第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
As a kid, Pamela Akuku spent her weekends exploring the National Museums of Kenya, following along with her mom who worked there. Akuku became fascinated with the researchers. She saw them using various equipment and researching the fossils carefully. “But I didn’t know what they were doing at the time,” she says. “I kept asking my mom about it.”
Akuku’s mom saw her daughter’s curiosity and signed her up for the museum’s Young Researchers Club. Akuku soon took part in mock excavations (模拟挖掘) and reconstructed bones. “I enjoyed reading and puzzles,” says Akuku. “And this was a mixture of the two.
The museum experiences helped inspire her career as an archeologist. After her four years in university, she was sure that she wanted to study archaeology. She did her master’s in South Africa and majored in zooarchaeology (动物考古学). She is now at the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution in Tarragona, Spain. There, she studies how ancient humans modified (改造) animal bones. Her research is helping to reveal more about where early humans lived. She’s currently studying the remains from Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge, where researchers previously discovered stone tools and evidence of early human ancestors going back as far as 2 million years.
Akuku gives some advice to people who want to do her job. “Be prepared to come across hard conditions. Working in this field is challenging. You have to work twice as hard just to be recognized,” Akuku said. But she has learned to deal with it. Now she always tells everyone the efforts are worthy.
1. Why did Akuku’s mother let her join in the Young Researchers Club?
A. Akuku showed interest in the club. B. Akuku’s mom was curious about the club.
C Akuku’s mom wanted Akuku to help with her job. D. Akuku hoped to be an archaeologist.
2. What is Akuku’s present research about?
A. Why zooarchaeology is popular. B. When the relics of Tarragona appeared.
C. What can be found from ancient fossils. D. How ancient people modified animal bones.
3 What can we know about Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge?
A. Many stone tools remain to be found there. B. Ancient humans may have lived there 2 million years ago.
C. There are few relics left at present. D. Few researchers show interest in it.
B
Jacob’s Well is a spring in Hays County, an hour or so southwest of Austin, near the towns of Wimberley and Dripping Springs. The cool water there has lured locals and visitors to the Hill Country spot for hundreds of years. And, for almost that long, Jacob’s Well has been a siren (危险的诱惑), too.
What’s considered seriously fun for some — going around on the lip of the well, escaping the heat, spending time with friends — is a lifestyle to others. And it can be a deadly lifestyle.
Diego Adame, a 21-year-old from San Antonio, lost a flipper (脚蹼) free-diving the caves deep in the well last July and had to cut away his weight belt to make it back to the surface before his breath ran out. He even caught a part of the dive on video. “At that moment,” he said, “I thought of death and myself dying that day.”
At least eight or nine people have died at Jacob’s Well — the exact number is hard to get — which has made some people to call it one of the most dangerous diving spots in the world.
The danger beneath is covered by the beauty of the place. But even up top, Jacob’s Well can be dangerous for those who make it that way. The well, by at least one estimate, is only about 13 feet wide at the opening. Yet many daredevils climb to the rocks overlooking the opening and jump straight into the well, into the upward current. Some dive. Some do flips.
All of that is forbidden by the Hays County Park Department. But, as many YouTube videos show, those rules aren’t often obeyed.
4. What does the underlined word “lured” most probably mean?
A. Attracted. B. Separated. C. Supported. D. Frightened.
5. Why do many people go to the place with their friends?
A. To get away from the noisy city. B. To enjoy the coolness of the place.
C. To explore the mysteries of the well. D. To experience the deadly lifestyle.
6. Why does the author mention Diego Adame’s experience?
A. To tell us it is fun to swim in the well. B. To tell us divers usually get lost in the well.
C. To tell us diving in the well is very dangerous. D. To tell us divers are hard to breathe in the well.
C
Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter (散射) sunlight. This type of light-bending could lead to improvements in many fields such as medical imaging and electronics cooling.
Daniele Faccio at the University of Glasgow, UK, and his workmates say they are shocked that this type of light scattering wasn’t noticed before. It works on the same basis as clouds, snow and other white materials that absorb light: once photons (光子) hit the surface of such a material, they are scattered in all directions.
“The light goes around and tries to get in,” says Faccio. “And eventually what happens is that it just gets reflected back because it can’t get in. This is this scattering.”
To copy this process, the team 3D printed objects from a special white material while leaving thin tunnels (通路) within. When light is shone at the material, it travels into these tunnels and is scattered — just as light is on snow or clouds. However, instead of scattering randomly in every direction, the photons are directed to return to the tunnels by the material. The team put this to use, creating a range of objects that control light in an organised way. The researchers say their material improves light transmission much better than those without the same tunnels, and also allows it to be directed around curves.
