious – try all of them! The friendly staff were very knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients and were able to suggest great wines to go with different dishes. The venue was relaxed and charming with cosy lighting, which made it all feel quite romantic. It wasn’t just couples, though – there were groups of friends as well. It’s very popular, so book in advance. All in all, a fantastic experience, and we’ll go back again soon. Daisy’s Steakhouse A big let down! ★★★★★ I’d read some good reviews of this restaurant online and was excited about the thought of a great steak but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. We got there at 8.15pm, and despite having booked a table, we had to wait for more than 20 minutes, and they didn’t even offer us a drink at the bar. Then, once we sat down, we were told we’d have to leave the table by 9.30pm. I was not impressed to say the least. Once we’d ordered, the food arrived fairly quickly, but the steak was extremely tough (almost inedible, to be honest), and the sauce was depressingly bland. We won’t be going back, which is a shame because it’s stylishly decorated and our waitress was friendly. The wine selection was good, too, if a little pricey. Vegan Heaven Yes yes yes! Vegan heaven! ★★★★★ I’ve been looking for more vegan-friendly restaurants since I switched to a plant-based diet, so when a friend told me about this vegetarian café, I was keen to try it out. Though not everything on the menu is vegan, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of dishes I could choose from. I had the baked artichokes followed by the sweet potato coconut curry. Yum! The service was incredible, too. The staff dealt brilliantly with my son’s gluten intolerance. If I had to criticize one thing, it would be that the tables were too close together, so we felt a bit cramped. Even so, this will become one of our go-to eateries. Sky Club Mediocre ★★★★★ Had chicken fajitas, which were tasty but quite cold. The cocktails were delicious, though. I’d especially recommend the strawberry mojito. Authentic decor and nice atmosphere, but the service was soooooo slow. We didn’t leave a tip. Can’t complain about the price. Overall, it was OK, but I wouldn’t rush back. 40. Larry doesn’t eat meat. After reading these online restaurant reviews, as Larry’s best friend, which one will you recommend? A. Efes Cuisine. B. Sky Club. C. Thai Gallery. D. Vegan Heaven. 41. What does the word “hype” in line 3 mean in the review of “Daisy’s Steakhouse”? A. Delicacy. B. Praise. C. Reality. D. Tension. 42. According to the passage, it can be learned that ______. A. Efes Cuisine is a perfect place reserved for couples only B. Efes Cuisine offers a wide range of tasty Southern Asian cuisines C. Efes Cuisine is so popular that it’s better for diners to make a reservation D. The decoration and service of Efes Cuisine are incredible despite its high price 【答案】40. D 41. B 42. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。介绍了五家餐厅的菜品、服务和顾客体验。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据Vegan Heaven部分“I’ve been looking for more vegan-friendly restaurants since I switched to a plant-based diet (自从我转向植物性饮食以来，我一直在寻找更多对素食主义者友好的餐厅)”及“Though not everything on the menu is vegan, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of dishes I could choose from. (虽然菜单上并非所有菜品都是纯素的，但可供我选择的菜品数量还是给了我一个惊喜)”可知，这家餐厅提供大量素食选择，适合不吃肉的Larry。故选D。