B A 100-year-old shoe store in Iowa, America, is proving that there is a way to run a business in a small town even if you don’t use the Internet. Weaver’s Leather Store has been open since 1925 and is still going strong. Their secret is just doing a good job for their customers. They always take time to listen to each customer’s needs and make sure they leave with the perfect fit. “We have shoes in every state,” Tim Weaver said. He is the third generation of Weavers who have made the shoe store their life’s dream. “We never had a website — just word of mouth and people coming in,” said Tim. The way the store runs has changed little from how Tim’s father, LeRoy Weaver, ran it since he took over the business from his own father. The machines the family uses are from many years ago. One of them was probably built in the 1930s. Another thing that has given them an advantage is the stacked storage (堆叠式存储) of shoes. They probably have about 13,000 pairs of shoes. A salesman once told Tim, “You can never sell an empty shelf.” Therefore, they always make sure to keep the shelves full. The future of the store looks bright as the next generation prepares to step in. Colin Weaver, 26, and his brother Tanner, 29, plan to someday take over the store. Colin shared his journey, saying that while he was considering his choices during college, he finally realized, “Nothing else could bring me the same joy and purpose that the store does.” The family knows just how lucky they have been. In an age where technology and the Internet can make or break a company, this small shop has left a big footprint (足迹) with not so much as an online ad. “Not too many people can say that. It’s an honor,” Tim said. “That’s what we’re here for — to keep the business going through generations.” 24. What is the key to Weaver’s Leather Store’s success? A. Good online marketing. B. A well-known salesman. C. Excellent customer service. D. A high-tech production line. 25. What is special about the store? A. It depends on different machines. B. It often changes its website design. C. It offers skill development programs. D. It sticks to a time-tested business model. 26. What does Colin’s realization during college mainly show? A. His pressure from family expectations. B. His love for the family business. C. His enjoyment of college life. D. His respect for shoemakers. 27. What would be the best title of this passage? A. Tradition Can Survive in the Digital Age B. Technology Matters to Business Success C. Family Members Should Deepen Communication D. The Younger Generation Prefers Challenging Jobs C France is famous the world over for its wonderful food. If you were lucky enough to enjoy a French meal, you would most likely be offered some bread to eat with it. The most popular bread they bake is called a baguette. Ten million baguettes are sold every year in France. Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes. Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wasted food — especially baguettes. He began to talk with some engineers to see if they could come up with a solution. In 2016, a solution was found. They called the machine the “Crumbier”. When a good baguette is just made, it is crispy on the outside and as soft as a cloud on the inside. Once it has cooled down the bread soon becomes hard. Before the Crumbier, this old bread would be thrown away. Today, if that bread is placed into the Crumbier, it is very quickly turned into very fine breadcrumbs (面包屑). These can be mixed with fresh flour (面粉), salt and water and baked again like normal bread. Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast. Once the breadcrumbs have been produced, they can last up to six months if they have been packed properly. Because less water is used in Crumbier bread, it will last a little longer. The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food. 28. What do most of French bakers do at the end of their day? A. Prepare the materials for the next day. B. Give the remaining bread out for free. C. Throw the remaining bread away. D. Sell the bread at a very low price. 29. What did Franck Wallet care about most? A. The waste of bread. B. The new taste of bread. C. The freshness of bread. D. The popularity of bread. 30. What is special about the bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs? A. It has a much darker colour. B. It keeps for a shorter time. C. It takes less time to bake. D. It tastes like toast. 31. Which word best describes bakers’ attitude to Crumbier in France? A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. D The jack fruit is a delicious fruit found throughout certain parts of Asia. But there is more to the fruit than just its taste. When considering the fruit’s English name, it is easy to become overwhelmed with questions like: “Who is Jack? And why does he have his own fruit?” Surprisingly, “jack fruit” isn’t a person’s name at all. The fruit’s name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham, with India thought to be the fruit’s place of origin. Portuguese explorers who journeyed to this region went on to call it jack, which leads us to the current English name of jack fruit, according to National Public Radio(NPR). Unfortunately, no one called Jack has been proven to be involved at any point in this process. There is another food, however, that was directly named after a person—the sandwich. In the 18th century, playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society. John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork. This newly-created snack kept hands clean so card players could continue on without dirtying their cards. The midnight snack quickly became popular among everyday people, and before long everyone was making their own sandwiches. That is how the sandwich was invented and got its name. Away from the world of food, there are more examples of names inspired by people. Long johns, the warm trousers that keep us warm in winter, are said to have been named after the US boxer John L. Sullivan who took to wearing a similar type of garment in the ring (比赛). There are many other interesting etymologies(词源) in the English language like these. So the next time you find an interesting name, why not explore its history too? 32. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Puzzled. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Annoyed. 33. Where does the jack fruit’s name come from? A. A place in India. B. An Indian word. C. A Portuguese explorer. D. A discoverer of the fruit. 34. What do we know about the sandwich according to the text? A. It was named after a popular card game. B. It was once eaten as a snack in the daytime. C. It was first popular among the UK’s middle class. D. It was created for the convenience of playing cards. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To raise readers’ interest in etymology. B. To introduce things named after people. C. To stress the importance of learning history. D. To explain the effects of people’s names on food. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。 I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost. ___36___.

