Dear John,
I'm very glad that you'll come to our city.I will act
as your guide during your stay here.
There are many places of interest in and around
Beijing City,such as the Great Wall,one of the Seven
Wonders in the world and the Forbidden City,which has
a history of over six hundred years.There we can enjoy
delicious food,traditional cultures and customs.
As for the environmental problems,the government
has taken strong measures to protect the environment.For
example,restricting the number of private cars and
encouraging public buses and subway not only prevent the
traffic jam but also greatly benefit the environment.I really
wish you a pleasant stay here.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying
to com fort Bosco.I thought we lost him a couple of
times when he was seemingly out of breath and his eyes
seemed to close.By the time we arrived,Bosco was
wheeled into the animal care center to receive emergency
care.Bosco was put on oxygen and was taken good care
of by staff there and we waited anxiously for the dog to
get out of danger.Rinaldi said another dog in Detroit
Dog Rescue had already been named Bosco,and she
wanted this new member to have a new name for his
new life.
Paragraph 2:
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe,whose critical
care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand
dollars.It would be difficult for Roscoe's new home to
cover the costs as a non-profit organization.Thankfully,
many people who knew Roscoe's story on Detroit Dog
Rescue's Facebook page donated money to his care.
With the help of supporters,Detroit Dog Rescue
managed to make it.Once Roscoe was in a stable state,
Sandra and I returned to our original mission,knowing
we had already been given the chance to help one
desperate soul.

信息。
1.A细节理解题。根据本题设问谁写的书能教你做饭
可知,是Martha Stewart。故选A。
2.C细节理解题。Mighty Jack这本书讲述了小男孩Jack
的奇妙生活经历,如果读者想看这本书,需要支付$14.
15。故选C。
3.D细节理解题。根据Zeroes by Scott Westerfeld,
Margo Lanagan,Deborah Biancotti可知,Zeroes是由
三位作家一起完成的,故选D。
B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了最年长的女
字航员纪录保持者Peggy Whitson在太空的体验以及她
积极向上的心态。
4.B词义猜测题。根据第三段中Whitson的话可知,
她认为人们不应该被年龄所击败,以57岁“高龄”进
行太空飞行是一件很正常的事情,因此她对自己创下
纪录并不感到惊讶。由此可知画线词义为“平常的”。
故选B。
5.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“breaking the
record last November when she began her third long-
term stay at the International Space Station.After
returning home in September,2017”可知,从20l6年
11月到2017年9月,Peggy Whitson在国际空间站待
了300天左右的时间。故选A。
6.D细节理解题。根据第二、三段内容可知,2017年
Peggy Whitson57岁,她在42岁和48岁时也进行过
太空飞行,由此可知这两次飞行分别发生在2002年
和2008年。故选D。
7.A推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Idon't think
people should let age discourage them,even on those
jobs that require some amount of physical fitness."
知,Peggy Whitson认为人们不应被年龄所击败,即使
是从事那些对身体健康状况有一定要求的工作。由
此可知她会说当你老了的时候,你也可以做一些需要
体力的事情。故选A。
C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普类说明文,主要介绍了章
鱼机器人的优点和投入应用的可能性。
8.A细节理解题。从第一段中的“Traditionally,robots
have been hard,nade of metal”以及“has managed to
build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration
from an octopus'”可知,机器人Octobot最特殊的特点是
柔软。故选A项。
9.D细节理解题。分析第二段倒数第一、二句可知,传
统机器人的缺,点是:在糟糕的地形或者不可预知的情
况下,表现不是那么好;对人类不是特别安全。因此,
D项(它们不能一直表现得很好)符合题意。故选
D项。
10.D细节理解题。从倒数第二段中的“it's still a
grand challenge to construct flexible versions of
essential parts,such as a source of power'”可知,最大
的挑战之一是制造机器人○ctobot的柔性电源。故选
D项。
11.B推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句
"Although soft robotics is still in its early stage,it
holds great promise for several applications,such as
search-rescue operations and exploration”可推知,机
器人Octobot还没有应用到搜救领域。故选B项。
D
I2.B词义猜测题。画线部分前一句提到“And those
benefits include a longer life..”每周锻炼几次的益处
包括长寿,所以该句指的是每周锻炼是可以降低死
亡风险的。A.Ioss失去;B.Death死亡;C.Sadness
难过;D.Failure失败。故B选项正确。
l3.D细节理解题。由文中第二段的“The World
Health Organization recommends that adults