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据 Daisy’s Steakhouse部分“I’d read some good reviews of this restaurant online and was excited about the thought of a great steak but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. (我在网上看到过这家餐厅的一些好评，一想到能吃到美味的牛排就很兴奋，但遗憾的是，它并没有达到hype)”可知，作者之前看到了好评，对这家店抱有期待，但实际体验很失望，说明它没有宣传的那么好。“Praise (赞扬)”的意思最接近。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据Efes Cuisine部分“It’s very popular, so book in advance. (这家店非常受欢迎，所以最好提前预订)”可知，Efes Cuisine人气很高，食客最好提前预约。故选C。 C Nala the cat, a Siamese and tabby mix, is slightly cross-eyed with gray and white fur. She likes being petted but isn’t a fan of being held. She was rescued from an animal shelter and really loves men with beards. She happens to have more than 4.4 million followers on Instagram, making her the most followed cat on the photo-sharing app. Her owners, Varisiri “Pookie” Methachittiphan and Shannon Ellis, also have five other cats and one dog running around their home — all of whom are Internet famous. Animals have long been popular online, and having especially photogenic (上镜的) pets has led people like Methachittiphan and Ellis to a lucrative full-time career. “The hardest part is that you never really have a day off. It’s 24/7,” Methachittiphan told CNN Business. For Nala’s Instagram account, they keep it pretty simple. She’s pictured making funny faces or playing with boxes. For some photos, they dress her up in costumes such as a space suit or with accessories on her head like crowns. Methachittiphan adopted Nala in 2010 in Los Angeles when she was a master’s student and made an Instagram account for her two years later when the service started taking off. “It really happened by accident,” she said. By the second week, Nala had 500 followers, and by the fourth month, she had reached almost 50,000.” Methachittiphan took the cat’s growing fame very seriously. In the early days, she experimented with hashtags and finding the optimal time to post on Instagram to keep growing Nala’s following. When she was featured on Instagram’s “Popular” page, now called “Explore”, Methachittiphan began setting an alarm for 5 a.m. to post photos and increase Nala’s chances of being chosen again to help increase her exposure. Brands soon started reaching out about sponsored content deals with Nala. That’s when Methachittiphan decided to turn the cat’s Instagram following into a career. In addition to sponsored content deals, they use their accounts to raise awareness about animal hunger, fostering pets, adopting animals from shelters and educating people about proper pet parenting. “We know that we have to build something that is sustainable, that lives on its own. That thing will be Nala’s legacy,” Ellis said. 43. What can we learn about Nala according to the first two paragraphs? A. She is a crossbred cat. B. She was born in an animal shelter. C.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了网红猫Nala的成名经历及其主人的相关运营和公益行动。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Nala the cat, a Siamese and tabby mix, is slightly cross-eyed with gray and white fur.(猫咪Nala是暹罗猫和虎斑猫的混种，它有点斜视，灰白相间的皮毛。)”可知，Nala是一只混种猫。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Methachittiphan adopted Nala in 2010 in Los Angeles when she was a master’s student and made an Instagram account for her two years later when the service started taking off.(2010年，Methachittiphan在洛杉矶收养了Nala，当时她还是一名硕士生。两年后，当Instagram开始流行时，她为Nala创建了一个账号。)”可知，②Nala的Instagram账号创建于2012年，排第一；根据第五段中“By the second week, Nala had 500 followers, and by the fourth month, she had reached almost 50, 000.(到第二周，Nala已经有500名粉丝，到第四个月，她的粉丝数已经接近5万。)”