This method of light-bending could make use of existing tunnels of some special materials to provide new ways to carry out medical imaging. Faccio says the exact same way also works to direct heat and neutrons, and could therefore also find use in a range of engineering applications such as cooling systems.
7. What inspired the discovery of the technique?
A How light travels. B. How clouds scatter sunlight.
C. The relevant studies. D. The features of white materials.
8. According to paragraph 4, what is the key to controlling the light scattering?
A. The motion of the photons. B. The size of the material.
C. The tunnels inside the material. D. The process of 3D printing.
9. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Future study in light-bending.
B. Potential problems of medical imaging.
C. Possible applications of this new technique.
D. Experts’ opinions on the use of special materials.
10. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a creative technique.
B. To sing high praise for innovative spirits.
C. To explain the principle of light scattering.
D. To highlight the advantages of technology.

第六部分 写作(满分25分)
61. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My father was sixty. Though he had planned on retiring at fifty-five, he was still working hard. For him, raising four children — especially now that my mother had stopped working and was at home full time — meant he couldn’t afford to retire. It also meant he couldn’t make good on something he had promised my mother. “Sweetheart,” he’d say, “I’m going to take you on a cruise (乘船游览).” He still told her that, and only these days he added, “as soon as the kids are out of college.”
I knew that putting all of us kids through college probably meant it was going to be a while before my father achieved his dream of going away with my mother on a cruise — though it didn’t stop him from cutting out ads about cruise vacations! It was cute, but it was kind of sad, too. I remember my grandmother always wanted to go to Nova Scotia. My grandfather would always say, “We’ll go next year, sweetheart.” Then she died. My grandmother never got to see Nova Scotia. I just didn’t want my parents to wait until it was too late.
I decided to save up my money to send my parents on a cruise, even if it was a short three-day cruise. My friends said to me, “Get real! Saving up for a cruise is something you’ll never be able to do.” But I didn’t believe that. It was not like I could send them around the world or anything, but I didn’t think my putting together the money for a short trip was an impossible goal. I was determined that just as my parents had made my dreams come true for all these years from my first bicycle to my first soccer camp — I was going to do all I could to make their dream of going on a cruise come true.
注意:(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I started doing part-time jobs and yard work around the neighborhood.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One year later, I finally saved up enough money!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The danger beneath is covered by the beauty of the place. But even up top, Jacob’s Well can be dangerous for those who make it that way. The well, by at least one estimate, is only about 13 feet wide at the opening. Yet many daredevils climb to the rocks overlooking the opening and jump straight into the well, into the upward current. Some dive. Some do flips.
All of that is forbidden by the Hays County Park Department. But, as many YouTube videos show, those rules aren’t often obeyed.

A. Attracted. B. Separated. C. Supported. D. Frightened.
5. Why do many people go to the place with their friends?
A. To get away from the noisy city. B. To enjoy the coolness of the place.
C. To explore the mysteries of the well. D. To experience the deadly lifestyle.
6. Why does the author mention Diego Adame’s experience?
A. To tell us it is fun to swim in the well. B. To tell us divers usually get lost in the well.
C. To tell us diving in the well is very dangerous. D. To tell us divers are hard to breathe in the well.

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What’s considered seriously fun for some — going around on the lip of the well, escaping the heat, spending time with friends — is a lifestyle to others.(对一些人来说非常有趣的事情——在井边闲逛、避暑、和朋友共度时光——对另一些人来说是一种生活方式。)”可知,人们和朋友一起去那里是为了享受此地的清凉,躲避炎热。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Diego Adame, a 21-year-old from San Antonio, lost a flipper (脚蹼) free-diving the caves deep in the well last July and had to cut away his weight belt to make it back to the surface before his breath ran out. (来自圣安东尼奥市的21岁男子迭戈·亚当,去年7月在深井深处的洞穴进行自由潜水时丢失了一只脚蹼。为了在憋气耗尽前返回水面,他不得不割断自己的配重带。)”可知,作者提及他的经历是为了说明在雅各布井潜水十分危险。故选C项。
C
Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter (散射) sunlight. This type of light-bending could lead to improvements in many fields such as medical imaging and electronics cooling.
Daniele Faccio at the University of Glasgow, UK, and his workmates say they are shocked that this type of light scattering wasn’t noticed before. It works on the same basis as clouds, snow and other white materials that absorb light: once photons (光子) hit the surface of such a material, they are scattered in all directions.
“The light goes around and tries to get in,” says Faccio. “And eventually what happens is that it just gets reflected back because it can’t get in. This is this scattering.”
