A
Animal Communication
Humans are not the only ones who communicate. Animals use body language to tell each other how they feel and what they think. Here is a quick look at how some animals send messages.
Dogs
A happy dog will have its ears up and eyes wide open. It may bark, wag its tail, and run around in circles to invite you to play. But a frightened dog is a different story. It may lie on its back, close its eyes, show its teeth, and put its tail between its legs. An angry dog, on the other hand, will show its teeth and growl. It tries to make itself look as big as possible, with its tail standing straight out.
Elephants
Elephants communicate mostly through noises and body language. Their sense of smell is so developed that they can even tell if another elephant is sick. An elephant uses its trunk to make different sounds. These noises can mean “I’m hungry,” “I’m angry,” or “Good to see you!” Body language is also important. To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks and stand close together. If an elephant spreads its ears, it means “Watch out!”
Dolphins
Dolphins are highly social animals. When a dolphin is angry, it may hit its tail on the water surface to warn others that something is wrong. If it wants to send a message over a long distance or show its strength, it jumps high out of the water and lands on its side, making a loud noise. Dolphins also love to leap into the air while playing with their friends. However, when they are tired and need to rest, they swim in small groups just below the surface. If you see dolphins doing this, you should leave them alone.
1. How do elephants show friendship?
A. By standing close to smell the air. B. By touching each other with trunks.
C. By spreading their ears wide open. D. By making different sounds aloud.
2. Why do dolphins hit the water with their tails?
A. To warn others of possible danger.
B. To invite their friends for group play.
C. To show their strength to other dolphins.
D. To rest their bodies after long swimming.
3. Which section of a website is this text probably taken from?
A. Health. B. Nature. C. Travel. D. Education.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B

【导语】本文主要介绍了狗、大象、海豚几种动物的交流方式,讲解了不同状态下不同动物肢体语言代表的含义。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Elephants部分中的“To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks and stand close together.(为了表达友谊,大象会用象鼻触碰彼此,并且紧紧靠在一起站着。)”可知,大象通过用象鼻触碰彼此来表达友谊。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Dolphins部分中的“When a dolphin is angry, it may hit its tail on the water surface to warn others that something is wrong.(当海豚生气的时候,它会用尾巴拍击水面,以此警告其他海豚有不对劲的地方。)”可知,海豚用尾巴拍水是为了警告其他同伴潜在的危险。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Humans are not the only ones who communicate. Animals use body language to tell each other how they feel and what they think. Here is a quick look at how some animals send messages.(并非只有人类会交流。动物借助肢体语言向同类表达自身的情绪与想法。下文简要介绍几种动物传递信号的方式。)”可知,本文核心内容是介绍动物的交流行为,属于自然生物范畴,因此最可能出现在网站的自然板块。
B
I used to be upset by a sense of helplessness when watching television and reading about the indescribable suffering of the developing world’s children and their mothers. If I feel less helpless today, it’s because I have seen what can be done and what is being done by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), by governments and, most of all, by people themselves.
The effect of the huge burden of debt (债务) has made the poor even poorer and has fallen most heavily on mothers and children. We must do more about the alarming state in which the children in the developing world are only just surviving. This is especially true when we consider that the amount of money required is very small compared to the global spending. In fact, less than half of one percent of today’s world economy would be enough to remove the worst parts of poverty (贫困) and meet basic human needs over the next 10 years. In other words, there is no deficit in human resources. The deficit is in human will.
But there are organizations that do act on that will. I have known UNICEF for a long time. I was one of the tens of thousands of children in war-stricken Europe to receive aid from UNICEF immediately after our liberation (解放), and we were reduced to near total poverty, as is the developing world today. It is poverty that is at the root of all their suffering — not having the means to help themselves, and that is what UNICEF is all about: helping people to help themselves, giving them the aid to develop, and thereby allowing them to become independent and live with self-respect.
UNICEF’s business is children, not the workings of the international economy. Children are our most important resource, and our hope for the future. They are too weak to wait for hard times to pass. We must help them now not only to survive, but to hope and perhaps even to dream.
4. According to the passage, what has made the poor even poorer?
A. The weight of debt. B. The work of UNICEF.
C. The lack of support. D. The ignorance of society.
5. What does the underlined word “deficit” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Waste. B. Limit. C. Shortage. D. Importance.