可知，④Nala在Instagram上有近5万粉丝，排第二；根据第六段中“In the early days, she experimented with hashtags and finding the optimal time to post on Instagram to keep growing Nala’s following.(在早期，她尝试使用标签，并找到在Instagram上发帖的最佳时间，以不断增加Nala的粉丝数量。)”可知，⑤Nala的主人找到了发布她照片的最佳时间，排第三；根据第六段中“Brands soon started reaching out about sponsored content deals with Nala.(品牌商家很快就开始联系Nala，希望与她合作赞助内容。)”可知，①Nala走红，吸引了很多赞助商，排第四；根据第七段中“In addition to sponsored content deals, they use their accounts to raise awareness about animal hunger, fostering pets, adopting animals from shelters and educating people about proper pet parenting.(除了赞助内容交易，他们还利用自己的账号提高人们对动物饥饿、寄养宠物、从收容所收养动物以及教育人们正确养宠的认识。)”可知，③Nala的账号被用来发挥作用，排第五。因此，Nala的故事的正确顺序是②④⑤①③。故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““It really happened by accident,” she said. By the second week, Nala had 500 followers, and by the fourth month, she had reached almost 50,000.”(“这真的是偶然发生的，”她说。到第二周，Nala已经有500名粉丝，到第四个月，她的粉丝数已经接近5万。)”可知，Nala的走红纯属偶然。故选B。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For Nala’s Instagram account, they keep it pretty simple. She’s pictured making funny faces or playing with boxes. For some photos, they dress her up in costumes such as a space suit or with accessories on her head like crowns.(对于Nala的Instagram账号，他们保持得相当简单。照片中的它要么在做鬼脸，要么在玩盒子。在一些照片中，他们会给它穿上太空服等服装，或者给它戴上皇冠等头饰。)”以及第七段中“In addition to sponsored content deals, they use their accounts to raise awareness about animal hunger, fostering pets, adopting animals from shelters and educating people about proper pet parenting.(除了赞助内容交易，他们还利用自己的账号提高人们对动物饥饿、寄养宠物、从收容所收养动物以及教育人们正确养宠的认识。)”可知，Methachittiphan和Ellis非常有创意，并且致力于公益事业。故选D。 Section C (8 points) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Is Tom Really the Natural Enemy of Jerry? I’ve seen such scenes for many times — some cats are not interested in catching mice, and even seem genuinely afraid of mice. How can a natural hunter be like this? Are mice really more aggressive now? ____47____ Some cats hunt and kill, others play with prey before killing it, and some, like mine, scamper up the stairs wailing at their own shadow. All cats, like people, have personalities and preferences. Moreover, it has much to do with the environment whether a cat is a qualified mice hunter. When cats live indoors and are not exposed to hunting or game, they may ignore mice. While they have natural hunting instincts, most cats are not professional mice hunters. Cats which live in a house are usually well-fed and will only pursue mice for fun. ____48____ However, cats have lightning-fast reflexes (本能反应) and frequently leap before they realize why, especially if something resembles the way a snake moves. ____49____ The truth is, they may never see one if they’ve always been in the house. Cats are highly alert to other creatures that could damage or kill them. Rats, on the other hand, are even more dangerous. A giant rat is not prey that a cat would pursue. The rats’ bite could injure or infect the cat with a deadly disease. What can we do to naturally keep away from mice? Regarding which cat is the best for hunting mice, the cat breed is unimportant. ____50____ Get two of them, but ensure you are feeding them and providing them with medical treatment rather than simply employing them to kill mice and failing to care for them properly. A. A shelter cat which had previously lived outside is a good choice. B. Actually, it is mainly dependent on the cat. C. If they’ve never seen one, they’re correct to be suspicious! D. That is to say, if the cat is full, curiosity is the only motivation to deal with a moving creature. E. Most of the time, it’s not that the cat is afraid of such creatures. F. Cats are intelligent when deciding which target to follow and which to avoid. