【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要论述了工作与健康之间的联系,说明工作不仅能让人远离孤独、保持活力,还能带来成就感,从而让人们更快乐、更健康。
【44题详解】
句意:工作对健康是有益的。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作表语。后文提到努力工作的人比没有工作的人更长寿,体现了工作对健康的好处,且be helpful to是固定搭配,意为“对……有益”,所以填helpful。
【45题详解】
句意:研究表明,失业者的健康状况比在职者更差。此处需要一个形容词比较级。前文暗示了工作对健康有益,所以失业者的健康状况会更差,且句中的than提示要用比较级,poor health表示“健康状况差”,比较级为poorer。
【46题详解】
句意:首先,这是因为工作让人忙碌,远离孤独。此处需要一个名词,作宾语。loneliness意为“孤独”,对应后文无事可做会烦闷焦虑的内容。
【47题详解】
句意:研究表明,当人们无事可做时,会感到不开心和焦虑。have nothing to do是固定搭配,意为“无事可做”,不定式作后置定语,故填to do。
【48题详解】
句意:失去工作意味着失去一切。根据下文“It affects man’s spirit and it will cause illnesses.”可知,失去工作对人的影响很大,相当于失去一切。“mean doing sth.”是固定搭配,意为“意味着做某事”,losing“失去”符合语境。
【49题详解】
句意:相反,最快乐的人是那些忙碌的人。前文讲失业带来负面影响,此处转折引出忙碌的好处,instead表“相反、取而代之”,句首首字母大写。
【50题详解】
句意:所以他们每天都充满活力。此处需要一个连词。前半句是原因,后半句是结果,so引导结果状语从句,句首首字母大写。
【51题详解】
句意:此外,工作给人一种希望和成就感。此处需要一个名词和hope并列。a sense of achievement是固定搭配,意为“成就感”,符合工作带来的积极影响。
【52题详解】
句意:当作家完成他的书,或医生成功拯救病人时,或老师看到他的学生取得很大进步时,他们是最快乐的人。此处缺少谓语动词,根据常识,作家是完成作品,主语a writer是第三人称单数,句子为一般现在时,finish“完成”变成三单finishes。
【53题详解】
句意:当作家完成他的书,或医生成功拯救病人时,或老师看到他的学生取得很大进步时,他们是最快乐的人。make progress是固定搭配,意为“取得进步”,progress为不可数名词,无复数,故填progress。
【54题详解】
句意:总之,你工作得越多,你就会越快乐、越健康。“the more...the more...”句型中,you后面接动词原形,全文主题是工作的好处,故填work。

C
As a 3-year-old in West Africa, Aliou was sitting by a fire when his quilt caught fire. One of his arms was badly burned. He needed surgery (手术), but his family couldn’t afford it. Then one day, Aliou’s grandmother heard about a ship that was traveling around Africa providing free medical care. She took Aliou to the ship, and doctors straightened his arm with surgery. The medical treatment changed Aliou’s life.
The ship that helped Aliou belongs to an organization called Mercy Ships. Mercy Ships sends ships with medical equipment (设备) around the world, mainly in Africa now. Trained doctors volunteer to travel on these ships and perform free surgeries on people who need them.
Medical conditions can cause more problems than just pain, although pain is bad enough. People with health problems are sometimes ostracized by their community, which can prevent children from attending school and adults from working.
Treating patients on a ship has several advantages over land-based hospitals. About fifty percent of the world’s population lives near the coast. Ships can bring modern health care to patients in many different places. Also ships have their own electricity and running water, so they can provide a safe environment for patients.
By treating people and training communities, Mercy Ships is making life better for people in poor areas around the world.
63. Why did Aliou need surgery?
A. Because he had a fall. B. Because his legs were badly burned.
C. Because the fire burned his arm badly. D. Because his stomach bled.
64. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. How to train doctors. B. What Mercy Ships does.
C. The history of Mercy Ships. D. The medical conditions in Africa.
65. What does the underlined word “ostracized” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?
A. 嫉妒 B. 信赖 C. 排挤 D. 同情
66. How many advantages of treating patients on a ship are mentioned in the passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
67. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. A community. B. A surgery. C. A hospital. D. An organization.
【答案】63. C 64. B 65. C 66. B 67. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了西非男孩Aliou因火灾手臂严重烧伤,在无法承担手术费用的情况下,被一艘名为“Mercy Ships”的医疗救助船免费救治的故事,介绍了该组织如何通过移动医疗船为贫困地区的人们提供免费医疗服务。
【63题详解】
根据第一段中“One of his arms was badly burned. He needed surgery...”可知,Aliou需要手术是因为他的一只手臂被严重烧伤。
【64题详解】
第二段介绍了“Mercy Ships”这个组织的运作方式:派遣配备医疗设备的船只,由志愿医生为有需要的人提供免费手术,也就是说明了该组织的职能。
【65题详解】
根据画线词后文“which can prevent children from attending school and adults from working”可知,患有疾病的人会被社区排挤、孤立,因此“ostracized”意为 “排挤”。
【66题详解】
根据第四段“About fifty percent of the world’s population lives near the coast. Ships can bring modern health care to patients in many different places. Also ships have their own electricity and running water, so they can provide a safe environment for patients.”可知,船上治疗的优势主要有两点:一是世界上约一半人口住在沿海,船能将医疗带到多地;二是船上有独立的电力和自来水,能提供安全环境。共提到两个优势。
【67题详解】
全文以Aliou的案例引入,介绍了“Mercy Ships”这个国际医疗救助组织的运作方式、优势和影响,因此主旨是介绍一个公益组织。