6. Why does the author mention her childhood experience in Europe?
A. To compare poverty in two regions. B. To explain the author’s trust in UNICEF.
C. To prove Europe’s former poor state. D. To describe the hardships of childhood.
7. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. UNICEF: Past and Present B. The Power of Human Will
C. Poverty: A Global Problem D. Helping Children, Building Hope
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者对发展中国家儿童贫困问题的看法,强调了巨额债务对穷人的影响,指出解决贫困问题的对策并表达了对联合国儿童基金会的信任与赞扬。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The effect of the huge burden of debt (债务) has made the poor even poorer and has fallen most heavily on mothers and children.(巨额债务的重负让贫困者更加贫困,其影响最沉重地落在了母亲和儿童身上)”可知,是巨额债务的重负让贫困者更加贫困。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“In fact, less than half of one percent of today’s world economy would be enough to remove the worst parts of poverty (贫困) and meet basic human needs over the next 10 years. In other words, there is no … in human resources(事实上,当今世界经济中不到百分之零点五的资金就足以消除最严重的贫困,并在未来10年内满足人类的基本需求。换句话说,人力资源并不……)”可知,前文提到资金是足够的,即资源不“缺乏”,可推理出划线词“deficit”意为“缺乏,不足”,与shortage同义。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I have known UNICEF for a long time. I was one of the tens of thousands of children in war-stricken Europe to receive aid from UNICEF immediately after our liberation (解放), and we were reduced to near total poverty, as is the developing world today. It is poverty that is at the root of all their suffering — not having the means to help themselves, and that is what UNICEF is all about: helping people to help themselves, giving them the aid to develop, and thereby allowing them to become independent and live with self-respect(我认识联合国儿童基金会已有很长时间。在饱受战争蹂躏的欧洲,我是在获得解放后立刻得到联合国儿童基金会援助的成千上万名儿童之一——彼时的我们几乎陷入赤贫,正如当今的发展中国家一般。贫困是他们所有苦难的根源——他们缺乏自救的手段,而这正是联合国儿童基金会的宗旨所在:帮助人们实现自助,为他们提供发展援助,从而让他们能够独立,有尊严地生活)”可知,作者是得到联合国儿童基金会援助的成千上万名儿童之一,认为联合国儿童基金会能帮助人们实现自助,为他们提供发展援助,从而让他们能够独立,有尊严地生活,可推理出作者提及自己童年在欧洲的经历是为了说明自己很早就认识并了解UNICEF,从而解释作者对UNICEF的信任。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If I feel less helpless today, it’s because I have seen what can be done and what is being done by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), by governments and, most of all, by people themselves(如果说如今的我不再那么感到无助,那是因为我亲眼见证了联合国儿童基金会、各国政府,尤其是当地民众自身,所展现出的行动能力——既包括能够做到的事,也包括正在付诸实践的事)”以及最后一段“UNICEF’s business is children, not the workings of the international economy. Children are our most important resource, and our hope for the future. They are too weak to wait for hard times to pass. We must help them now not only to survive, but to hope and perhaps even to dream(联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)的核心使命是儿童,而非国际经济的运作。儿童是我们最重要的资源,更是未来的希望。他们太过弱小,无力等待艰难岁月自行消逝。我们必须即刻伸出援手,帮助他们——不仅是让他们得以生存,更要让他们心怀希望,甚至拥有梦想)”可知,全文始终围绕“帮助儿童、为儿童构建希望”这一核心脉络展开,既点明了帮助儿童的必要性,又凸显了助力儿童孕育希望的核心诉求,精准契合“帮助儿童,构建希望”的核心主旨。因此,最佳标题应聚焦“帮助儿童、构建希望”这一核心。
C
Tiny pieces of plastic are an increasingly serious issue. Known as microplastics, they may be from clothing, kitchen tools, personal care products, and countless other everyday objects. Their durability (耐久性) makes them remain in the environment longer, even inside human bodies.
According to a new study, a large part of our microplastics may come from drinking water, as wastewater treatment plants are still not effectively removing microplastics.
