Eddie Van Halen was a founding member of the band Van Halen.He formed the group in 1974 with his brother Alex，who played the drums.Van Halen released （发行） its most popular single，the song Jump，in 1983.Jump rose to the top of Billboard Magaz ne's list of Hot 100 songs and stayed there for five weeks.The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland，Ohio lists Jump among its "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll".Eddie Van Halen released at least 15 record albums with his band over the years，selling more than 80 million around the world.In 2007，Van Halen entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Van Halen brothers were born in the Netherlands.Their father was a professional musician.Their mother was from Indonesia.In the 1950s，some Netherlanders did not support the mixed﹣race （混种族） marriage，so the family moved to the United States.They settled in southern California.Eddie and Alex Van Halen had to learn English in their new land.Both brothers studied piano for years before getting interested in rock and roll.
As a child，Eddie was considered musically gifted.Eddie told a reporter he did not learn to read music.He said he would watch his teacher play and memorize his moves.He also said that he never took a class on playing the guitar，although he studied under Eric Clapton for a time.His father was among the first to recognize Eddie's guitar skill. "You've got it，kid，" Eddie's father said to him early on.
Eddie's guitar playing was hard and fast.He was energetic while performing，often jumping like an acrobat （杂技演员） as he played.He was known for the way he tapped on the guitar strings with both hands.It influenced many musicians that followed.

13．（10分） In the world of digital health，Silicon Valley﹣based Mindstrong stands out.It has an amazing idea：that its app，based on mental functioning research，can help detect （探测） troubling mental health patterns by collecting data on a person's smartphone usage—how quickly they type or scroll，for instance.
The promise of that technology has helped motivate Mindstrong a lot since it launched last year；already more than a dozen counties in California have agreed to use the company's app for patients.
Mindstrong works by collecting information about how people are typing and running it through a machine to determine which data can predict their emotional state.The idea is to use that data to build a "normal" pattern—so it can be compared against someone's typing habits on any given day.If the habits look abnormal，the app can send messages to a health care provider.And one of Mindstrong's most encouraging results is that its app can even predict how a person will feel next week—kind of like a weather app for your mood.
The app can detect a seven﹣point change on the Hamilton Rating Scale for depression （抑郁）.That kind of difference could indicate a patient who is not normally depressed now shows signs of mild or moderate （适度的） depression，or that a person with moderate depression is now showing signs of a very severe condition，knowing which could be very powerful for a clinician and for someone taking care of a patient.
Does the app live up to its promise？There's no way to tell.Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works.Most of the company's key promises aren't yet supported by published，peer﹣reviewed data — leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world.
Based on her own research，one expert in digital health and mood said she's doubtful that Mindstrong can，in a general population，work as well as the company promises.MIT's Picard said that while there are ways to predict or detect mood changes，you usually need more than just a single type of data to do so.
The company's website describes five completed clinical trials （临床试验），but it has not yet published the results of any.Only a handful of other published works — all from the last year — have proved how well it works.
Besides，there are plenty of issues that could affect typing speed，which Mindstrong hasn't figured out how to deal with yet.Sticky fingers after lunch，full hands at an airport，wearing gloves during winter，or a broken hand might also affect a person's typing speed — and therefore the app's performance.
However，according to the company's founder，Dr.Paul Dagum，they've done several successful clinical tests on its memory and detective function for depression，for anxiety and for mental decline. "We're confident，we're already seeing some really exciting results." said Dr.Dagum.
Last year，Mindstrong doubled the company's workforce to 42 employees and it launched a partnership with Harvard T.H School of Public Health to deal with depression treatments.
And about 15 counties—including the county with the largest population in the United States，Los Angeles County—will be spending about ﹩60 million over the next four years to bring companies like Mindstrong into their health care system to help them get better services to people with mental illnesses like depression.
（1）How does Mindstrong predict or detect mood changes？ 　 　
A．By sending some messages to a health care provider.
B．By comparing against other people's data in the app.
C．By building a normal pattern of people's typing habits.
D．By analyzing the collected information of phone usage.
（2）People doubt Mindstrong probably because 　 　 .
