For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops. After all, one person’s garbage may be another person’s treasure. I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought that if these were mine or my family’s, I’d want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I’ve visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50,000 of these items. I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I’ve also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized (数字化) it. It was a video of two parents and a son of university age on a trip in the 1990s — the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. At last, the family was found. They couldn’t believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape. Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite affecting when seeing the items again — most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again. I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don’t get lost.
4. Why did the author return old photos two years ago?
A. To do what he thought was worth doing.
B. To exchange them for more valuable items.
C. To discover more stories behind them.
D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
5. How did the family reunite with the video tape?
A. By recalling the past.
B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. With the help of the author and his fans.
D. Through a T-shirt with the family names.
6. What’s the probable reaction of people seeing the lost items again?
A. They feel at a loss. B. They’re filled with strong emotions.
C. They tend to remove them. D. They clean them again.
7. What is a rule observed by the author?
A. Throwing the items into the rubbish.
B. Giving up social media as much as possible.
C. Returning lost items to social organizations.
D. Deleting the online posts if not permitted.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者发现一些无意中被丢弃的照片和其他物品,尽力寻回其主人的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I thought that if these were mine or my family’s, I’d want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others. (我想如果这些是我或我家人的,我会希望有人把它们还给我。所以我把为别人做这件事作为我的目标。)”可知,作者换位思考,认为自己会希望别人把东西还回来。由此推知,他两年前还旧照片是因为要去做他认为值得做的事。故选A项。

(我在社交媒体上的粉丝联系了美国各大学的体育部,询问上世纪90年代的游泳教练是否认出了这名学生。)”可知,作者建立社交媒体账户发布录像带,他的粉丝帮忙寻找相关线索,通过作者和粉丝的帮助,最终这家人重新得到这盘录像带。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“People are often quite affecting when seeing the items again — most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again. (当人们再次看到这些东西时,往往会很受触动——大多数这些东西都是在搬家或家人去世后丢失的,因为他们以为再也见不到这些东西了。)”可知,当人们再次看到丢失的物品时,他们往往充满了强烈的情感。故选B项。

C
Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it’s driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.
Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France’s TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42, 000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70,000 kilometers by 2035.
But the United States detoured the revolution. For the rich and economically successful nation on the planet, with an increasingly urbanized population of more than 300 million, it is increasingly difficult to give a good reason. Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s.Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.
“Many Americans have no concept of high-speed rail and fail to see its value,” says William C. Vantuono, editor-in-chief of Railway Age, North America’s oldest railroad industry publication.
“It’s logical that the United States hasn’t yet developed a nationwide high-speed network, "says Scott Sherin, chief commercial officer of train builder Alstom’s US division. “For decades, traveling by car wasn’t a hardship, but as highway congestion (堵塞) gets worse, we’ve reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.”
“The magic numbers are centers of population with around three million people that are 200 to 500 miles apart, giving a trip time of less than three hours — preferably two hours, where those conditions apply in Europe and Asia, high-speed rail reduces air’s share of the market from 100%to near zero. The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally.” adds Scott Sherin.
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The value of high-speed trains. B. The growth of high-speed trains.
C. The hardship of high-speed trains. D. The revolution of high-speed trains.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To introduce a new topic. B. To give a possible explanation.
C. To define a meaning. D. To draw a comparison.
10. What does the underlined word “detoured” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Didn’t get involved in. B. Didn’t change.
