A
Milwaukee,Wisconsin,is road testing a new way to keep winter roads ice-free-by
spreading on them cheese brine,the salty liquid used to make soft cheeses,like mozzarella.
如
Wisconsin,also called"America's Dairyland,is famous for its cheese.The state
produced 2.8 billion pounds of cheese last year!As a result,there was a lot of leftover
cheese brine.Disposing of()the brine can be expensive.So what should cheese makers
金
do with the waste?
Normally,towns use rock salt to de-ice streets.The salt lowers water's freezing point,
causing ice to melt().But using cheese brine could help both cheese producers and
cities save money,while keeping roads safe.Cheese brine has salt in it,which,like the rock
salt,helps lower water's freezing point.
In addition to saving money,cheese brine could also be a more eco-friendly option.
Many people suspect that all the rock salt used every winter is harming the environment.
部
Rock salt is made of sodium chloride,the same compound()in ordinary table
salt.Sounds harmless,right?But while your probably add only a small amount of salt to
your food,road crews spread about 20 million tons of salt on U.S.roads every year!
The chemical washes off roads and goes into the ground.There it can pollute drinking
water,harm plants,and eat away soil.By spreading cheese brine on streets before adding a
layer of rock salt,Milwaukee may be able to cut its rock salt use by 30 percent.
阳
Cheese brine has a downside too-a smell similar to that of bad milk."I don't really
mind it,"Emil Norby told Modern Farmer mamazine.He works for one of Wisconsin's
翻
county highway commissions and came up with the idea of using cheese brine."Our roads
smell like Wisconsin!"he said.
1.Why can cheese brine help keep winter roads ice-free?
A.It is soft.
B.It contains salt.C.It is warm.
D.It has milk in it.

童
A.Improving air quality.
B.Increasing sales of rock salt.
C.Reducing water pollution.
D.Saving the cheese industry.
5-1
3.Milwaukee's new way to de-ice streets may be an example of

B.putting the cart before the horse

B
My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-
Johnson syndrome,a disorder where my immune system(免疫系统)responded to a virus
by producing painful blisters().Although my long-term evaluation was good,I,who
had been so fiercely independent,rapidly became absolutely helpless.
My husband,Scott,stepped up to the plate,taking care of kids and cooking dinners.
He also became my personal caretaker,applying the medicine to all of my blisters because
my hands couldn't do the job.Needless to say,I had negative emotions,bouncing from
embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.
At one point when I had mentally and physically hit bottoms I remember thinking that
Scott must somehow love me more than I could ever love him.With my illness,he had
become the stronger one,and I the weaker one.And this disturbed me.
I recovered from my illness,but I couldn't seem to recover from the thought that I loved my
husband less than he loved me.This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the
year following my illness.
Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride.He's an experienced cyclist;I'm
quite the green hand.At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my
tired legs,I really thought I couldn't go any further.Seeing me struggle,Scott pulled in
front of me and yelled over his shoulder,"Stay close behind me."As I fell into the draft of
his six-foot-three-inch frame and followed his steps,I discovered that my legs quit burning
and I was able to catch my breath.My husband was pulling me along again.At this very
moment I woke up to what I now believe:during these and other tough times,love has the
opportunity to become stronger when one partner learns to lean on the other.
I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy.But if he should ever become the
struggling one,whether on a bike ride or with an illness,I trust I'll be ready to call out to
him:Stay close behind me-my turn to pull you along.

A.Followed her closely.
B.Gave in to her depression.