A．the single type of data is not that enough
B．its clinical trials haven't been completed
C．nobody outside the company supported it
D．it can't be used when they are at the airport
（3）What is the purpose of the passage？ 　 　
A．To argue for a media.
B．To introduce a new app.
C．To explain a phenomenon.
D．To report an event.
14．（10分） I always listen to my local public radio station while I'm driving.My focus often changes as I stare out at the road ahead.But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.
There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas （野猪） that ruined a golf course near Sedona，Arizona，followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar （美洲虎），a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora，Mexico，until construction of the border wall blocked the way.Finally，there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona.The results were mixed：Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently.
As I sat in my car，listening to the news，I felt helpless，even mournful.What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas' behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn't be in the desert to begin with？The way I saw it，the javelinas weren't invading （入侵） the site；they were reclaiming it.After all，the javelinas' needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans' desire to play golf.
As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news，for the past 25 years，scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population，and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat.Today，almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild，and every year，humans illegally kill one out of ten.The wolf recovery effort is necessary，but it's extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.
I need to tackle my helplessness，because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most.Therefore，I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems.That's progress and fuels my hope.
（1）What is the morning news about？ 　 　
A．Dangers of local wildlife.
B．Efforts to reintroduce wildlife.
C．Issues of human﹣wildlife coexistence.
D．Distribution of wildlife around the world.
（2）Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author？ 　 　
A．To meet basic needs.
B．To protect the desert.
C．To oppose golf playing.
D．To attack human beings.
（3）What do we know about the Mexican wolves？ 　 　
A．They are bound to go extinct.
B．Humans threaten their survival.
C．Their number has greatly increased.
D．10% of them have been reintroduced.
（4）What is the author's attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph？ 　 　
A．Unclear.
B．Negative.
C．Optimistic.
D．Indifferent.
四．信息匹配（共1小题，满分12分，每小题12分）

What are clouds
A cloud is made of water drops in the sky.There are many kinds of clouds，which are an important part of Earth's weather.
How do clouds form？
The sky can be full of water.But most of the time you can't see the water.（1）　 　 They have turned into a gas called water vapor.As the water vapor goes higher in the sky，the air gets cooler.The cooler air causes the water droplets to start to stick to things like bits of ice.
What are some kinds of clouds？
（2）　 　 One way is by where they are found in the sky.Some clouds are high up in the sky.Low clouds form closer to Earth's surface.Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds.Another way clouds are named is by their shape.Cirrus clouds are high clouds.They look like feathers. （3）　 　 These clouds look like huge cotton balls in the sky.Stratus clouds are low clouds.They cover the sky like bed sheets.
（4）　 　
Most of the water in clouds is in very small droplets.The droplets are so light that they float in the air.Sometimes those droplets join with other droplets.Then they turn into larger drops.When that happens，gravity causes them to fall to Earth.We call the falling water drops "rain".
Why do scientists study clouds？
Clouds are important for many reasons.Rain and snow are two of those reasons.At night，clouds reflect heat and keep the ground warmer.During the day，clouds make shade that can keep us cooler. （5）　 　
A.What causes rain？
B.Why are clouds white？
C.Cumulus clouds are middle clouds.
D.Clouds get their names in two ways.
E.The drops of water are too small to see.
F.However，other planets have clouds that are not made of water.
G.Studying clouds helps scientists better understand Earth's weather.

19．（25分）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。
On a misty morning in July，Clay and Acaimie arrived at the base of Mount Liamuiga，ready for their first honeymoon climb.They had married just five days earlier back home in Indiana，the United States.
They had their apparent differences.Acaimie had always been the worrier.Clay，on the other hand，was an optimist﹣always certain that things would turn out just fine.So it was Clay who wanted to spend a day of their honeymoon climbing Mount Liamuiga，which is also a volcano ﹣a popular destination for vacationers looking for adventure.
The couple，dressed in white T﹣shirts and sneakers，arrived in a rental car expecting to explore.When arriving，they found an empty dirt parking lot with just a small sign marking the beginning of the track.They made their way up.
It took them nearly three hours to reach the peak，but the view made it all worthwhile.Though worm﹣out，they couldn't have been happier as they took a few selfies（ 自拍照） with their cellphones ，and walked around the edge of the volcano.