To copy this process, the team 3D printed objects from a special white material while leaving thin tunnels (通路) within. When light is shone at the material, it travels into these tunnels and is scattered — just as light is on snow or clouds. However, instead of scattering randomly in every direction, the photons are directed to return to the tunnels by the material. The team put this to use, creating a range of objects that control light in an organised way. The researchers say their material improves light transmission much better than those without the same tunnels, and also allows it to be directed around curves.
This method of light-bending could make use of existing tunnels of some special materials to provide new ways to carry out medical imaging. Faccio says the exact same way also works to direct heat and neutrons, and could therefore also find use in a range of engineering applications such as cooling systems.
7. What inspired the discovery of the technique?
A. How light travels. B. How clouds scatter sunlight.
C. The relevant studies. D. The features of white materials.
8. According to paragraph 4, what is the key to controlling the light scattering?
A. The motion of the photons. B. The size of the material.
C. The tunnels inside the material. D. The process of 3D printing.
9. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Future study in light-bending.
B. Potential problems of medical imaging.
C. Possible applications of this new technique.
D. Experts’ opinions on the use of special materials.
10. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a creative technique.
B. To sing high praise for innovative spirits.
C. To explain the principle of light scattering.
D To highlight the advantages of technology.
【答案】7 B 8. C 9. C 10. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家受云散射阳光的启发发现了一种新的光线弯曲技术及其应用。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter sunlight. (科学家们发现了一种新的技术,可以使光线绕过角落弯曲,这一技术的灵感来自云散射阳光的方式。)”可知,是云散射阳光的方式启发了这项技术的发现。故选B。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“To copy this process, the team 3D printed objects from a special white material while leaving thin tunnels within. When light is shone at the material, it travels into these tunnels and is scattered — just as light is on snow or clouds. However, instead of scattering randomly in every direction, the photons are directed to return to the tunnels by the material. The team put this to use, creating a range of objects that control light in an organised way. (为了复制这一过程,研究小组用一种特殊的白色材料3D打印了物体,同时在内部留下了细小的通道。当光线照射到这种材料上时,它会进入这些通道并被散射,就像光在雪或云上一样。然而,光子并没有随机地向各个方向散射,而是被材料引导回到通道中。研究小组利用了这一点,创造了一系列有组织地控制光线的物体。)”可知,控制光散射的关键是材料内部的通道。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This method of light-bending could make use of existing tunnels of some special materials to provide new ways to carry out medical imaging. Faccio says the exact same way also works to direct heat and neutrons, and could therefore also find use in a range of engineering applications such as cooling systems. (这种光线弯曲的方法可以利用一些特殊材料现有的通道,为医学成像提供新的方法。Faccio说,同样的方法也可以用来引导热量和中子,因此也可以用于一系列工程应用,如冷却系统。)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是这种新技术的可能应用。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter sunlight. (科学家们发现了一种新的技术,可以使光线绕过角落弯曲,这一技术的灵感来自云散射阳光的方式。)”可知,文章主要介绍了科学家受云散射阳光的启发发现了一种新的光线弯曲技术及其应用,因此文章的目的是介绍一种创造性的技术。故选A。

Look for a short ingredient list
When you find a packaged food with a long list of ingredients on the label, just put it back on the shelf and look for a simpler version of the food. ___12___. Check the list of ingredients every time, because a shorter ingredient list equals fewer added sugars and preservatives (防腐剂).

___14___.
If you feel like the food labels “natural” and “organic” can be exchanged, well that’s exactly what food companies want you to think. Although there’s no single set of requirements for products claiming to be natural, such labels are still supposed to be accurate. Farmers or food companies that use the “natural” label are not forced to be inspected as a condition of using the label.