C. Didn’t give up. D. Didn’t protest.
11. What does Scott Sherin think of the United States developing high-speed trains?
A. It is developing high-speed rail. B. It should be cautious.
C. It is losing its market share. D. It should be flexible.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在过去的五十年里,高铁的发展推动了经济的发展,创造了巨大的社会价值。本文主要介绍了美国的交通现状及美国人对高铁的认知和态度,分析了高铁在美国未来发展的可能性。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it’s driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.(在过去的50年里,事实证明,高铁不仅缩短了旅行时间,更重要的是,它推动了经济增长,创造了就业机会,使社区更加紧密)”可知,第一段主要表达了高铁的社会价值。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France’s TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42, 000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70,000 kilometers by 2035.(虽然日本在1964年就以新干线“子弹头列车”开启了这一潮流,但真正推动全球高速列车革命并持续加速的,是20世纪80年代初法国TGV的到来。自2008年以来,中国已经建设了大约4.2万公里的高速铁路,并计划到2035年超过7万公里)”可知,第二段分别对日本、法国和中国在高铁发展方面所做出的成绩作了说明,接着引出第三段“But the United States detoured the revolution.(但是美国避开了这场革命)”。由此推知,第二段的目的是为了与美国高铁发展的现状作对比,进一步讲述美国的交通现状和对待高铁的态度。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s.Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.(自20世纪50年代以来,汽车和飞机一直主导着美国的长途旅行。现在,美国人仍然几乎完全依赖于拥挤的高速公路或容易崩溃的航空网络)”可知,美国并未进行高铁的建设和发展,交通方式仍然以公路和航空为主;结合划线词所在句的“But”可知,美国并未参与这次的全球高铁革命。由此可知,划线词“detoured”表示“没有参与”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Scott的话“For decades, traveling by car wasn’t a hardship, but as highway congestion (堵塞) gets worse, we’ve reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.(几十年来,开车出行并不是一件难事,但随着高速公路拥堵的加剧,我们已经到了一个应该开始更认真地寻找替代方案的阶段)”和最后一段“The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally.(这种模式在美国和在全球同样有效)”可推知,Scott Sherin认为高铁在美国的发展应该是灵活的,美国应该根据自己的需求来建设和发展高铁,以解决交通拥堵问题。故选D。
D
Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior? Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted three studies looking at this “selfish” effect, analyzing changes in neural(神经系统的)activity and behavior that benefit others, and found it was common even after a small loss of sleep.
Research scientists Eti Ben Simon and Matthew Walker told that this finding was most surprising. “Even if we only sleep one hour less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need,” said Ben Simon.
In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time(夏令时). This drop was not seen in states that don’t follow the one-hour forward, In the second study, the researchers looked at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. The areas of the brain associated with theory of mind were less active after sleep loss, this study found. In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that sleep quantity and quality both typically influenced emotional and social behavior. “These findings could suggest that once sleep time rises above some basic amount, sleep quality is the most critical factor that influences desire to help other people,” Dr. Ivana Rosenzweig, a sleep physician said.
Ben Simon and Walker hope their research will allow people to regain a full night of sleep if necessary. “Sleep loss fundamentally changes the way we are social and emotional creatures,” Walker said.
12. What will happen if people lack sleep according to new research?
A. It makes them kind and motivated.
B. It will cause damage to their health.
C. It will increase the possibility of helping others.
D. It may discourage them from doing good deeds.
13. What can we know about the first study from the text?
A. It was based on a database from advertisers.
B. It discovered the brain less active after sleep loss.
C. It saw a 10%drop in donations in all states.
D. It focused on the donation behavior of people.
14. How is the text organized?
A. Hypothetical—Real. B. Cause—Effect
C. Phenomenon—Analysis. D. General—Particular.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Three Important Studies
B. The Less Sleep, the More Selfish?
C. A Delightful Finding about Sleep Loss
D. Sleep Quality or Sleep Quantity Matters More?
【答案】12. D 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的研究发现——该研究表明,睡眠不足会影响一个人帮助别人的可能性,也就是带来自私的行为。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.(根据发表在《公共科学图书馆之生物学》杂志上的一项新研究,睡眠不足会影响一个人帮助别人的可能性。)”以及第三段““Even if we only sleep one hour less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need,” said Ben Simon.( Ben Simon说:“即使我们只少睡一个小时,也足以影响我们帮助别人的选择,打击我们人性的善良和帮助有需要的人的动机。”)”可知,当一个人缺少睡眠的时候,就不太愿意帮助别人。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time(夏令时).(在第一项研究中,通过查看2001年至2016年期间300万笔慈善捐款的数据库,Eti Ben Simon、Matthew Walker和他们的同事发现,夏令时后捐款减少了10%。)”可知,第一项研究主要集中研究人们的捐款。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior? Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.(睡眠被广泛认为是生命的必要过程之一。但是你是否知道不眠之夜也会导致自私的行为?根据发表在《公共科学图书馆之生物学》杂志上的一项新研究,睡眠不足会影响一个人帮助别人的可能性。)”可知,第一段首先提出一个研究发现的结果,或者说是一种现象。而下文则对这种现象的产生进行分析研究。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior? Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.(睡眠被广泛认为是生命的必要过程之一。但是你是否知道不眠之夜也会导致自私的行为?根据发表在《公共科学图书馆之生物学》杂志上的一项新研究,睡眠不足会影响一个人帮助别人的可能性。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲的是睡眠不足会带来自私的行为。故选B。

“Hey, Adam, I’m sorry I’m not there with you right now. Happy birthday.”