That's when Clay saw it：a small track ，half﹣hidden beneath plant life，which led into the volcano's
crater（火山口）.A series of holes had been drilled into the rocks ，with ropes that led down.For Clay，the sight was incredibly inviting.It felt like a secret entrance to a mysterious paradise （乐园）.Acaimie was less enthusiastic.The track was steep，and she was afraid of heights，but she bravely followed Clay's lead.After just a few minutes of going downwards，she had had enough ，though.She told her husband she'd wait on the rocks just off the track while he went on exploring. " Just be quick，" she said and watched him set off on the rough path while he was grasping the rope.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1：
A few minutes later，she heard a noise of something rolling downhill and a cry for help from deep within the crater.________________________________
Paragraph 2：
There was nobody when they reached the top，but fortunately Acaimie found a signal on her cellphone._____________________________

【解答】（1）段落大意题。根据第二段Eddie Van Halen was a founding member of the band Van Halen.He formed the group in 1974 with his brother Alex，who played the drums.Van Halen released （发行） its most popular single，the song Jump，in 1983.Jump rose to the top of Billboard Magaz ne's list of Hot 100 songs and stayed there for five weeks.The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland，Ohio lists Jump among its "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll".Eddie Van Halen released at least 15 record albums with his band over the years，selling more than 80 million around the world.In 2007，Van Halen entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame（Eddie Van Halen是Van Halen乐队的创始成员。1974年，他和打鼓的哥哥亚历克斯组建了这个乐队。范海伦获释（发行） 1983年，其最受欢迎的单曲《Jump》登上了公告牌Magaz ne的100首热门歌曲排行榜榜首，并在那里停留了五周。俄亥俄州克利夫兰的摇滚名人堂将《Jump》列为"塑造摇滚的500首歌曲"之一。Eddie Van Halen多年来与他的乐队一起发行了至少15张唱片，在世界各地的销量超过8000万张。2007年，范海伦进入摇滚名人堂）可知，本段主要内容是介绍了Eddie的成就。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Their mother was from Indonesia.In the 1950s.some Netherlanders did not support the mixed﹣race （混种族） marriage，so the family moved to the United States（他们的母亲来自印度尼西亚。在20世纪50年代，一些荷兰人不支持混种族婚姻，所以他们全家搬到了美国）可知，Van Halen一家搬到美国是为了逃避种族偏见。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段中As a child，Eddie was considered musically gifted.Eddie told a reporter he did not learn to read music.He said he would watch his teacher play and memorize his moves（Eddie小时候就被认为有音乐天赋。Eddie告诉记者，他没有学会读谱。他说他会看老师下棋，并记住他的动作）可知，Eddie小时候很聪明。故选C。

13．（10分） In the world of digital health，Silicon Valley﹣based Mindstrong stands out.It has an amazing idea：that its app，based on mental functioning research，can help detect （探测） troubling mental health patterns by collecting data on a person's smartphone usage—how quickly they type or scroll，for instance.
The promise of that technology has helped motivate Mindstrong a lot since it launched last year；already more than a dozen counties in California have agreed to use the company's app for patients.
Mindstrong works by collecting information about how people are typing and running it through a machine to determine which data can predict their emotional state.The idea is to use that data to build a "normal" pattern—so it can be compared against someone's typing habits on any given day.If the habits look abnormal，the app can send messages to a health care provider.And one of Mindstrong's most encouraging results is that its app can even predict how a person will feel next week—kind of like a weather app for your mood.
The app can detect a seven﹣point change on the Hamilton Rating Scale for depression （抑郁）.That kind of difference could indicate a patient who is not normally depressed now shows signs of mild or moderate （适度的） depression，or that a person with moderate depression is now showing signs of a very severe condition，knowing which could be very powerful for a clinician and for someone taking care of a patient.
Does the app live up to its promise？There's no way to tell.Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works.Most of the company's key promises aren't yet supported by published，peer﹣reviewed data — leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world.
Based on her own research，one expert in digital health and mood said she's doubtful that Mindstrong can，in a general population，work as well as the company promises.MIT's Picard said that while there are ways to predict or detect mood changes，you usually need more than just a single type of data to do so.