C
Are some people born clever,and others born stupid?Or is intelligence developed by
our environment and our experiences?Strangely enough,the answer to both these
questions is yes.To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth,and no amount of
special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence.On the other
hand,a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one
who lives in rich and varied surroundings.Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are
fixed at birth,but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.
This view,now held by most experts,can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with.The
closer the blood relationship between two people,the closer they are likely to be in
intelligence.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (from the
population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different.If on
the other hand we take two identical(完全相同的)twins they will very likely be as
intelligent as each other.Relations like brothers and sisters,parents and children,usually
have similar intelligence,and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments.
We might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the work
is boring.We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this indicates that
environment as well as birth plays a part.This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that
people who live in close contact with each other,but who are not related at all,are likely to
have similar degrees of intelligence.
8.Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Paragraph 1?
A.To some extent,intelligence is given at birth.
B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D.Intelligence is fixed at birth,but is developed by the environment.
5-3
9.It is suggested in this passage that
A.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
B.close relations usually have similar intelligence
C.the closer the blood relationship between people,the more different they are likely to
be in intelligence
D.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees
of intelligence
10.In Paragraph 1,the underlined word surroundings means
A.intelligence
B.life
C.environments
D.housing
11.The best title for this article would be
A.Intelligence
B.What Intelligence Means
C.We Are Born with Intelligence
D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
D
"Siri,what's the weather like in San Francisco?"
“Today's forecast for San Antonio is..”
“No.San FRAN-CIS-CO!!”
"The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore,Maryland."
Sometimes,talking to an artificially intelligent robot is,well,not so intelligent.
Yohav Shoham,the Stanford computer science professor,said,"AI has made truly
amazing progress in the past decade,but computers still can't exhibit the common sense or
the general intelligence of even a 5-year-old."Yann LeCun,a French scientist,put it more
simply."We're very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about
the world in the way humans and animals can do.In particular areas machines have
superhuman performance,but in terms of general intelligence they're not even close to a
rat,”he explained.
Oren Etzioni,an Israeli scientist,said,"There's a brand of science fiction()
that's very dystopian(反面乌托邦的).These works of fiction talk about how the world is
going to get much worse.I'm too much of an optimist to get a lot of pleasure out
of reading such stories."
However,robots are becoming smarter.Indeed,our homes are becoming more
intelligent when we place devices (like the Amazon Echo and Google Home on our
kitchen counter.But,at least for the moment anyway,we shouldn't feel intimidated by this
artificial intelligence.
There are robots that move like animals and robots that offer guidance.There's even a
robot that can paint a picture of Einstein and a robot that can fold your laundry.Robots are
5-4
not taking over the world yet.So for now,we can simply sit back and relax.And have a
robot waiter pour us a drink
12.What does the dialogue at the beginning of the text tell us?
A.Robots aren't as smart as we expect.
B.It isn't easy to forecast the weather correctly.
C.A speaker may be misunderstood by another.
D.Weather is a good subject to start a conversation.
13.What do the scientists think about the artificially intelligent robots now?
A.They have superhuman performance in kitchen tasks.
B.They have the common sense of a 5-year-old.
C.They can only learn the basic things of humans.
D.They are still poor at general intelligence.
14.How did Oren find the dystopian science fiction?
A.Pleasant.
B.Typical.
C.Realistic.
D.Controversial.
15.What does the underlined word "intimidated"mean?
A.Comforted.
B.Astonished.
C.Threatened.
D.Disappointed.

根据短文内容,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。
A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into
a new apartment or house.The person who bought the house or moved is the one who
throws the party.The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on
the new home.16 And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully
presents.
17
Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a
local store or stores.Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen
tools like knives and things like curtains.Even if there isn't a registry,a good
housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with,like a piece of art or a
plant.
18 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food
served.There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party.The
host or hostess of the party will,however,probably give all the guests a tour of their new
home.Sometimes,because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into
their new home,people may be asked to help unpack boxes.19
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would
actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift.20 Now most homes have central
heating and don't use fires to keep warm.
5-5
A.This isn't usual though
B.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.
C.You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.
D.If you're lucky enough to receive gifts,keep them in a safe place.
E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.
F.The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.
G.This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.