Roughly 9 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced globally since plastic production began, much of which has gradually become ever-smaller pieces without truly breaking down. These small pieces are now widespread in the soil and water around the world. Wastewater treatment plants actually do remove a lot of microplastics, the new study shows, but not enough.
“What our systematic study found is that while most wastewater treatment plants greatly reduce microplastic loads, complete removal remains impossible with current technologies,” says senior author Un-Jung Kim, an environmental engineer at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). “As a result, many microplastics are released back into the environment and these microplastics and other pollutants would exist in very small quantities, but we can be influenced through simple actions like drinking water, doing laundry, or watering plants, leading to potential long-term serious human health impacts.”
Without stronger regulation of microplastics, consumers are largely left to face the effects of microplastics on ecology and human health by themselves. Armed with the right information, however, it is possible to greatly cut back on effects.
One important point to remember, for example, is that microfibers represent a large part of microplastic pollution, many of which come from clothing made of synthetic (合成的) materials. “While communities must take steps to better find and check for microplastics when testing wastewater and water quality, consumers can already help by choosing to buy clothing and fabrics with less plastic whenever possible, knowing that tiny plastic threads are the most common type of microplastics continually sent out through wastewater,” Kim says.
8. What worries the author most about microplastics?
A. Their wide use in kitchen tools. B. Their long-lasting nature and risk.
C. Their hard-to-remove characteristic. D. Their completely unknown sources.
9. How do people take in microplastics according to Kim?
A. By breathing polluted air. B. By working at water plants.
C. By doing simple daily activities. D. By taking them in through skin.
10. What does Kim advise consumers to do?
A. To improve wastewater treatment. B. To stop using personal care products.
C. To test water quality at home regularly. D. To buy clothing with less plastic material.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Microplastics in drinking water. B. Health risks from microplastics.
C. Microplastic pollution and actions. D. Methods to avoid all microplastics.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕微塑料污染展开,介绍微塑料来源、难降解难彻底清除的特性、人体日常接触带来的长期健康隐患,同时提出政府监管与普通消费者可行的缓解办法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Their durability (耐久性) makes them remain in the environment longer, even inside human bodies. (微塑料耐久性强,会长久留存于环境甚至人体内部)”以及第四段 “As a result, many microplastics are released back into the environment and these microplastics and other pollutants would exist in very small quantities, but we can be influenced through simple actions like drinking water, doing laundry, or watering plants, leading to potential long-term serious human health impacts.(因此,许多微塑料会重新释放回环境中。这些微塑料和其他污染物虽然数量极少,但通过日常简单的行动,如饮用水、洗衣或浇水植物,我们仍可能受到影响,从而对人类健康造成潜在的长期严重危害)”可知,作者最担忧微塑料持久留存的特性以及随之而来的健康风险。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“As a result, many microplastics are released back into the environment and these microplastics and other pollutants would exist in very small quantities, but we can be influenced through simple actions like drinking water, doing laundry, or watering plants, leading to potential long-term serious human health impacts.(因此,许多微塑料会重新释放回环境中。这些微塑料和其他污染物虽然数量极少,但通过日常简单的行动,如饮用水、洗衣或浇水植物,我们仍可能受到影响,从而对人类健康造成潜在的长期严重危害)”可知,人们通过日常活动摄入了微塑料。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“While communities must take steps to better find and check for microplastics when testing wastewater and water quality, consumers can already help by choosing to buy clothing and fabrics with less plastic whenever possible, knowing that tiny plastic threads are the most common type of microplastics continually sent out through wastewater(虽然社区在检测废水和水质时必须采取措施,以更好地发现和检查微塑料,但消费者也可以通过尽可能选择使用含塑料较少的衣物和织物来贡献力量。因为已知,微小的塑料纤维是通过污水持续排放的最常见的微塑料类型)”可知,Kim建议消费者购买塑料材质更少的衣物。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第1段提出微塑料污染问题,点明其耐久性强、易留存于环境和人体;第2-4段说明微塑料来源、污水厂无法完全清除微塑料,日常行为会使人接触微塑料,存在长期健康隐患;第5段指出缺少管控,普通人可通过正确信息减轻微塑料危害;第6段说明微塑料一大来源是合成纤维衣物,分别给出管理方、消费者的解决办法。由此可知,全文既介绍微塑料污染现状与危害,又给出对应的解决行动,因此主旨为微塑料污染与应对措施。
D
After the Apollo Moon missions in the 1970s, sending astronauts to Mars seemed the next step, but it would be a “giant leap”. Space is big: while it took the Apollo astronauts only four days to reach the Moon, with present technology it would take about nine months to reach Mars. Clearly some more work is needed before we can send humans to Mars.