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了猫是否真的是老鼠的天敌这一问题，分析了猫捕鼠行为与其个性，环境以及本能反应的关系，并给出了如何自然驱鼠的建议。 【47题详解】 后文“Some cats hunt and kill, others play with prey before killing it, and some, like mine, scamper up the stairs wailing at their own shadow.(有些猫会主动捕猎并将其捕获的猎物吃掉，有些猫则会在捕杀前先与猎物玩耍一番，而我的猫却会一边尖叫着一边沿着楼梯往上跑，对着自己的影子狂奔。)”描述了猫的具体不同行为，有些捕猎、有些玩耍、有些甚至害怕自己的影子。设空句在此句之前，应是总结概述该部分内容。选项B“Actually, it is mainly dependent on the cat.(实际上，这主要取决于这只猫。)”直接呼应了关于猫个体差异的讨论，强调猫的行为因个性而异，是合理的总结句。故选B项。 【48题详解】 前文“Cats which live in a house are usually well-fed and will only pursue mice for fun.(生活在屋内的猫通常会得到充足的食物供应，它们追捕老鼠纯粹是为了娱乐。)”指出家猫通常吃得好，没有“捕捉老鼠”的本能需求，只为了“好玩”而追老鼠，设空句应是承接“好玩”继续解释“猫逗老鼠”的这一行为的真正原因。选项D“That is to say, if the cat is full, curiosity is the only motivation to deal with a moving creature.(也就是说，如果猫已经吃饱了，那么好奇心就是驱使它去接近移动物体的唯一动力。)” 解释了“只为了好玩”的原因，即，吃饱后仅靠好奇心驱动，使前后文语义更完整。故选D项。 【49题详解】 前文“However, cats have lightning-fast reflexes and frequently leap before they realize why, especially if something resembles the way a snake moves.(然而，猫有闪电般快速的反应，经常在意识到原因之前跳跃，尤其是如果有东西像蛇一样移动的话。)”提到了猫对未知事物或潜在危险的警惕性，而后文内容“The truth is, they may never see one if they’ve always been in the house.(事实是，如果它们一直待在家里，可能永远都见不到。)”则提到了一个新的话题“它们一直呆在家里就可能永远见不到老鼠”，由此推知，设空句应是一个过渡句，既呼应前文警惕，又引出话题“没见过老鼠”。选项C“If they’ve never seen one, they’re correct to be suspicious!(如果它们从未见过这样的东西，那么它们产生怀疑是完全合理的！)”承接了上文内容，连接了后文内容：猫因为反应快而对移动的东西警惕，但因为家养猫从未见过老鼠，所以对其产生怀疑。故选C项。 【50题详解】 前文“Regarding which cat is the best for hunting mice, the cat breed is unimportant.(至于哪种猫最适合捕鼠，猫的品种其实并不重要。)”提到“哪种猫适合捕鼠”，设空句应是给出具体建议。选项A“A shelter cat which had previously lived outside is a good choice.(以前住在外面的收容所猫是一个不错的选择。)”给出了建议，前后衔接紧密。故选A项。 Ⅳ. Summary Writing (10 points) 51. Summary Writing When you hear the final whistle One of the hardest things for any sportsperson to do is to know when to retire. But even harder is finding the answer to the question “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?” Some sportspeople go on playing too long. Perhaps they just can’t stand life without the “high” of playing professional sport. Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time retired three times. He retired once from the Chicago Bulls, made a successful comeback with the Bulls, then retired again. His second comeback with an inferior team ended in failure and he retired forever at the age of 38. Jordan said, “There will never be anything I do that will fulfill me as much as competing did.” Others can’t resist the chance of one last “pay day”. Muhammad Ali needed the money, but his comeback fight, at the age of 39, against Trevor Berbick, was one of the saddest spectacles in modern sport. After losing to Berbick, Ali retired permanently. Three years later he developed Parkinson’s disease. For some people, the pain of retirement never leaves them. As Jimmy Greaves, an ex-England international footballer said, “I think that a lot of players would prefer to be shot once their career is over.” Many of them spend their retirement in a continual battle against depression, alcohol, or drugs. But for the lucky few, retirement can mean a successful new career. Franz Beckenbauer is a classical example of a footballer who won everything with his club, Bayern Muaich. After retiring he became a successful coach with Bayern and finally president of the club. John McEnroe, the infamous “bad boy” of tennis, is now a highly respected and highly paid TV commentator. But sadly, for most sportspeople these cases are the exceptions. 