My father asked me to chat with him for a while.Actually,I was unwilling to listen to
his endless talking as he always did.My father was a lawyer,but I never wanted to go to
law school or follow his path through life.
As was expected,he cleared his throat and started to say,"Er...What...What do
you really want to do in the future?"
I was silent for a moment playing with the cellphone.I kept thinking,"Should I tell
him my true thoughts?What if he gets angry?What if I let him down?"Later I replied,
“Well,I want to be a writer.”
I guessed this may be not the answer he would expect.But surprisingly,"Interesting
idea!"he answered.I was shocked,speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
“Are you serious,Dad?”
"Well,you need confidence and good preparations,and you still have plenty of time.
You need to find out what you really enjoy now.Look,it's late.Let's take the boat out
tomorrow morning,just you and me.Maybe we can catch some crabs (for dinner,
and we can talk more.”
Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off along the coast.We didn't
talk much,but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time."Let's see if we get
lucky,"he said,picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea.We
waited for a while,then my father stood up and said,"Give me a hand with this,"and we
pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.
To our joy,the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs.Squatting (down,
we watched them for a moment.At first they fought hard against each other to climb out,
trying to escape.Many were pulled back into the cage.Later,some gave up,but there were
still some crabs trying to escape again and again.
Paragraph 1:
At that moment,my father pointed to the cage,"Look at that crab,there!"
Paragraph 2:
From that day on,I was determined to make my dream come true.
5-8Paragraph 2:
It amazes me how we have changed from hunting
to survive to hunting for sport.I just don't think there
is any reason to kill a living thing for fun.This just leads
people to hunt animals.And even the small little goat is
endangered because people start to think that there's
nothing wrong with killing a life as long as it's not a
human.If there's one thing I beg you to do,it's to be
open-minded towards animals not just to humans and
don't kill for sport.

关系,所以用现在分词。
37.who/that考查定语从句。句意:以优异成绩完成
全国高等教育入学考试的高中生,无须先完成预科
课程,就可以申请直接进入伯明翰的学位课程。此
处High school students是先行词,指人,在后面的定
语从句中作主语。
38.without考查介词。句意同上。介词without后面
跟动名词作宾语,结合句意可知,答案为without。
39.is held考查时态和语态及主谓一致。句意:6月初
在中国各地举行的高考,越来越多地被澳大利亚、美
国、加拿大和欧洲大陆的大学所接受。此处指目前
的一种客观事实,且定语从句的主语which(Gaokao)
和hold之间是动宾关系,所以句子用一般现在时的
被动语态。
40.increasingly考查词性转换。句意同上。此处
accepted是动词,由副词来修饰。
4l.requirements考查名词单复数。句意:伯明翰只会
考虑那些在高考中取得至少80%的高分,并满足额
外的学术和英语要求的高质量学生。结合句意可
知,此处用名词复数。
42.delighted考查词性转换。句意:我很高兴这所大
学现在接受高考。be delighted意为“感到高兴”。
43.brightest考查形容词最高级。句意:这给了最聪
明、最优秀的中国学生…根据the和best可知,此
处用形容词最高级。
44.an考查不定冠词。句意:有机会直接进入我们的
本科课程的第一年,体验在全球百强大学学习的好
处。此处表示泛指,且opportunity发音以元音音素
开头。
45.global考查词性转换。句意同上。此处是形容词
修饰名词。