Weaver’s Leather Store has been open since 1925 and is still going strong. Their secret is just doing a good job for their customers. They always take time to listen to each customer’s needs and make sure they leave with the perfect fit. “We have shoes in every state,” Tim Weaver said. He is the third generation of Weavers who have made the shoe store their life’s dream. “We never had a website — just word of mouth and people coming in,” said Tim. The way the store runs has changed little from how Tim’s father, LeRoy Weaver, ran it since he took over the business from his own father. The machines the family uses are from many years ago. One of them was probably built in the 1930s. Another thing that has given them an advantage is the stacked storage (堆叠式存储) of shoes. They probably have about 13,000 pairs of shoes. A salesman once told Tim, “You can never sell an empty shelf.” Therefore, they always make sure to keep the shelves full. The future of the store looks bright as the next generation prepares to step in. Colin Weaver, 26, and his brother Tanner, 29, plan to someday take over the store. Colin shared his journey, saying that while he was considering his choices during college, he finally realized, “Nothing else could bring me the same joy and purpose that the store does.” The family knows just how lucky they have been. In an age where technology and the Internet can make or break a company, this small shop has left a big footprint (足迹) with not so much as an online ad. “Not too many people can say that. It’s an honor,” Tim said. “That’s what we’re here for — to keep the business going through generations.” 24. What is the key to Weaver’s Leather Store’s success? A. Good online marketing. B. A well-known salesman. C. Excellent customer service. D. A high-tech production line. 25. What is special about the store? A. It depends on different machines. B. It often changes its website design. C. It offers skill development programs. D. It sticks to a time-tested business model. 26. What does Colin’s realization during college mainly show? A. His pressure from family expectations. B. His love for the family business. C. His enjoyment of college life. D. His respect for shoemakers. 27. What would be the best title of this passage? A. Tradition Can Survive in the Digital Age B. Technology Matters to Business Success C. Family Members Should Deepen Communication D. The Younger Generation Prefers Challenging Jobs 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国爱荷华州一家拥有百年历史的Weaver’s Leather Store(韦弗皮革鞋店)，在数字时代不依赖互联网，凭借优质客户服务、传承多年的经营模式和家族三代人的坚守，依然保持良好经营状态的故事，展现了传统商业模式在数字时代的生命力。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Their secret is just doing a good job for their customers. They always take time to listen to each customer’s needs and make sure they leave with the perfect fit. (他们的秘诀就是为顾客做好服务。他们总是花时间倾听每个顾客的需求，确保他们离开时能找到最合适的鞋子)”可知，Weaver’s Leather Store成功的关键是出色的客户服务。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Tim所说的“We never had a website — just word of mouth and people coming in (我们从来没有网站 —— 只是靠口碑和顾客上门)”以及“The way the store runs has changed little from how Tim’s father, LeRoy Weaver, ran it since he took over the business from his own father. (这家商店的经营方式与Tim的父亲LeRoy Weaver接手其父亲的生意后的经营方式相比，几乎没有什么变化)”可知，这家店的特别之处在于其经营方式与父辈、祖辈时期相比几乎没有变化，即坚守经过时间检验的经营模式。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Colin shared his journey, saying that while he was considering his choices during college, he finally realized, “Nothing else could bring me the same joy and purpose that the store does.” (Colin分享了他的经历，他说，当他在大学期间考虑自己的选择时，他最终意识到，“没有什么能像这家店一样给我带来同样的快乐和目标。”)”可知，Colin在大学期间意识到，没有其他事情能像家族鞋店一样给他带来快乐和目标，这主要体现了他对家族生意的热爱。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“A 100-year-old shoe store in Iowa, America, is proving that there is a way to run a business in a small town even if you don’t use the Internet. (美国爱荷华州一家拥有100年历史的鞋店证明，即使不使用互联网，也能在小城镇成功经营企业)”可知，文章主要讲述了美国爱荷华州一家拥有100年历史的鞋店——Weaver’s Leather Store，它证明了即使不使用互联网，也能在小城镇成功经营企业。因此，“Tradition Can Survive in the Digital Age(传统能够在数字时代存续)”最符合文章主旨，适宜作为文章标题。故选A项。 