“Thanks, Dad. Are you coming home later for the party?”
“Um, well, something’s come up, darling. I might not be able to make it, but I’ll have Rose get you the best cake. Just tell her what you need, OK? Sorry, I really want to be there, but you know how busy my work is right now... I’m really busy.”
The call went silent. “Hey, Adam, You there? I’ll try to make time, OK? Hello? ...”
Jaden removed the phone from his ear and realized the call was disconnected. Adam had hung up.
Jaden let out a sigh. “I’m sorry, this is something I’m doing for you.”
Jaden owned a million-dollar farm business, and he was planning on expanding it. For that very reason, he was several miles away from his son, traveling to a village.
He pulled the car near the roadside and dialed his son immediately. But clearly, the call didn’t go well, Like several other times, Adam was disappointed that Jaden wasn’t there for him.
When Adam was a child, Jaden could easily ask him for forgiveness by getting him toys, chocolates and anything the boy loved.
But as an 11-year-old boy, Adam had started comprehending things. He was becoming curious and knew his dad was putting work before him. That hurt the youngster in many ways, and since Jaden’s wife passed away and he wasn’t always there for Adam, the boy was being looked after by his aunt, Rose.
As Jaden was driving along the rough road, suddenly he found a car stopped there and the driver was waving to him. Jaden stepped out of his car and approached the driver, “What’s up, sir?”
“I’m Paul, sorry to interrupt you. I’m driving a long way here to meet a client, but the battery of my smartphone runs out and my GPS doesn’t work, so I can’t figure out the route. I regret not bringing my driver for his wife was ill and I think he needs more time to accompany his wife,” the man said anxiously, After guiding Paul to his client, Jaden was lost in thought.

After running for fifteen minutes, Jaden was out of breath when he reached home.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jaden changed his idea, thinking it was the most important to celebrate his son’s birthday. So he made a call to delay his business and drove back home, which he wanted to be a surprise. Jaden was probably a few miles away from his home when his car broke down. “Oh, too bad!” he sighed. He jumped out and tried to find if someone could give him a lift, but no luck. He had to run all the way home because he didn’t want to miss his son’s birthday.
After running for fifteen minutes, Jaden was out of breath when he reached home. “Adam. I’m sorry I am late,” he said very sadly as walking through the door. Adam stood there in astonishment, forgetting about what he was doing. Gradually, Adam came to realize what had happened, and he rushed to his father and hugged him tightly. With Adam’s saying thanks to his father, thunderous applause rang through the hall. Just then Jaden understood what Adam needed most was his love and care. He decided to spend more time with Adam in the future.

For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops. After all, one person’s garbage may be another person’s treasure. I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought that if these were mine or my family’s, I’d want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I’ve visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50,000 of these items. I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I’ve also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized (数字化) it. It was a video of two parents and a son of university age on a trip in the 1990s — the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. At last, the family was found. They couldn’t believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape. Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite affecting when seeing the items again — most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again. I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don’t get lost.
4. Why did the author return old photos two years ago?
A. To do what he thought was worth doing.
B. To exchange them for more valuable items.
C. To discover more stories behind them.
D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
5. How did the family reunite with the video tape?
A. By recalling the past.
B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. With the help of the author and his fans.
D. Through a T-shirt with the family names.
6. What’s the probable reaction of people seeing the lost items again?
A. They feel at a loss. B. They’re filled with strong emotions.
C. They tend to remove them. D. They clean them again.
7. What is a rule observed by the author?
A. Throwing the items into the rubbish.
B. Giving up social media as much as possible.
C. Returning lost items to social organizations.
D. Deleting the online posts if not permitted.
C
Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it’s driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.
Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France’s TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42, 000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70,000 kilometers by 2035.