参考范文:
Dear Tom,
How are you?Glad to tell you something about
mobile payment in China.Mobile payment is most
popular in China.It has made people's daily life more
and more convenient.Most of us are used to paying by
scanning QR codes.
By mobile payment,we can pay easily wherever we
go.We can buy breakfast on the street and pay by
scanning with our smart phone.In the subway station,
we can scan with our smart phone to purchase our
ticket.This is a glimpse of most Chinese's life-
allowing us to bid farewell to the wallets and bank
cards.
Mobile payment has greatly changed people's lives
in China.It seems that China is really leading in some
ways and it is also sweeping other nations.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
At that moment,my father pointed to the cage,
"Look at that crab,there!"Staring at the crab,I found
that every time he wanted to escape,he was pulled back
into the cage.However,he didn't give up his fight.
Fortunately,he survived from the struggle eventually.
Shocked and amazed,I suddenly understood why my
father had suggested catching crabs that morning.I
thought the future would be filled with many
possibilities.Everyone would need to find out what he
enjoyed and held on to it.
Paragraph 2:
From that day on,I was determined to make my
dream come true.Besides my devotion to schoolwork,I
spent all my spare time making full preparations for
becoming a writer.Reading,collecting materials and
writing made my life busy but fulfilled,which laid a
good foundation for me.Meanwhile,I contributed to
literary journals.Gradually,some achievements as a
writer increased my confidence.I always think of the
crab whenever faced with difficulties.What my father
said also encouraged me on my way to success.Now I
am grateful for sticking to the thing I truly dreamed of.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。美国华盛顿州的
Bellevue采用了能随交通状况而调节交通灯时间的适应
性信号灯,大大缓解了交通压力,也表明人们对于交通
阻塞问题不再只是拓宽道路,而是能够采用新方法。
1.C指代猜测题。That位于第二段句首,应是指代第
一段的内容。根据第一段内容尤其是第一段最后一
"Just like the traffic itself,the timing of the signals
changes..(就像交通本身一样,信号灯的时间也会变
化)”可知,第一段主要讲述的是信号灯的时间会灵活
变化;“That is by design.”意为“那是有意为之”,由此
可推知,That指代第一段中“信号灯的灵活时间”。故
选C项。
2.D推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中“adaptive
signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways(
适应信号并不是解决拥堵道路的万能药)”及第二句
"others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction
in the number of cars on the road will make a
meaningful difference.(其他城市交通堵塞如此严重,
只有减少道路上的车辆才能起有意义的作用)”可推
知,Kevin Balke认为适应性信号灯对于交通堵塞很严
重的城市没有太大帮助。故选D项。
3.A推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“These
lights,known as adaptive signals,have led to
significant declines in both the trouble and cost of
travels between work and home.(这些灯,被称为适应
性信号灯,已经大大减少了通勤的麻烦和花费)”及最
后-段第-句“In Bellevue,the switch to adaptive
signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming
new approaches..(在Bellevue,对适应性信号灯的转变
是一个在欢迎新方法的价值方面的榜样)”可推知,从
Bellevue的成功中可以得出,尝试新事物是值得的。故选
A项。

Sapkal在过去的40年间不断地演讲、募集捐款,建造了4座
孤儿院,现在她的女儿也和她一起工作。
4.D细节理解题。文中第二段第一句“Sindhutai
Sapkal's work was inspired by her own hardships
when growing up.”可知,Sindhutai Sapkal的工作受
自己成长过程中的苦难启迪而来。故选D。
5.A推理判断题。文中最后一段提到“‘I was raised
believing that blood relations don't really mean
much...'Mamata,says,After completing my
degrees,I have been working with Mai(mother).'
知,Sindhutai的女儿完成学位后,和妈妈一起工作。
由此可知,Sindhutai Sapkal的工作深深影响到她的女
儿。故选A。
6.B主旨大意题。根据第四段第-一句提到“Over the
last 40 years,Sindhutai Sapkal has traveled to
countless villages,giving speeches until her throat was
dry,trying to collect donations to provide a better life
for her adopted children..”可知,Sindhutai Sapkal不断地
通过发表演讲、募集款项建造孤儿院,让孩子们体会到真
正的家庭的爱。由此可知,文章主要讲述了Sindhutai
Sapkal对孤儿做出的贡献。故选B。
7.C推理判断题。文中第一段第一句提到“The story
of Sindhutai Sapkal is the story of rebirth and the love
of children who nobody else wanted.”可知,Sindhutai
Sapkal的故事是关于重生和对孤儿的爱的故事。由

的人。cruel意为“残忍的”;serious意为“严重的”;
caring意为“乐于助人的”;strict意为“严格的”。故