The company's website describes five completed clinical trials （临床试验），but it has not yet published the results of any.Only a handful of other published works — all from the last year — have proved how well it works.
Besides，there are plenty of issues that could affect typing speed，which Mindstrong hasn't figured out how to deal with yet.Sticky fingers after lunch，full hands at an airport，wearing gloves during winter，or a broken hand might also affect a person's typing speed — and therefore the app's performance.
However，according to the company's founder，Dr.Paul Dagum，they've done several successful clinical tests on its memory and detective function for depression，for anxiety and for mental decline. "We're confident，we're already seeing some really exciting results." said Dr.Dagum.
Last year，Mindstrong doubled the company's workforce to 42 employees and it launched a partnership with Harvard T.H School of Public Health to deal with depression treatments.
And about 15 counties—including the county with the largest population in the United States，Los Angeles County—will be spending about ﹩60 million over the next four years to bring companies like Mindstrong into their health care system to help them get better services to people with mental illnesses like depression.
（1）How does Mindstrong predict or detect mood changes？ 　C　
A．By sending some messages to a health care provider.
B．By comparing against other people's data in the app.
C．By building a normal pattern of people's typing habits.
D．By analyzing the collected information of phone usage.
（2）People doubt Mindstrong probably because 　A　 .
A．the single type of data is not that enough
B．its clinical trials haven't been completed
C．nobody outside the company supported it
D．it can't be used when they are at the airport
（3）What is the purpose of the passage？ 　B　
A．To argue for a media.
B．To introduce a new app.
C．To explain a phenomenon.
D．To report an event.
【答案】CAB
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据第三段Mindstrong works by collecting information about how people are typing and running it through a machine to determine which data can predict their emotional state.The idea is to use that data to build a "normal" pattern—so it can be compared against someone's typing habits on any given day.（Mindstrong的工作原理是收集人们如何打字的信息，然后通过一台机器来判断哪些数据可以预测他们的情绪状态。这个想法是用这些数据来建立一个"正常"的模式，这样它就可以与任何人在任何一天的打字习惯进行比较。）可知，Mindstrong通过建立人们打字习惯的正常模式来预测或检测情绪变化。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第六段MIT's Picard said that while there are ways to predict or detect mood changes，you usually need more than just a single type of data to do so.（麻省理工学院的皮卡德说，虽然有很多方法可以预测或检测情绪变化，但你通常需要的不仅仅是单一类型的数据。）可知，人们怀疑Mindstrong可能是因为单一类型的数据不够。故选A。
（3）写作目的题。根据第一段In the world of digital health，Silicon Valley﹣based Mindstrong stands out.It has an amazing idea：that its app，based on mental functioning research，can help detect（探测） troubling mental health patterns by collecting data on a person's smartphone usage—how quickly they type or scroll，for instance.（在数字健康领域，总部位于硅谷的Mindstrong脱颖而出。它有一个惊人的想法：它的应用程序基于心理功能研究，可以通过收集人们使用智能手机的数据﹣﹣比如他们打字或滚动的速度﹣﹣来帮助检测令人不安的心理健康模式。）可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍一个新的应用程序。B．To introduce a new app.（为了介绍一款新的应用软件。）符合文意，故选B。

14．（10分） I always listen to my local public radio station while I'm driving.My focus often changes as I stare out at the road ahead.But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.
There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas （野猪） that ruined a golf course near Sedona，Arizona，followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar （美洲虎），a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora，Mexico，until construction of the border wall blocked the way.Finally，there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona.The results were mixed：Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently.
As I sat in my car，listening to the news，I felt helpless，even mournful.What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas' behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn't be in the desert to begin with？The way I saw it，the javelinas weren't invading （入侵） the site；they were reclaiming it.After all，the javelinas' needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans' desire to play golf.
As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news，for the past 25 years，scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population，and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat.Today，almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild，and every year，humans illegally kill one out of ten.The wolf recovery effort is necessary，but it's extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.
I need to tackle my helplessness，because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most.Therefore，I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems.That's progress and fuels my hope.
（1）What is the morning news about？ 　C　
A．Dangers of local wildlife.
B．Efforts to reintroduce wildlife.