(中等强度的)physical exercise,or an hour and25
minutes of more energetic exercise per week.”以及
倒数第二段的“Weekend warrior'exercise sessions
are usually 75-minute energetic workouts,according
to the study..”可知,这些weekend warriors要比那
些每周锻炼几次的人更精力充沛,强度更大,才能获
得益处,才能够有效。故D选项正确。
14.B推理判断题。根据文中倒数第三段的“The lower
risks of cardiovascular disease and overall death were
similar to the risks of people who worked out regularly
over the week.”可知,每周进行一次高强度的锻炼与一
周进行几次规律的锻炼的效果是相似的。故B选项
正确。
15.A推理判断题。根据文中最后一段的“So,if you
are just too busy on weekdays,let go of the guilt(
)Just make sure to hit the gym hard at
weekends.”可知,并不是只有周末锻炼就没有用,事
实上,周末锻炼对健康也能起到很大的作用。故A
选项正确。
第二节
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍的是西班
牙的斗牛节。节日期间虽然也时常出现斗牛士和观众

midday,when the Mayor of Pamplona shoots a
roeket..”可知,市长发射火箭炮,这是节日开始的
信号。
l7.C根据下文的“It starts every day at eight in the
morning”可知,此处应该提到一个活动。C项符合
语境。
18.F根据上文可知,牛和参与者一起在街上奔跑,可
能会出现参与者的伤亡事件,F项正是上文的结果。
l9.D根据下文的“That makes the bull very wild and
it starts to run all over the stadium.”可知,所填的句
子应该是下文的原因,D项符合语境。
2o.G上-段提到“All of the six bulls are going to be
killed at the bullfight'”,空格前面提到杀死了一头牛,
G项“相同的事情也发生在其他五头牛的身上”可以
承接上文。

Peggy Whitson's job demands a daily two-hour workout in a gym where weight has no
meaning and the view changes at 17,000 miles an hour.
Whitson makes it look easy.At 57,she is the oldest woman to fly in space,breaking
the record last November when she began her third long-term stay at the International
Space Station.After returning home in September,2017,the NASA astronaut felt matter-
of-fact about the age milestone(里程碑).
"It wasn't a record I was seeking for,"Whitson said."I was 42 and 48 for my first two
space flights.I feel lucky that I was able to get to do another one in my 50s.I don't think
people should let age discourage them,even on those jobs that require some amount of
physical fitness.The oldest man is John Glenn (at 77),and we've had male astronauts in
their 60s before,so it's just a matter of time before women start flying in space at
this age..”
On the earth,she stays fit by weightlifting,biking,playing basketball and water
skiing.She shared what it's like to live in microgravity:"It's like you're in a swimming
pool,but you don't have to worry about breathing.If I push off from one side,I'm going to
float to the other side.Every direction feels exactly the same,which is really hard for your
brain to grasp,but it's amazing how fast you adapt.
It's a big shock for the body to come back to Earth-everything is so heavy.We spend
a lot of time getting used to being back in gravity again.Back pain was really the most
dramatic for me this time.For me,coming home is harder than going up into space."
4.What does the underlined word "matter-of-fact"probably mean in the passage?
A.Amazing.
B.Natural.
C.Enthusiastic.
D.Unbelievable.
5.How many days did Peggy Whitson spend for her third stay in the International Space
Station?
A.About 300 days.B.About 708 days.C.About 107 days.D.About 57 days.
6.According to the passage,which of the following is true?
A.Peggy Whitson is the oldest person to fly in space,breaking the record.
B.There had been female astronauts flying in space in their 60s before.
10-2
C.Peggy Whitson likes swimming most to stay fit on the earth.
D.Peggy Whitson had been in space in 2002 and 2008.
7.Which of the following will Peggy Whitson probably say?
A.You can still be successful and do physical things when you get old.
B.I spent quite a lot of time getting used to the life in space.
C.The moment we reached the earth,we felt so relaxed.
D.I feel lucky that I am physically all right after the whole journey.

Traditionally,robots have been hard,made of metal and other rigid material.But a
team of scientists at Harvard University in the U.S.has managed to build an entirely soft
robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus().
Described in science journal Nature,the"Octobot"could pave the way for more
effective autonomous robots that could be used in search,rescue and exploration."The
Octobot is a minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of
completely soft,autonomous robots,"the study's authors wrote.Robots built for precise,
repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrains (
or in unpredictable conditions.And they aren't especially safe around humans,because
they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades.They've taken
inspiration from nature,looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches,which are often
made up of more flexible matter.
But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge.Even if engineers build a
silicone (body,it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential
parts,such as a source of power.
"Although soft robotics is still in its early stage,it holds great promise for several
applications,such as search-rescue operations and exploration,Barbara Mazzolai and
Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology's Center for Micro-BioRobotics,
wrote in a comment."Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness
and the quality of life."
8.What's the special feature of Octobot?
A.It's soft.
B.It's made of metal.
C.It's very small.
D.It looks like an octopus.
9.What's the disadvantage of traditional robots?
A.They're hard to control.
B.They're too heavy to move.
C.They can't predict conditions.
D.They can't behave well all the time.
10-3
10.Which is one of the biggest challenges to build Octobot?
A.Silicone body.
B.Complex components.
C.Precise movements.
D.Flexible power source.
11.What can we infer about the application of Octobot?
A.It has been used in various fields.
B.It has not been in the field of rescue.
C.It has been used in the field of rescue.
D.It has not been improved yet.