Before deciding to do such a risky journey, scientists have turned to various kinds of Earth-based simulation (模拟) where astronauts would deal with extreme environments. The latest took place in the Mars-like landscape of Hawaii, 2,500m up the side of the Mauna Loa volcano. On 28 August 2016, a group of six people came out after spending a full year there. They had been allowed out on simulated Mars walks, but only wearing a full space suit.
Mars Society president Robert Zubrin has a better mission plan in his mind. It involves first launching an unmanned Earth Return Vehicle (ERV) that would land on Mars and use solar or nuclear power and imported hydrogen to produce methane and oxygen from Martian CO2. This means that humans would set out only once they knew there would be a fuelled return vehicle waiting for them on Mars. A second ERV would be launched at the same time to provide back-up and, if all goes well, would be ready to bring the next team home two years later. In this way, a series of return trips would build up a number of living spaces on Mars for longer stays in the future. And because most of the fuel for the return trip would be made on Mars, Zubrin believes huge energy and cost savings could be made.
Then, far, far in the future, once there are first bases, then colonies, on Mars, comes the challenge of terraforming — making Mars like Earth. The stuff of science fiction? Yes, but as we’ve seen, so much of fiction becomes fact.
12. Why does the author mention the Apollo Moon missions?
A. To argue that Mars is easy to reach. B. To show the Moon trip was successful.
C. To compare Earth with other planets. D. To highlight the challenge of a Mars trip.
13. What do we know about the team of six in Hawaii?
A. They practiced living in a closed environment.
B. They designed new spacesuits for future trips.
C. They discovered a new kind of energy source.
D. They completed a true space flight successfully.
14. What is Zubrin’s suggestion about Mars exploration?
A. Sending humans to Mars at any cost. B. Producing fuel for the return on Mars.
C. Asking astronauts to walk freely on Mars. D. Building more homes before sending humans.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward sending humans to Mars?
A. Critical. B. Unclear. C. Cautious. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文探讨了人类登陆火星面临的挑战及可能的解决方案。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“After the Apollo Moon missions in the 1970s, sending astronauts to Mars seemed the next step, but it would be a “giant leap”. Space is big: while it took the Apollo astronauts only four days to reach the Moon, with present technology it would take about nine months to reach Mars. (20世纪70年代阿波罗登月任务之后,将宇航员送上火星似乎是下一步,但这将是一个“巨大的飞跃”。太空浩瀚:阿波罗宇航员到达月球只花了四天时间,而以目前的技术,到达火星大约需要九个月。)”可知,作者提及阿波罗登月任务是为了突出前往火星的挑战性。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Before deciding to do such a risky journey, scientists have turned to various kinds of Earth-based simulation (模拟) where astronauts would deal with extreme environments. The latest took place in the Mars-like landscape of Hawaii, 2,500m up the side of the Mauna Loa volcano. On 28 August 2016, a group of six people came out after spending a full year there. They had been allowed out on simulated Mars walks, but only wearing a full space suit. (在决定进行这样一次危险的旅程之前,科学家们转向了各种基于地球的模拟环境,让宇航员应对极端环境。最新的一次模拟发生在夏威夷冒纳罗亚火山海拔2500米处的类火星地貌中。2016年8月28日,一组六个人在那里待了整整一年后出来了。他们被允许进行模拟火星行走,但必须穿着全套太空服。)”可知,这六个人在夏威夷练习在封闭环境中生活。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“This means that humans would set out only once they knew there would be a fuelled return vehicle waiting for them on Mars. (这意味着,只有当人类知道火星上会有一辆加满燃料的返回飞行器在等待他们时,他们才会出发。)”以及“And because most of the fuel for the return trip would be made on Mars, Zubrin believes huge energy and cost savings could be made. (而且,因为返程的大部分燃料将在火星上制造,祖布林相信可以节省大量能源和成本。)”可知,祖布林关于火星探索的建议是在火星上生产返程燃料。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章首先介绍了前往火星的挑战,接着讲述了科学家进行的模拟实验以及祖布林的探索计划,最后提到未来改造火星的设想,并表示“Yes, but as we’ve seen, so much of fiction becomes fact. (是的,但正如我们所见,很多科幻小说都变成了现实。)”,由此可以看出作者对将人类送上火星持支持态度。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
List-making, or writing things down on a list, is widely popular. From to-do lists to bucket lists (愿望清单), list-making is everywhere. Every time we finish a task and check it off, we enjoy a little sense of satisfaction. ____16____ It offers some deeper benefits as well.