C．Issues of human﹣wildlife coexistence.
D．Distribution of wildlife around the world.
（2）Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author？ 　A　
A．To meet basic needs.
B．To protect the desert.
C．To oppose golf playing.
D．To attack human beings.
（3）What do we know about the Mexican wolves？ 　B　
A．They are bound to go extinct.
B．Humans threaten their survival.
C．Their number has greatly increased.
D．10% of them have been reintroduced.
（4）What is the author's attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph？ 　C　
A．Unclear.
B．Negative.
C．Optimistic.
D．Indifferent.
【答案】CABC
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.（但在最近的一个早晨，当我意识到整个新闻节目都是关于当地野生动物的，我就全神贯注了。）和第二段There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas （野猪） that ruined a golf course near Sedona，Arizona，followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar （美洲虎），a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora，Mexico，until construction of the border wall blocked the way.Finally，there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona.（一群大约有30到50只的野猪毁坏了亚利桑那州塞多纳附近的一个高尔夫球场，接着是最近看到美洲虎的传闻，这种物种在亚利桑那州和墨西哥索诺拉之间活动，直到修建边境墙挡住了道路。最后，在新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州重新引入墨西哥狼的努力有了最新进展。）可知，作者听到的早间新闻涉及到人类与野生动物共存的问题。故选C项。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段的句子The way I saw it，the javelinas weren't invading （入侵） the site；they were reclaiming it.After all，the javelinas' needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans' desire to play golf.（在我看来，野猪并没有入侵这个球场；他们正在收回它。毕竟，野猪对食物和空间的需求比少数特权阶层打高尔夫球的欲望更基本。）可知，野猪摧毁高尔夫球场是为了满足它们的基本需求。故选A项。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段的最后两句Today，almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild，and every year，humans illegally kill one out of ten.（今天，大约有250只墨西哥狼被认为生活在野外，每年，人类非法杀死十分之一的狼。）可知，人类威胁着墨西哥狼的生存。故选B项。
（4）观点态度题。根据最后一段的句子Therefore，I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems.That's progress and fuels my hope.（因此，我认为，我的地方新闻现在经常报道共存的挑战和我们问题的可能解决办法，这一定是一个好的迹象。这就是进步，激发了我的希望。）可以推论出，作者对最后一段提到的挑战持乐观的态度。故选C项。

What are clouds
A cloud is made of water drops in the sky.There are many kinds of clouds，which are an important part of Earth's weather.
How do clouds form？
The sky can be full of water.But most of the time you can't see the water.（1）　E　 They have turned into a gas called water vapor.As the water vapor goes higher in the sky，the air gets cooler.The cooler air causes the water droplets to start to stick to things like bits of ice.
What are some kinds of clouds？
（2）　D　 One way is by where they are found in the sky.Some clouds are high up in the sky.Low clouds form closer to Earth's surface.Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds.Another way clouds are named is by their shape.Cirrus clouds are high clouds.They look like feathers. （3）　C　 These clouds look like huge cotton balls in the sky.Stratus clouds are low clouds.They cover the sky like bed sheets.
（4）　A　
Most of the water in clouds is in very small droplets.The droplets are so light that they float in the air.Sometimes those droplets join with other droplets.Then they turn into larger drops.When that happens，gravity causes them to fall to Earth.We call the falling water drops "rain".
Why do scientists study clouds？
Clouds are important for many reasons.Rain and snow are two of those reasons.At night，clouds reflect heat and keep the ground warmer.During the day，clouds make shade that can keep us cooler. （5）　G　
A.What causes rain？
B.Why are clouds white？
C.Cumulus clouds are middle clouds.
D.Clouds get their names in two ways.
E.The drops of water are too small to see.
F.However，other planets have clouds that are not made of water.
G.Studying clouds helps scientists better understand Earth's weather.