Don’t get trapped by watery foods
Water is the magic ingredient in prepared foods, and if it’s first on the list of ingredients, it’s clear that there’s a long list of additives (添加剂) to follow. ___15___.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。超市购物做到确保食物健康的秘诀是什么?本文介绍了一些切实可行的小妙招。
【11题详解】
根据上文“Shopping at the supermarket for groceries can be an adventure tour, for food producers don’t always have your best interests in mind.(在超市购买食品杂货可能会是一次有趣的探索之旅,因为食品生产商并不总是会从你的角度出发考虑问题)”可知,文章开头首句概述超市购物是一场带有冒险性质的旅途,空后一句提示下文将列举出一些解决此类问题的诀窍。因此本空应为提醒读者在超市购物时需要准备一些小妙招来进行应对,故E选项“下次去超市时,请务必牢记以下这些小贴士”符合逻辑。故选E。
【12题详解】
本段主题是“寻找成分表短的食品”。前文提到如果看到成分表很长,就把它放回去。F项(事实是,这些成分中的许多都是各种糖和化学物质)解释了为什么要避免长成分表的食品,与后文提到的“成分表越短,意味着添加糖和防腐剂越少”相呼应。故选F。
【13题详解】
根据上文“All organic farms must keep records and be inspected by officially recognized inspectors. Many supermarkets now carry some organic food, and farmers’ markets, health food stores, and individual farms are good sources of organic food.(所有有机农场都必须做好记录,并接受官方认可的检查员的检查。如今,许多大型超市都开始销售一些有机食品,而农民市场、健康食品店以及个体农场都是获取有机食品的优质来源)”以及本段主题是“Learn what “organic” really means(了解“有机”的真正含义)”可知,后文提到“所有的有机农场都必须保留记录并接受官方认可的检查员的检查”。D项(有机标签是通过官方批准的过程获得的)是对后文内容的概括和解释。故选D。
【14题详解】
根据后文“If you feel like the food labels “natural” and “organic” can be exchanged, well that’s exactly what food companies want you to think. Although there’s no single set of requirements for products claiming to be natural, such labels are still supposed to be accurate. Farmers or food companies that use the “natural” label are not forced to be inspected as a condition of using the label.(如果你觉得“天然”和“有机”这两个标签可以相互替代,那么这正是食品公司希望你这么认为的。尽管对于声称是“天然”的产品并没有统一的认证标准,但这些标签仍应是准确的。使用“天然”标签的农民或食品公司并不需要因为使用该标签而接受检查)”可知,这是本段的小标题。本段主要讲述了“天然”标签和“有机”标签的区别,指出“天然”标签没有严格的检查要求。A项(对“天然”标签要保持谨慎)准确概括了本段的警示内容。故选A。
【15题详解】
根据上文“Water is the magic ingredient in prepared foods, and if it’s first on the list of ingredients, it’s clear that there’s a long list of additives (添加剂) to follow.(水是预制食品中的神奇成分,如果水是配料表中的首位成分,那么显然接下来还会有大量的添加剂)”以及本段主题是“不要被含水量高的食物所困”。前文提到如果成分表第一位是水,后面通常跟着很多添加剂。后文提到“After all, soup does take a lot of water.(毕竟,汤确实需要大量的水)”可知,G项(在汤的成分表顶端看到水,你可能不会感到惊讶)是一个转折性的例子,既符合前文提到的“水排第一”,又引出了后文对汤的特殊情况的解释。故选G。

第六部分 写作(满分25分)
61. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My father was sixty. Though he had planned on retiring at fifty-five, he was still working hard. For him, raising four children — especially now that my mother had stopped working and was at home full time — meant he couldn’t afford to retire. It also meant he couldn’t make good on something he had promised my mother. “Sweetheart,” he’d say, “I’m going to take you on a cruise (乘船游览).” He still told her that, and only these days he added, “as soon as the kids are out of college.”
I knew that putting all of us kids through college probably meant it was going to be a while before my father achieved his dream of going away with my mother on a cruise — though it didn’t stop him from cutting out ads about cruise vacations! It was cute, but it was kind of sad, too. I remember my grandmother always wanted to go to Nova Scotia. My grandfather would always say, “We’ll go next year, sweetheart.” Then she died. My grandmother never got to see Nova Scotia. I just didn’t want my parents to wait until it was too late.
I decided to save up my money to send my parents on a cruise, even if it was a short three-day cruise. My friends said to me, “Get real! Saving up for a cruise is something you’ll never be able to do.” But I didn’t believe that. It was not like I could send them around the world or anything, but I didn’t think my putting together the money for a short trip was an impossible goal. I was determined that just as my parents had made my dreams come true for all these years from my first bicycle to my first soccer camp — I was going to do all I could to make their dream of going on a cruise come true.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I started doing part-time jobs and yard work around the neighborhood. It was my turn to do something for them to repay their love. I had a tight schedule every day: I would deliver milk at dawn, and worked as a waiter in a restaurant at night. It wasn’t always easy. There were times when I felt as if I was torn up because I had to strike the balance between work and study. However, at the thought of my parents’ long-awaited cruise trip, I persevered in the jobs no matter how tired I was. I knew that one more coin I earned meant one step closer to making their dream a reality.
One year later, I finally saved up enough money! I was overwhelmed by an incredible feeling of accomplishment and excitement when I checked my savings account balance. I couldn’t wait to book two cruise tickets for them. When they opened the envelope containing the tickets, their eyes widened with surprise and disbelief. With their eyes blurred with tears, they gave me a tight hug, thanking me over and over again. Then they spent three unforgettable days on the cruise trip, enjoying each other’s company. At that moment, I knew that all my hard work and sacrifices were worth it.