Lists reduce anxiety. There’s a well-known technique called “Worry Time”. Whenever you notice a worry, write it down. Tell yourself you can’t worry about it until Worry Time, and go on to something else. Once a day, set aside 10 or 15 minutes to review your list. ____17____
Lists help us remember and let us forget. Keep a daily or weekly list, a monthly list, or a longer-term yearly list. Short-term lists help keep track of appointments, people to contact, study time, or other small things. ____18____ They can include finding a yoga class, reading a good book, planning a holiday, or something similar. But remember when it’s not time to write or review your list, let it go, believing it’ll be right there when you need it.
Lists turn goals into reality. Any goal, short or long-term, is more likely to be achieved once written down. ____19____ Whether on paper or screen, it takes a physical form in the world, and you’re more likely to achieve it.
____20____ Keep a list by your bed. When you wake up worrying, write down your issue, then roll over and go back to sleep, knowing you can handle it the next day.
List-making really does work. Whether digitally or by hand, it helps us focus, think, and reflect on what truly matters. So grab a pen and get started.
A. Lists even help with sleep issues.
B. Lists help you organize your thoughts.
C. Longer-term lists focus on bigger goals.
D. It is no longer just an idea in your mind.
E. List-making has more advantages than this.
F. List-making helps you remember daily plans.
G. You’ll find this habit simply makes anxieties lighter.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了列清单的种种益处。
【16题详解】
根据前文“List-making, or writing things down on a list, is widely popular. From to-do lists to bucket lists (愿望清单), list-making is everywhere. Every time we finish a task and check it off, we enjoy a little sense of satisfaction.(列清单,也就是把事情写在列表上,是一种非常普遍的行为。从待办事项清单到人生愿望清单,无处不在。每当我们完成一项任务并将其勾选时,都会感到一丝满足感。)”和后文“It offers some deeper benefits as well.(它还带来了一些更深层次的好处。)”可知,此处是指列清单的好处不止前文提到的满足感,所以选项E“List-making has more advantages than this.(列清单的优势不止这一点。)”切合语境。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Lists reduce anxiety. There’s a well-known technique called “Worry Time”. Whenever you notice a worry, write it down. Tell yourself you can’t worry about it until Worry Time, and go on to something else. Once a day, set aside 10 or 15 minutes to review your list.(清单能减轻焦虑。有一种被称为“担忧时间”的方法,当你意识到有烦恼时,就把它写下来。告诉自己,在“担忧时间”到来之前,不能为此烦恼,然后继续做别的事情。每天花10到15分钟回顾你的清单。)”可知,此处是指养成列烦恼清单的习惯能够缓解焦虑,所以选项G“You’ll find this habit simply makes anxieties lighter.(你会发现,这种习惯能让你的焦虑感变得轻松一些。)”切合语境。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Short-term lists help keep track of appointments, people to contact, study time, or other small things.(短期清单有助于记录约会、需要联系的人、学习时间或其他琐碎事项。)”和后文“They can include finding a yoga class, reading a good book, planning a holiday, or something similar.(它们可能包括参加瑜伽课、读一本好书、计划一次假期,或类似的事情。)”可知,此处是指长期清单用于记录比较大的目标,所以选项C“Longer-term lists focus on bigger goals.(长期清单侧重于更大的目标。)”切合语境。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Lists turn goals into reality. Any goal, short or long-term, is more likely to be achieved once written down.(清单能将目标变为现实。无论目标是短期还是长期,一旦写下来,实现的可能性就会大大增加。)”和后文“Whether on paper or screen, it takes a physical form in the world, and you’re more likely to achieve it.(无论是在纸上还是屏幕上,它都会在现实中获得实体形态,而你实现它的可能性也更大。)”可知,此处是指目标一旦写下来,就不再只存在于脑海中,就更有可能实现,所以选项D“It is no longer just an idea in your mind.(这已不再只是你脑海中的一个想法。)”切合语境。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Keep a list by your bed. When you wake up worrying, write down your issue, then roll over and go back to sleep, knowing you can handle it the next day.(在床边备一份清单。当你醒来时感到焦虑,就把问题写下来,然后翻个身继续入睡,心里清楚第二天一定能应对好。)”可知,此处是讲在床边备一份清单可以缓解睡眠问题,所以选项A“Lists even help with sleep issues.(清单甚至有助于改善睡眠问题。)”切合语境。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Five months after my husband Steve died, I woke up one morning to the maddening sound of a leaking (漏水的) tap. I knew it needed ____21____ badly, but it hurt me so much just to think of it.