【答案】 EDCAG
【解答】（1）语境衔接题。根据该空前The sky can be full of water.But most of the time you can't see the water（天空可能充满了水。但大多数时候你看不到水）和该空后的They have turned into a gas called water vapor（它们已经变成一种叫做水蒸气的气体）可知，天空中的这些水滴十分微小，它们已经转化成了水蒸气，所以很难被看见。选项E.The drops of water are too small to see.（水滴太小，看不见）符合语境。故选E。
（2）联系下文题。根据下文One way is by where they are found in the sky.（一种方法是通过在天空中发现它们的地方）及Another way clouds are named is by their shape.（云的另一种命名方式是根据它们的形状）可知，这里是说给云命名的两种方式。选项D.Clouds get their names in two ways.（云的名字来源于两个方面）符合语境。故选D。
（3）语境衔接题。根据该空前的Cirrus clouds are high clouds.They look like feathers.（卷云是高高的云。它们看起来像羽毛。）和该空后These clouds look like huge cotton balls in the sky.Stratus clouds are low clouds.（这些云看起来像天空中的巨大棉球。层云是低云。）可知，位于高低云层之间的云还没有介绍。选项C.Cumulus clouds are middle clouds.（积云是中间的云）符合语境。故选C。
（4）联系下文题。根据下文Most of the water in clouds is in very small droplets.The droplets are so light that they float in the air.Sometimes those droplets join with other droplets.Then they turn into larger drops.When that happens，gravity causes them to fall to Earth.We call the falling water drops "rain".（云中的大部分水是以非常小的水滴形式存在的。这些水滴很轻，漂浮在空中。有时这些水滴会与其他水滴结合。然后它们会变成更大的水滴。当这种情况发生时，重力会导致它们坠落到地球上。我们把下落的水滴称为"雨"。）可知，本段主要介绍了雨的形成过程，选项A.What causes rain？（什么原因导致下雨？）作为小标题最恰当。故选A。
（5）联系上文题。根据本段标题Why do scientists study clouds？（科学家为什么研究云？）可知，本段讲述研究云的好处。选项G.Studying clouds helps scientists better understand Earth's weather.（研究云有助于科学家更好地了解地球的天气）符合语境。故选G。
【点评】七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子。解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子。

六．语法填空（共1小题，满分15分，每小题15分）
17．（15分） Have you heard the saying "Nature works in mysterious ways"？Nature in itself has a special system （1）　that/which　 helps it to deal with environmental changes.It can also provide us solutions to a lot of our everyday （2）　issues　 （issue） such as product design，medicine，technology and architecture.A deep look at the elements and systems of nature can help us （3）　with　 our design and planning of architecture.This art of （4）　adapting　 （adapt） ideas of nature into buildings is known as biomimicry （仿生学） in architecture.
The word "Biomimicry" originates from the Greek term "bios" and "mimesis"，which means learning from nature （5）　to achieve　 （achieve） sustainable （可持续的） solutions.With growing time and technology，we have realized that being close to nature is （6）　beneficial　 （benefit） .Therefore，getting to know the potential of biomimicry is now important.Generally，the more nature﹣oriented we are，the （7）　better　 （good） our designs will be.Biomimicry （8）　adds　 （add） a sense of sustainability and creativity to design.
Peter Niewiarowski，an expert in biomimicry once said "The way biological systems solve problems is pretty different from the way of the engineered systems".Therefore，we can say （9）　the　 inspirations from nature are more reasonable and reliable.Moreover，Biomimicry has helped to solve the design challenges in an environment﹣friendly way and raised our （10）　awareness　 （aware） of the well﹣being of all the lives on our planet.