Weekend gym rats might be onto something.Weekend warriors,who put
recommended amounts of exercise into one or two gym sessions(),experience similar
health benefits to those who work out several times a week,according to a new study.And
those benefits include a longer life."It is encouraging news that working out in just one or
two days per week is connected to a lower risk of demise,even among people who do some
activities but don't quite meet recommended exercise levels,"the lead researcher
Emmanuel Stamatakis says in a statement.
The World Health Organization recommends that adults perform two and a half hours
of moderate--intensity(中等强度的)physical exercise,or an hour and25 minutes of more
energetic exercise per week.Usually this is done within several days,with experts
suggesting that adults get up to 30 minutes of regular exercise each day.However,the
new study suggests that busy people may be able to meet the standards when they have
more free time,such as at weekends,and stay healthy all the same.
Researchers studied data from more than 63,000 men and women in England and
Scotland,including data about their activity habits and risks for death.The researchers put
each individual in one of four groups:those who described themselves as inactive,those
who exercised but less than what was recommended,those who exercised in the "weekend
warrior"style,and those who worked out regularly more than three days a week.
Adults who exercised in the "weekend warrior"style had a 40 percent lower risk of
cardiovascular(心血管的)disease and a30 percent lower risk of death by any cause than
those who did not exercise at all.The lower risks of cardiovascular disease and overall
death were similar to the risks of people who worked out regularly over the week.
But take a pause before you give up your weekday gym habit.Just a couple of light
sessions won't be enough to get benefits."Weekend warrior"exercise sessions are usually
75-minute energetic workouts,according to the study.
The results are promising overall,if you just simply can't fit physical activities into
most days..The key here is that exercise is truly a lifeline(救生索):It reduces your risk of
illnesses like heart disease,diabetes,cancer and depression,according to the WHO.So,if
you are just too busy on weekdays,let go of the guilt().Just make sure to hit the
gym hard at weekends.
10-4
12.What does the underlined word "demise"in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Loss.
B.Death.
C.Sadness.
D.Failure.
13.What should "weeekend warriors"do to get benefits?
A.Focus on moderate-intensity physical exercise.
B.Exercise to meet different physical activity standards.
C.Exercise for at least 75 minutes either on Saturday or Sunday.
D.Perform more energetically than those who work out regularly.
14.What can we learn from the study?
A.We should let go of our guilt.
B.Short but hard workouts help as well.
C.It's harmful to live a too busy life.D.We'd better do our best to stay healthy.
15.After reading the passage,we can say that people should
A.stop feeling bad about only exercising at weekends
B.take part in more energetic workouts than before
C.work out on both weekdays and weekends
D.give up their habit of exercise on weekdays

Last Sunday afternoon,Sandra and I were eager to meet up with a man on Detroit's
east side to help him get ready for a job interview this week.But on the way,we spotted a
dog lying near the road next to his owner.We thought he'd been hit by a car.My friend,
Sandra Abrahamian,and I had assisted animal rescue groups before and we thought there
might be something we could do,so we quickly pulled over to help.
10-7
His owner,a woman told us the dog's name is Bosco,and she was walking him over a
mile in the heat to her new home.She said Bosco was an outside dog and no one would give
him a ride to her new place.That's when she and a friend decided to walk the entire way.
He was going from a life on a chain in one backyard to another.She said Bosco was having
trouble breathing along the way,but they thought he could make it.But just a block away
from their destination,Bosco fell down.We could tell he was suffering from heatstroke
()She told us he had thrown up and could no longer stand.Bosco was out of breath
quickly;his drool()was also thick.Bosco's owner said she wanted to give him away
because she didn't have time for him.She said he would never be allowed into her new
“home”because her children have allergies(过敏i)and she worried he would dirty the
carpet.
I made a call to Kristina Rinaldi of Detroit Dog Rescue to ask if they could help Bosco
because it was clear that he was going to die without emergency care.To our happiness,
Rinaldi said they could help.At once she told the people at Oakland Veterinary Referral
Services that a dog which needed critical care was being rushed in and they must be ready
to try their best to save him.
Paragraph 1:
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying to comfort Bosco.
Paragraph 2:
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe,whose critical care and recovery were estimated
to be several thousand dollars.