If the fashion (时尚) world is a big ocean, fashion magazines are the boats that carry us across it. Vogue, one of the world’s biggest fashion magazines, now has a new leader for its Chinese edition (版本)—Margaret Zhang. At 27, she is the youngest editor-in-chief (EIC主编) at Vogue. Fashion magazines like Vogue were once very influential (有影响的). The clothes, shoes and hairstyles that they covered would often become fashionable. But with the appearance of social media (媒体), print magazines are losing their voice. That might be the reason why someone as young as Zhang was chosen to be an EIC.
Zhang is a Chinese Australian, and works as a photographer (摄影师), stylist (造型师), writer, and model. But more importantly, she is good at connecting fashion to the internet. At the age of 16, she started a successful fashion blog. Years later, she set up a personal website where she showed her works, including photographs, videos, and brand designs (设计). She now has more than 1.2 million Instagram followers.
Margaret understands the rising fashion among the younger Chinese people and has rich knowledge and understanding about new digital platforms (数字平台), said Li Li from Vogue’s parent company. “We look forward to her bringing world fashion to China while taking Chinese culture to the rest of the world.”
Zhang’s international experience may help her achieve this. She studied law (法律) at the University of Sydney. She likes to dye (染) her hair different colors. She also makes dumplings with her mother and hangs knots (中国结) in her room. “This new role is an unbelievable chance to connect my background, my skills, and my interests.” She said.
It is not yet known who will appear on Zhang’s first cover. But according to Zhang, it must be someone “people can look up to” and “Who is driving innovation (创新), no matter what industry they’re in.”
68. What can we know about “Vogue” according to the passage?
A. It’s a famous person. B. It’s a fashion magazine.
C. It’s a popular song. D. It’s an exciting movie.
69. Why did Zhang set up a personal website?
A. Because she wanted to be famous.
B. Because she had a dream to be a designer.
C. Because she wanted to show her works in it
D. Because of her photographs, videos, brand designs.
70. What is the structure of the passage?
①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2 ③=paragraph 3 ④=paragraph 4 ⑤=paragraph 5
A. B. C. D.
71. Put the following information into correct order according to the passage.
a. Zhang set up a personal website about photographs, videos, and brand designs.
b. Zhang started a successful fashion blog.
c. Zhang has more than 1.2 million Instagram followers.
d. Zhang studied law in Sydney.
A. d-a-c-b B. b-a-d-c C. a-d-b-c D. a-c-d-b
72. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Zhang works as an actress.
B. Zhang knows little about fashion.
C. Zhang herself will appear on her first cover.
D. Zhang is the youngest editor-in-chief at Vogue.
【答案】68. B 69. C 70. C 71. B 72. D
【解析】

Darlene’s Success
I used to be tall for my age and I used to get a lot of attention because of my height. ___73___ Other kids could do things that I just couldn’t do, like hitting or throwing a baseball. I used to have no confidence and didn’t think I would make much progress.
In Grade 8, our school basketball team had a new coach. He quickly noticed me and asked if I wanted to join his team. ___74___ But I couldn’t believe his words at that time.
“Darlene is a person who isn’t confident,” one of my friends said. The new coach said, “I’ll help her make it.” ___75___
Every day after school, I worked with the new coach. He told me that I was so tall, so my duty was to play centre. A centre is a player who stands under the net and gets rebounds (篮板球) . ___76___
I did push-ups and sit-ups and then I spent most of my time practicing shooting. When I first started, I got zero out of ten shots I took. But I didn’t want to give up. With the help of the coach, after a few weeks of practice, I had about five out of ten shots landing in the basket. But I still wasn’t very excellent. However, I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down from the net. ___77___ The season came and went. We won the game finally. It was my coach and my teammates that helped me succeed.
It’s exciting to learn something about yourself and to realize that you are what you make of yourself.
A. But I did badly in sports.
B. I am afraid of the challenge.
C. He told me I would be the star!
D. I did a good job in the basketball game.
E. Centres are always the tallest in the team.
F. I saw encouragement and trust in the new coach’s eyes.