All our shared life, I was the “artist”, bringing to our house much ____22____. Steve was the “practical” one. He had a real gift for ____23____ chores, sheltering me from unpleasant repair jobs.
But how could such a good man ____24____ so suddenly! I had been so sad and angry that I ____25____ ignored the house. That leaky tap somehow ____26____ me to the fact that I now had to face the challenge of getting things fixed.
I got a workman named Ahmed. Entering the house, he stopped before a(n) ____27____ of Steve and me. “Doesn’t your husband like this kind of work?” he asked.
“He died months ago. When ____28____, he did all repairs wonderfully,” I said quietly.

47. 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 First Flood Experience
Reading about floods in books is easy, but living through one is different. Though the flood was not too terrible, I was unprepared for its real effect. Those uncertain moments felt nothing like what I had read.
It started two days ago with nonstop heavy rain. At first it seemed normal, but adults grew anxious. I followed the news. Weather experts warned the rain would last. I didn’t fully understand the danger because Mom always said rain helps plants. Still, she reminded us to check on Grandma Green, our elderly neighbor who lives alone.
The next morning, I woke to darkness and silence. The power was out. Mom and Dad were not at the table. A note on the fridge told me not to open it. Then I heard gurgling (汨汨流水声) from the basement. I looked down and was shocked: water covered the floor, and my toys floated in dirty water.
Dad called that the whole town had lost power. Our basement was flooded, along with many roads and houses. At first I didn’t panic, but even after my parents cleared water out by hand, the basement was badly damaged. They planned to dry it with fans once power returned. A generator (发电机) would be necessary.
After dealing with our basement, we drove around town. Many roads and a river bridge were blocked. Houses near the river were nearly underwater, windows covered in thick mud. We stopped to help our neighbors fill sandbags to protect their homes from further damage.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, a weak cry for help reached our ears. We followed it to Grandma Green’s house, where water had climbed halfway up her steps. Through the window, we saw her clinging to a table, her face pale with fear. Dad kicked open the swollen door, and we waded in. I grabbed her trembling hand while Mom steadied her waist. Together, we carried her through the current to our truck. She collapsed in the back seat, coughing but alive, her thin fingers still clutching my arm.
Shortly after we rescued Grandma Green, the grey sky unexpectedly cleared. Sunlight broke through, turning the receding water into shimmering mirrors. Neighbors emerged with shovels, sharing generators and hot soup. Grandma Green, wrapped in Mom’s blanket, pressed a cold hand to my cheek. “You kept your promise,” she whispered. I looked around at the mud-caked faces and finally understood what those books had missed. Floods don’t just destroy; they reveal who we choose to become together.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Animal Communication
Humans are not the only ones who communicate. Animals use body language to tell each other how they feel and what they think. Here is a quick look at how some animals send messages.
Dogs
A happy dog will have its ears up and eyes wide open. It may bark, wag its tail, and run around in circles to invite you to play. But a frightened dog is a different story. It may lie on its back, close its eyes, show its teeth, and put its tail between its legs. An angry dog, on the other hand, will show its teeth and growl. It tries to make itself look as big as possible, with its tail standing straight out.