【答案】（1）that/which（2）issues（3）with（4）adapting（5）to achieve（6）beneficial（7）better（8）adds（9）the（10）awareness
【解答】（1）考查定语从句关系词。句意：大自然本身就有一个特殊的系统来帮助它应对环境变化。分析句子成分可知，此处引导定语从句，先行词为a special system，指物，且空处在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。
（2）考查可数名词复数。句意：它还可以为我们提供许多日常问题的解决方案，如产品设计、医学、技术和架构。issue在这里意为"问题"，为可数名词，根据修饰词a lot of可知，此处应用其复数形式。故填issues。
（3）考查介词。句意：深入了解自然的元素和系统可以帮助我们进行建筑的设计和规划。help sb.with sth."在某方面帮助某人"，固定搭配。故填with。
（4）考查动名词。句意：这种将自然思想融入建筑的艺术被称为建筑中的仿生学。分析句子结构可知，此处位于介词of后，应用动名词作宾语。故填adapting。
（5）考查动词不定式。句意："仿生"一词源于希腊语"bios"和"mimesis"，意思是向自然学习以实现可持续的解决方案。根据句子结构和句意可知，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to achieve。
（6）考查形容词。句意：随着时间和技术的增长，我们已经意识到亲近自然是有益的。分析句子结构可知，此处应用形容词beneficial"有益的，有帮助的"作表语。故填beneficial。
（7）考查比较级。句意：一般来说，我们越是以自然为导向，我们的设计就会越好。分析句子结构可知，此处为"the+比较级...，the+比较级..."这一固定结构，意为"越……，就越……"，故此处应用good的比较级better。故填better。
（8）考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：仿生学为设计增添了可持续性和创造力。分析句子结构可知，此处为句子谓语动词，根据句意可知，句子陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且主语为biomimicry，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填adds。
（9）考查冠词。句意：因此，我们可以说，来自自然的启示是更加合理和可靠的。分析可知，此处特指来自自然的启示，故应用定冠词the表示特指。故填the。
（10）考查不可数名词。句意：此外，仿生学以环保的方式帮助解决了设计挑战，并提高了我们对地球上所有生命福祉的认识。分析句子成分可知，此处应用名词awareness"意识"作动词raised的宾语，awareness为不可数名词。故填awareness。

八．书面表达（共1小题，满分25分，每小题25分）
19．（25分）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。
On a misty morning in July，Clay and Acaimie arrived at the base of Mount Liamuiga，ready for their first honeymoon climb.They had married just five days earlier back home in Indiana，the United States.
They had their apparent differences.Acaimie had always been the worrier.Clay，on the other hand，was an optimist﹣always certain that things would turn out just fine.So it was Clay who wanted to spend a day of their honeymoon climbing Mount Liamuiga，which is also a volcano ﹣a popular destination for vacationers looking for adventure.
The couple，dressed in white T﹣shirts and sneakers，arrived in a rental car expecting to explore.When arriving，they found an empty dirt parking lot with just a small sign marking the beginning of the track.They made their way up.
It took them nearly three hours to reach the peak，but the view made it all worthwhile.Though worm﹣out，they couldn't have been happier as they took a few selfies（ 自拍照） with their cellphones ，and walked around the edge of the volcano.
That's when Clay saw it：a small track ，half﹣hidden beneath plant life，which led into the volcano's
crater（火山口）.A series of holes had been drilled into the rocks ，with ropes that led down.For Clay，the sight was incredibly inviting.It felt like a secret entrance to a mysterious paradise （乐园）.Acaimie was less enthusiastic.The track was steep，and she was afraid of heights，but she bravely followed Clay's lead.After just a few minutes of going downwards，she had had enough ，though.She told her husband she'd wait on the rocks just off the track while he went on exploring. " Just be quick，" she said and watched him set off on the rough path while he was grasping the rope.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1：
A few minutes later，she heard a noise of something rolling downhill and a cry for help from deep within the crater.________________________________
Paragraph 2：
There was nobody when they reached the top，but fortunately Acaimie found a signal on her cellphone._____________________________
【答案】A few minutes later，she heard a noise of something rolling downhill and a cry for help from deep within the crater.Acaimie fought back a wave of panic.Leaning forward，she figured out it was Clay.She pulled out her cellphone，only to find there was no signal.Without delay，Acaimie grabbed the rope and began climbing down the track.Finally，she spotted his white T﹣shirt.Getting closer，she could see his head bleeding and was in shock.She was calling for help but in vain.Determined to drag him out，she helped Clay shakily to his feet.She told him to hold the rope tightly and pushed him from behind.Step by step，they climbed with all their might.
There was nobody when they reached the top，but fortunately she found a signal on her cellphone.Instantly，she dialed 911 once again and described what had happened to her husband in a worried voice.The operator promised to send an ambulance at once and asked Acaimie to stop bleeding first.While waiting for the ambulance，Acaimie had Clay rest in a flat position，stopping the bleeding with a clean cloth.Ultimately，the paramedics came and took Clay to the hospital immediately.It was Acaimie's bravery and wisdom that saved her husband's life.

【点评】解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