C France is famous the world over for its wonderful food. If you were lucky enough to enjoy a French meal, you would most likely be offered some bread to eat with it. The most popular bread they bake is called a baguette. Ten million baguettes are sold every year in France. Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes. Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wasted food — especially baguettes. He began to talk with some engineers to see if they could come up with a solution. In 2016, a solution was found. They called the machine the “Crumbier”. When a good baguette is just made, it is crispy on the outside and as soft as a cloud on the inside. Once it has cooled down the bread soon becomes hard. Before the Crumbier, this old bread would be thrown away. Today, if that bread is placed into the Crumbier, it is very quickly turned into very fine breadcrumbs (面包屑). These can be mixed with fresh flour (面粉), salt and water and baked again like normal bread. Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast. Once the breadcrumbs have been produced, they can last up to six months if they have been packed properly. Because less water is used in Crumbier bread, it will last a little longer. The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food. 28. What do most of French bakers do at the end of their day? A. Prepare the materials for the next day. B. Give the remaining bread out for free. C. Throw the remaining bread away. D. Sell the bread at a very low price. 29. What did Franck Wallet care about most? A. The waste of bread. B. The new taste of bread. C. The freshness of bread. D. The popularity of bread. 30. What is special about the bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs? A. It has a much darker colour. B. It keeps for a shorter time. C. It takes less time to bake. D. It tastes like toast. 31. Which word best describes bakers’ attitude to Crumbier in France? A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。法国人Franck Wallet联合工程师发明新机器，解决面包浪费问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes.(因为法国人希望他们的面包超级新鲜，法国3万名面包师中的大多数人不得不在一天结束时把剩下的法国长棍面包扔进垃圾箱)”可知，法国大多数的面包师会把一天中剩下的面包扔进垃圾桶。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wasted food — especially baguettes.(法国人弗兰克·皮勒多年来一直在思考这个食物浪费问题。他最初是一名城市规划师，并在该领域工作了多年。但他的脑子里经常会想到如何处理浪费掉的食物——尤其是法国长棍面包)”可知，Franck Wallet非常关注面包浪费的问题。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast.(用Crumbier面包屑做的面包颜色较深，但只有一点点。味道也有点不同，被形容为有烤吐司的味道)”可知，用Crumbier面包屑制作而成的面包吃起来像吐司。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food.(Crumbier现在正在销售，法国各地的面包师都在确保他们有一个。没有人想浪费食物)”可知，法国面包师们非常看好Crumbier面包机器。故选C。 D The jack fruit is a delicious fruit found throughout certain parts of Asia. But there is more to the fruit than just its taste. When considering the fruit’s English name, it is easy to become overwhelmed with questions like: “Who is Jack? And why does he have his own fruit?” Surprisingly, “jack fruit” isn’t a person’s name at all. The fruit’s name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham, with India thought to be the fruit’s place of origin. Portuguese explorers who journeyed to this region went on to call it jack, which leads us to the current English name of jack fruit, according to National Public Radio(NPR). Unfortunately, no one called Jack has been proven to be involved at any point in this process. There is another food, however, that was directly named after a person—the sandwich. In the 18th century, playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society. John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork. This newly-created snack kept hands clean so card players could continue on without dirtying their cards. The midnight snack quickly became popular among everyday people, and before long everyone was making their own sandwiches. That is how the sandwich was invented and got its name. Away from the world of food, there are more examples of names inspired by people. Long johns, the warm trousers that keep us warm in winter, are said to have been named after the US boxer John L. Sullivan who took to wearing a similar type of garment in the ring (比赛). There are many other interesting etymologies(词源) in the English language like these. So the next time you find an interesting name, why not explore its history too? 32. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Puzzled. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Annoyed. 33. Where does the jack fruit’s name come from? A. A place in India. B. An Indian word. C. A Portuguese explorer. D. A discoverer of the fruit. 34. What do we know about the sandwich according to the text? A. It was named after a popular card game. B. It was once eaten as a snack in the daytime. C. It was first popular among the UK’s middle class. D. It was created for the convenience of playing cards. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To raise readers’ interest in etymology. B. To introduce things named after people. C. To stress the importance of learning history. D. To explain the effects of people’s names on food. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英语中一些单词的起源以及背后的故事。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““Who is Jack? And why does he have his own fruit?””可知，人们对这种水果的名字存在疑问“杰克是谁？他为什么有自己的果子呢？”，即对名字感到困惑。故划线词意思是“困惑的”。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The fruit’s name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham, with India thought to be the fruit’s place of origin.(这种水果的名字最初来自印度南部的单词chakka pazham，印度被认为是这种水果的原产地)”可知，杰克果的名字从一个印度词来的。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the 18th century, playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society. John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork.(在18世纪，打牌玩到深夜在英国上流社会成为一种时尚。三明治伯爵四世John Montagu养成了把冷牛肉夹在两片面包之间点餐的习惯，这样就不用离开赌桌或使用刀叉就能吃到夜宵)”可知，三明治是为了方便打牌而发明的。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are many other interesting etymologies (词源) in the English language like these. So the next time you find an interesting name, why not explore its history too?(在英语中还有许多其他像这些有趣的词源。所以，下次当你发现一个有趣的名字时，为什么不去探索一下它的历史呢？)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是提高读者对词源学的兴趣。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。 I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost. ___36___.

The goal is to get comfortable with getting lost and moving through the world without a map. Use landmarks to guide yourself. Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home? ___38___. The perfect landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, or a bridge which can serve as a better mark of direction. Use memory tricks (技巧) to remember where you are.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了不利用GPS，培养方向感的一些方法。 【36题详解】 前文“I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost.(我的方向感很差，所以如果没有GPS（全球定位系统）的指引，我不仅会迷路，而且会感到迷路)”可知，作者描述自己方向感很差，需要借助GPS引导；后文“If you want to get confidence on the road or be less dependent on GPS to get around, here are some steps you can take to improve your sense of direction.(如果你想在路上获得信心，或者少依赖GPS出行，这里有一些你可以采取的步骤来提高你的方向感)”表明下文介绍减少对于GPS的依赖提高自身方向感的措施，推断空处应该写出依赖GPS的坏处，G选项“然而，对GPS的依赖会导致你对环境的视野更窄”与前文转折，说明对于GPS依赖的坏处。故选G。 【37题详解】 前文“Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked and see where it ends up or take the beautiful road to your favorite restaurant or coffee shop.(下次你去散步的时候，走一条你没走过的路，看看它会停在哪里，或者走一条美丽的路去你最喜欢的餐厅或咖啡店)”表明步行时要走一条从未走过的路，不依赖GPS，E选项“然后看看你能不能在没有GPS的情况下回家”同样表明不用GPS的情况，符合语境。故选E。 【38题详解】 前文“Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home?(不确定你是在家的北、南、东还是西边)”引出问题，空处引提出解决方案，结合后文“The perfect landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, or a bridge which can serve as a better mark of direction.(完美的地标是又大又远的，像一个大的标志，一条公路或一座桥，可以作为更好的方向标志)”可知，空处应表示利用路标，B选项“选择城里的地标来帮助你自己”符合语境。故选B。 【39题详解】 前文“Keep street names and roads in mind by using stories and tricks to lock things in.(使用故事和技巧来记住街道名称和道路，以便在需要时能够迅速找到它们)”表示可以通过记住街道名称和道路来认路，F选项“当街道名称很难知道时，这尤其有用”中This指代“使用故事和技巧来记住街道名称和道路”，同样表示利用街道名称和道路来认路。故选F。 【40题详解】 前文“These methods may not turn you into an expert guide able to find your way out of being lost.(这些方法可能无法让你成为一名能够在迷路时找到出路的专家导游)”表明这些方法不会让自己成为专家导游，空处应描述这些方法的实际用处，C选项“但它们可以减少迷路的焦虑”符合语境，与前文语境一致。故选C。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共三节，满分55分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After graduation, I decided to take the gym seriously.