Elephants
Elephants communicate mostly through noises and body language. Their sense of smell is so developed that they can even tell if another elephant is sick. An elephant uses its trunk to make different sounds. These noises can mean “I’m hungry,” “I’m angry,” or “Good to see you!” Body language is also important. To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks and stand close together. If an elephant spreads its ears, it means “Watch out!”
Dolphins
Dolphins are highly social animals. When a dolphin is angry, it may hit its tail on the water surface to warn others that something is wrong. If it wants to send a message over a long distance or show its strength, it jumps high out of the water and lands on its side, making a loud noise. Dolphins also love to leap into the air while playing with their friends. However, when they are tired and need to rest, they swim in small groups just below the surface. If you see dolphins doing this, you should leave them alone.
1. How do elephants show friendship?
A. By standing close to smell the air. B. By touching each other with trunks.
C. By spreading their ears wide open. D. By making different sounds aloud.
2. Why do dolphins hit the water with their tails?
A. To warn others of possible danger.
B. To invite their friends for group play.
C. To show their strength to other dolphins.
D. To rest their bodies after long swimming.
3. Which section of a website is this text probably taken from?
A. Health. B. Nature. C. Travel. D. Education.
B
I used to be upset by a sense of helplessness when watching television and reading about the indescribable suffering of the developing world’s children and their mothers. If I feel less helpless today, it’s because I have seen what can be done and what is being done by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), by governments and, most of all, by people themselves.
The effect of the huge burden of debt (债务) has made the poor even poorer and has fallen most heavily on mothers and children. We must do more about the alarming state in which the children in the developing world are only just surviving. This is especially true when we consider that the amount of money required is very small compared to the global spending. In fact, less than half of one percent of today’s world economy would be enough to remove the worst parts of poverty (贫困) and meet basic human needs over the next 10 years. In other words, there is no deficit in human resources. The deficit is in human will.
But there are organizations that do act on that will. I have known UNICEF for a long time. I was one of the tens of thousands of children in war-stricken Europe to receive aid from UNICEF immediately after our liberation (解放), and we were reduced to near total poverty, as is the developing world today. It is poverty that is at the root of all their suffering — not having the means to help themselves, and that is what UNICEF is all about: helping people to help themselves, giving them the aid to develop, and thereby allowing them to become independent and live with self-respect.
UNICEF’s business is children, not the workings of the international economy. Children are our most important resource, and our hope for the future. They are too weak to wait for hard times to pass. We must help them now not only to survive, but to hope and perhaps even to dream.
4. According to the passage, what has made the poor even poorer?
A. The weight of debt. B. The work of UNICEF.
C. The lack of support. D. The ignorance of society.
5. What does the underlined word “deficit” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Waste. B. Limit. C. Shortage. D. Importance.
6. Why does the author mention her childhood experience in Europe?
A. To compare poverty in two regions. B. To explain the author’s trust in UNICEF.
C. To prove Europe’s former poor state. D. To describe the hardships of childhood.
7. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. UNICEF: Past and Present B. The Power of Human Will
C. Poverty: A Global Problem D. Helping Children, Building Hope
C
Tiny pieces of plastic are an increasingly serious issue. Known as microplastics, they may be from clothing, kitchen tools, personal care products, and countless other everyday objects. Their durability (耐久性) makes them remain in the environment longer, even inside human bodies.
According to a new study, a large part of our microplastics may come from drinking water, as wastewater treatment plants are still not effectively removing microplastics.
Roughly 9 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced globally since plastic production began, much of which has gradually become ever-smaller pieces without truly breaking down. These small pieces are now widespread in the soil and water around the world. Wastewater treatment plants actually do remove a lot of microplastics, the new study shows, but not enough.
“What our systematic study found is that while most wastewater treatment plants greatly reduce microplastic loads, complete removal remains impossible with current technologies,” says senior author Un-Jung Kim, an environmental engineer at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). “As a result, many microplastics are released back into the environment and these microplastics and other pollutants would exist in very small quantities, but we can be influenced through simple actions like drinking water, doing laundry, or watering plants, leading to potential long-term serious human health impacts.”
Without stronger regulation of microplastics, consumers are largely left to face the effects of microplastics on ecology and human health by themselves. Armed with the right information, however, it is possible to greatly cut back on effects.