But the United States detoured the revolution. For the rich and economically successful nation on the planet, with an increasingly urbanized population of more than 300 million, it is increasingly difficult to give a good reason. Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s.Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.
“Many Americans have no concept of high-speed rail and fail to see its value,” says William C. Vantuono, editor-in-chief of Railway Age, North America’s oldest railroad industry publication.
“It’s logical that the United States hasn’t yet developed a nationwide high-speed network, "says Scott Sherin, chief commercial officer of train builder Alstom’s US division. “For decades, traveling by car wasn’t a hardship, but as highway congestion (堵塞) gets worse, we’ve reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.”
“The magic numbers are centers of population with around three million people that are 200 to 500 miles apart, giving a trip time of less than three hours — preferably two hours, where those conditions apply in Europe and Asia, high-speed rail reduces air’s share of the market from 100%to near zero. The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally.” adds Scott Sherin.
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The value of high-speed trains. B. The growth of high-speed trains.
C. The hardship of high-speed trains. D. The revolution of high-speed trains.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To introduce a new topic. B. To give a possible explanation.
C. To define a meaning. D. To draw a comparison.
10. What does the underlined word “detoured” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Didn’t get involved in. B. Didn’t change.
C. Didn’t give up. D. Didn’t protest.
11. What does Scott Sherin think of the United States developing high-speed trains?
A. It is developing high-speed rail. B. It should be cautious.
C. It is losing its market share. D. It should be flexible.
D
Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior? Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted three studies looking at this “selfish” effect, analyzing changes in neural(神经系统的)activity and behavior that benefit others, and found it was common even after a small loss of sleep.
Research scientists Eti Ben Simon and Matthew Walker told that this finding was most surprising. “Even if we only sleep one hour less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need,” said Ben Simon.
In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time(夏令时). This drop was not seen in states that don’t follow the one-hour forward, In the second study, the researchers looked at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. The areas of the brain associated with theory of mind were less active after sleep loss, this study found. In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that sleep quantity and quality both typically influenced emotional and social behavior. “These findings could suggest that once sleep time rises above some basic amount, sleep quality is the most critical factor that influences desire to help other people,” Dr. Ivana Rosenzweig, a sleep physician said.
Ben Simon and Walker hope their research will allow people to regain a full night of sleep if necessary. “Sleep loss fundamentally changes the way we are social and emotional creatures,” Walker said.

“Hey, Adam, I’m sorry I’m not there with you right now. Happy birthday.”
“Thanks, Dad. Are you coming home later for the party?”
“Um, well, something’s come up, darling. I might not be able to make it, but I’ll have Rose get you the best cake. Just tell her what you need, OK? Sorry, I really want to be there, but you know how busy my work is right now... I’m really busy.”
The call went silent. “Hey, Adam, You there? I’ll try to make time, OK? Hello? ...”
Jaden removed the phone from his ear and realized the call was disconnected. Adam had hung up.
Jaden let out a sigh. “I’m sorry, this is something I’m doing for you.”
Jaden owned a million-dollar farm business, and he was planning on expanding it. For that very reason, he was several miles away from his son, traveling to a village.
He pulled the car near the roadside and dialed his son immediately. But clearly, the call didn’t go well, Like several other times, Adam was disappointed that Jaden wasn’t there for him.
When Adam was a child, Jaden could easily ask him for forgiveness by getting him toys, chocolates and anything the boy loved.
But as an 11-year-old boy, Adam had started comprehending things. He was becoming curious and knew his dad was putting work before him. That hurt the youngster in many ways, and since Jaden’s wife passed away and he wasn’t always there for Adam, the boy was being looked after by his aunt, Rose.
As Jaden was driving along the rough road, suddenly he found a car stopped there and the driver was waving to him. Jaden stepped out of his car and approached the driver, “What’s up, sir?”
“I’m Paul, sorry to interrupt you. I’m driving a long way here to meet a client, but the battery of my smartphone runs out and my GPS doesn’t work, so I can’t figure out the route. I regret not bringing my driver for his wife was ill and I think he needs more time to accompany his wife,” the man said anxiously, After guiding Paul to his client, Jaden was lost in thought.
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。
Jaden changed his idea, thinking it was the most important to celebrate his son’s birthday.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After running for fifteen minutes, Jaden was out of breath when he reached home.