【答案】For sportsmen, knowing what to do after retirement is harder than deciding when to retire. Some play so long that they have trouble adjusting to life after retirement, while the need for money keeps others stay. For some, the pain of retirement is with them for the rest of life, while for others, retirement means a successful new career. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是概要写作，要求概括对运动员来说知道退役后做什么比决定何时退役更难，一些人难退役是因为他们难以适应退役后的生活，另一些则是需要钱；对一些人来说，退役的痛苦伴随整个余生，而对另一些人来说则意味着一个新的成功的生涯，注意词数要求和使用自己的语言。 【详解】1、写之前，需要认真仔细地读几遍原文材料，让理解更深刻。 2、遵循原文的逻辑顺序，对重要部分的主题、标题、细节进行概括，全面清晰地表明原文信息。 3、给摘要起一个好标题，比如：可以采用文中的主题句。 4、尽量使用自己的话完成，不要引用原文的句子，篇幅控制在原文的三分之一或四分之一长。 V. Translation (3+3+4+5=15 points) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words or phrase given in the brackets. 52. 植物是所有食物的最终来源。（ultimate）(汉译英) 【答案】Plants are the ultimate source of all foodstuffs. 【解析】 【详解】考查名词、形容词、短语。表示“植物”为plant，此处为泛指，故需要用复数，位于句首要大写首字母“P”；表示“最终的”为提示词ultimate；表示“……的来源”为短语source of sth.；表示“食物”可用名词foodstuff，此处为泛指，故需要用复数形式。故翻译为Plants are the ultimate source of all foodstuffs. 53. 我很抱歉地通知你，你的食谱没有入围决赛。(inform)(汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I’m sorry to inform you that your recipe didn’t make it to the finals. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。表示“我很抱歉”可用I’m sorry to do sth.；表示“通知……”可用inform sb. that…，that引导宾语从句；表示“你的食谱”用your recipe；表示“入围决赛”可用make it to the finals，发生在过去用一般过去时，且为否定陈述句。故翻译为I’m sorry to inform you that your recipe didn’t make it to the finals. 54. 看到极端气候时，人们往往会将它和全球变暖联系起来。(associate) （汉译英） ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When witnessing extreme weather, people tend to associate it with global warming. 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词，一般现在时，形容词，介词，名词。根据汉语意思可知，句子的主要成分为“人们往往会将它和全球变暖联系起来。”，所以前面为状语。表示“当……时候”用when；表示“看到”用witness；天气为weather；极端的为extreme；因为句子中已经有谓语动词，所以witness作非谓语，与句子的逻辑主语为主谓关系，所以用现在分词；所以前半句为When witnessing extreme weather。“常常做某事”为tend to do sth.，陈述经常性的行为，用一般现在时；“将……与……联系”为associate … with …；此处指的是将极端天气与全球变暖相联系，前文中已经出现“极端天气”所以用it代替；“全球变暖”为global warming。所以后半句为people tend to associate it with global warming.故答案为When witnessing extreme weather, people tend to associate it with global warming. 55. 看到这么多年轻人主动学京剧，老艺术家倍感欣慰，意识到这门传承数百年的艺术终于后继有人了。(relieve) (汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Seeing so many young people take the initiative to learn Peking Opera, the veteran artists feel greatly relieved and realize that this art with a history of hundreds of years finally has successors. 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词、名词短语、动词短语、宾语从句、名词和时态。根据句意以及句子提示词可知，表示“看到某人做某事”应为动词短语see sb. do sth，结合句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，see和逻辑主语表示“老艺术家”的名词the veteran artists为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式，表示“这么多年轻人”应为名词短语so many young people；表示“主动学京剧”应为动词短语take the initiative to learn Peking Opera，所以非谓语部分为seeing so many young people take the initiative to learn Peking Opera；表示“倍感欣慰”应为动词短语feel greatly relieved；表示“意识到”为动词realize，后接that引导的宾语从句，在该宾语从句中，表示“这门传承数百年的艺术”应为名词短语this art with a history of hundreds of years；表示“后继有人”应为动词短语has successors，结合句意可知，该句应为陈述一般事实，为一般现在时。故翻译为：Seeing so many young people take the initiative to learn Peking Opera, the veteran artists feel greatly relieved and realize that this art with a history of hundreds of years finally has successors.