前文教练注意到我,邀请我加入篮球队;后文说我当时根本不敢相信教练的话。C选项“He told me I would be the star!”是教练给予我的鼓励,衔接上下文通顺。
【75题详解】
前文朋友告诉我教练愿意帮助我取得成功,后文写我每天放学后跟着教练训练。F选项“I saw encouragement and trust in the new coach’s eyes.”写出我能感受到教练对我的信任,自然过渡到日复一日的训练。
【76题详解】
前文介绍中锋的职责是站在篮下抢篮板,教练安排我打中锋。E选项“Centres are always the tallest in the team.”补充说明中锋一般是队里最高的人,刚好对应我的身高优势。
【77题详解】
前文提到我个子高,每次投篮落下我都能最先抢到篮板;后文写赛季结束我们赢得比赛。G选项“Later, I became better at putting the ball into the net because of my hard work.”说明长期苦练让我的投篮水平进步,为球队获胜埋下铺垫。

“Chinese New Year is a seven-day celebration, and the beautiful thing I like is the way we put up fu outside. We change the direction, which means that fu has already come.” Rajni Aggarwal from India, running an Indian restaurant in Hangzhou, seems to know everything about it. Actually, nowadays more and more foreigners like Chinese traditional culture. The video “Hello! Spring Festival!” by China Daily tells us what the Spring Festival is like in some foreigners’ eyes.
Barbara, a German designer who is running a children’s wear brand in Shenyang, is full of praise for Chinese food, especially yuanxiao. “We always prepare some handmade lanterns to celebrate the Lantern Festival.” She added, “This year for Chinese New Year I gave out some special hongbao, but the most important thing is money inside.”
Zhang Luka from Italy is the spreader of Chinese chili and delicious food.

As a 3-year-old in West Africa, Aliou was sitting by a fire when his quilt caught fire. One of his arms was badly burned. He needed surgery (手术), but his family couldn’t afford it. Then one day, Aliou’s grandmother heard about a ship that was traveling around Africa providing free medical care. She took Aliou to the ship, and doctors straightened his arm with surgery. The medical treatment changed Aliou’s life.
The ship that helped Aliou belongs to an organization called Mercy Ships. Mercy Ships sends ships with medical equipment (设备) around the world, mainly in Africa now. Trained doctors volunteer to travel on these ships and perform free surgeries on people who need them.
Medical conditions can cause more problems than just pain, although pain is bad enough. People with health problems are sometimes ostracized by their community, which can prevent children from attending school and adults from working.
Treating patients on a ship has several advantages over land-based hospitals. About fifty percent of the world’s population lives near the coast. Ships can bring modern health care to patients in many different places. Also ships have their own electricity and running water, so they can provide a safe environment for patients.
By treating people and training communities, Mercy Ships is making life better for people in poor areas around the world.

If the fashion (时尚) world is a big ocean, fashion magazines are the boats that carry us across it. Vogue, one of the world’s biggest fashion magazines, now has a new leader for its Chinese edition (版本)—Margaret Zhang. At 27, she is the youngest editor-in-chief (EIC主编) at Vogue. Fashion magazines like Vogue were once very influential (有影响的). The clothes, shoes and hairstyles that they covered would often become fashionable. But with the appearance of social media (媒体), print magazines are losing their voice. That might be the reason why someone as young as Zhang was chosen to be an EIC.
Zhang is a Chinese Australian, and works as a photographer (摄影师), stylist (造型师), writer, and model. But more importantly, she is good at connecting fashion to the internet. At the age of 16, she started a successful fashion blog. Years later, she set up a personal website where she showed her works, including photographs, videos, and brand designs (设计). She now has more than 1.2 million Instagram followers.
Margaret understands the rising fashion among the younger Chinese people and has rich knowledge and understanding about new digital platforms (数字平台), said Li Li from Vogue’s parent company. “We look forward to her bringing world fashion to China while taking Chinese culture to the rest of the world.”
Zhang’s international experience may help her achieve this. She studied law (法律) at the University of Sydney. She likes to dye (染) her hair different colors. She also makes dumplings with her mother and hangs knots (中国结) in her room. “This new role is an unbelievable chance to connect my background, my skills, and my interests.” She said.
It is not yet known who will appear on Zhang’s first cover. But according to Zhang, it must be someone “people can look up to” and “Who is driving innovation (创新), no matter what industry they’re in.”
68. What can we know about “Vogue” according to the passage?
A. It’s a famous person. B. It’s a fashion magazine.
C. It’s a popular song. D. It’s an exciting movie.
69. Why did Zhang set up a personal website?
A. Because she wanted to be famous.
B. Because she had a dream to be a designer.
C. Because she wanted to show her works in it
D. Because of her photographs, videos, brand designs.
70. What is the structure of the passage?
①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2 ③=paragraph 3 ④=paragraph 4 ⑤=paragraph 5
A. B. C. D.
71. Put the following information into correct order according to the passage.
a. Zhang set up a personal website about photographs, videos, and brand designs.
b. Zhang started a successful fashion blog.
c. Zhang has more than 1.2 million Instagram followers.
d. Zhang studied law in Sydney.
A. d-a-c-b B. b-a-d-c C. a-d-b-c D. a-c-d-b
72. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Zhang works as an actress.
B. Zhang knows little about fashion.
C. Zhang herself will appear on her first cover.
D. Zhang is the youngest editor-in-chief at Vogue.