One important point to remember, for example, is that microfibers represent a large part of microplastic pollution, many of which come from clothing made of synthetic (合成的) materials. “While communities must take steps to better find and check for microplastics when testing wastewater and water quality, consumers can already help by choosing to buy clothing and fabrics with less plastic whenever possible, knowing that tiny plastic threads are the most common type of microplastics continually sent out through wastewater,” Kim says.
8. What worries the author most about microplastics?
A. Their wide use in kitchen tools. B. Their long-lasting nature and risk.
C. Their hard-to-remove characteristic. D. Their completely unknown sources.
9. How do people take in microplastics according to Kim?
A. By breathing polluted air. B. By working at water plants.
C. By doing simple daily activities. D. By taking them in through skin.
10. What does Kim advise consumers to do?
A. To improve wastewater treatment. B. To stop using personal care products.
C. To test water quality at home regularly. D. To buy clothing with less plastic material.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Microplastics in drinking water. B. Health risks from microplastics.
C. Microplastic pollution and actions. D. Methods to avoid all microplastics.

After the Apollo Moon missions in the 1970s, sending astronauts to Mars seemed the next step, but it would be a “giant leap”. Space is big: while it took the Apollo astronauts only four days to reach the Moon, with present technology it would take about nine months to reach Mars. Clearly some more work is needed before we can send humans to Mars.
Before deciding to do such a risky journey, scientists have turned to various kinds of Earth-based simulation (模拟) where astronauts would deal with extreme environments. The latest took place in the Mars-like landscape of Hawaii, 2,500m up the side of the Mauna Loa volcano. On 28 August 2016, a group of six people came out after spending a full year there. They had been allowed out on simulated Mars walks, but only wearing a full space suit.
Mars Society president Robert Zubrin has a better mission plan in his mind. It involves first launching an unmanned Earth Return Vehicle (ERV) that would land on Mars and use solar or nuclear power and imported hydrogen to produce methane and oxygen from Martian CO2. This means that humans would set out only once they knew there would be a fuelled return vehicle waiting for them on Mars. A second ERV would be launched at the same time to provide back-up and, if all goes well, would be ready to bring the next team home two years later. In this way, a series of return trips would build up a number of living spaces on Mars for longer stays in the future. And because most of the fuel for the return trip would be made on Mars, Zubrin believes huge energy and cost savings could be made.

Lists reduce anxiety. There’s a well-known technique called “Worry Time”. Whenever you notice a worry, write it down. Tell yourself you can’t worry about it until Worry Time, and go on to something else. Once a day, set aside 10 or 15 minutes to review your list. ____17____

Short-term lists help keep track of appointments, people to contact, study time, or other small things. ____18____ They can include finding a yoga class, reading a good book, planning a holiday, or something similar. But remember when it’s not time to write or review your list, let it go, believing it’ll be right there when you need it.

____20____ Keep a list by your bed. When you wake up worrying, write down your issue, then roll over and go back to sleep, knowing you can handle it the next day.

47. 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 First Flood Experience
Reading about floods in books is easy, but living through one is different. Though the flood was not too terrible, I was unprepared for its real effect. Those uncertain moments felt nothing like what I had read.
It started two days ago with nonstop heavy rain. At first it seemed normal, but adults grew anxious. I followed the news. Weather experts warned the rain would last. I didn’t fully understand the danger because Mom always said rain helps plants. Still, she reminded us to check on Grandma Green, our elderly neighbor who lives alone.
The next morning, I woke to darkness and silence. The power was out. Mom and Dad were not at the table. A note on the fridge told me not to open it. Then I heard gurgling (汨汨流水声) from the basement. I looked down and was shocked: water covered the floor, and my toys floated in dirty water.
Dad called that the whole town had lost power. Our basement was flooded, along with many roads and houses. At first I didn’t panic, but even after my parents cleared water out by hand, the basement was badly damaged. They planned to dry it with fans once power returned. A generator (发电机) would be necessary.
After dealing with our basement, we drove around town. Many roads and a river bridge were blocked. Houses near the river were nearly underwater, windows covered in thick mud. We stopped to help our neighbors fill sandbags to protect their homes from further damage.
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。
Suddenly, a weak cry for help reached our ears.

Shortly after we rescued Grandma Green, the grey sky unexpectedly cleared.
