A brand of salami (萨拉米香肠) known as Galileo is celebrating 75 years of making the cured (腌制的) meats by welcoming salami fans into their family with a chance to win a unique cooking experience in a seaside region of Italy.
But don’t worry; you don’t have to speak Italian. All you have to do is simply share a photo of yourself on Instagram using the hashtags #GalileoFamily and #Sweepstakes and tag @GalileoSalame. If you follow the rules of the contest, you are automatically entered for a chance to win a weeklong trip for two to Italy to explore the history and cooking riches of the seaside region.
“For the better part of a century, we’ve been curing authentic Italian salami with the idea of family and tradition,” said Jeremy Kross, Brand Manager at Galileo, a company that was started in 1945 by Frank Sorba in San Francisco. “The ‘Welcome to the Family’ program celebrates our Italian heritage and, of course, the deliciousness of salami.”
The winners will learn about the history of the Galileo brand and explore incredible destinations there like Ancona, a city and seaport that sits along Italy’s Adriatic coast; Mount Conero, known as a “small piece of heaven” on the Adriatic Sea with some of the clearest water; and finally, San Marino, said to be the world’s oldest surviving republic. While in Sant’Angelo in Vado, the winners will visit La Tavola Marche, a unique hands-on cooking experience where guests can immerse themselves in Italian culture and food.
The trip for two will last for seven days, six nights, and is valued at $7,500 U.S. The contest ends on October 21, after which they will do a random drawing to determine the winner.

Halfway through the women’s slalom event at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin held a commanding lead over the greatest women’s slalom skiers in the world. On her final run, she burst from the start house at top speed, zigzagging around the poles. Suddenly, her left ski slid out, causing her to temporarily lose control. It seemed as if her dreams of a gold medal might slide down the mountain, out of her reach. But in the blink of an eye, Mikaela stopped her mini-skid and rocketed through the rest of her run. She became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.
Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela’s life. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her steep driveway on plastic skis. From ages 8 to 11, she worked hard, repeating hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the correct techniques. When Mikaela was 11, she enrolled at the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers.
According to headmaster Kirk Dwyer, “What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.” At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13-and 14-year-olds. And she won! By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race.
For Mikaela, working hard is a full-time job. In the summer, when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym, her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weightlifting, core body work, and biking to improve her strength and agility.
“If you’re passionate about your goals, whatever they are,” she says, “there’s no limit to what you can achieve. Give it your all!”
4. What happened to Mikaela at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games
A. She fell behind others at first.
B. She overcame the accident and completed her run.
C. She lost control and slid down the mountain.
D. She was the first slalom skier to win an Olympic gold medal.
5. According to the text, how many times did Mikaela win in international competitions
A. One B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
6. Which of the following best describes Mikaela
A. Demanding and curious. B. Ambitious and diligent.
C. Caring and brave. D. Patient and intelligent.
7. What is the best title for the text
A Zigzagging to Success B. The Strength of Confidence
C. The Value of Failure D. An Exciting Slalom Event
C
Ever since the success of Apollo 11, when lunar travel was finally publicly acknowledged to be safe for humans, people have been waiting for the day when space would be opened up on a large scale to those who are not astronauts. It has finally become a reality, at least for people who have the means. The space flights are not cheap—each flight into outer space costs about U.S. $ 20 million.
But space travel agencies now have a clever plan to offer suborbital (亚轨道的) flights, which cost about U.S. $100 000. A lunar mission is also made available by space tourism agency, Space Adventures, where tourists, accompanied by one professional astronaut, would be able to reach within 100km of the Moon’s surface, enabling them to see the bright far-side of the moon and witness Earth rising above the surface of the moon.
Further extending the idea of space tourism, plans are underway to open a resort in space. In Galactic Suite Space Resort, a space resort started by a Spanish entrepreneur, guests are promised a remarkable experience with an orbital stay onboard with first-class resort facilities; they can enjoy a weightless spa as they watch 15 sunsets in one day; and tourists would be able to complete a single orbit in 80 minutes—all this while staying in a bio-inspired space, similar to a tropical paradise island!
Space tourism is, however, not environmentally-friendly. There are suggestions that black carbon emitted by the spacecraft could raise temperatures at the poles, contributing to global warming. An increase in space travel would mean that Man would not only leave his footprint in space but also his waste—space tourism can lead to pollution of the environment of the outer space.
Without a doubt, space tourism opens up new exciting possibilities. With time, the price would become more reasonable. Increasing commercialisation of space would also mean that a structure would be put in place for the disposal of rubbish. However, with no immediate solutions, space tourism would probably prove to be yet another controversial (有争议的) adventure of mankind.
8. What does the word “means” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Methods. B. Courage. C. Money. D. Dreams.
9. What do we know about the Galactic Suite Space Resort
A. It enables guests to see the bright far-side of the moon.
B. It offers high quality service to guests.
C. It promises guests can go around the world in one day.
D. It is built on a tropical paradise island.
10. What is the future of space tourism according to the last paragraph
A. Bright. B. Uncertain. C. Meaningless. D. Disastrous.
11. What is the purpose of this text
A To talk about the topic of space travel.
B. To warn people of the danger of space travel.
C. To encourage people to travel in space.
D. To call on people to protect outer space.
D
Watching humorous videos on the Internet at work isn’t always a waste of time. According to Ruby Nadler, a Ph.D. student at the University of Western Ontario, “Generally, positive mood has been found to enhance creative problem solving and flexible yet careful thinking.” She and her colleagues published new research in the Psychological Science.
Students in the study were put into various moods before being given a category learning assignment to complete (they learned to classify sets of pictures with visually complex patterns). The researchers used music and video clips to alter people’s moods; initially, they tested out a few to see which ones made individuals the happiest and saddest. The happiest music was a cheerful Mozart composition, while the happiest video was a newborn laughing.
The researchers then used them in the experiment, along with sad music and video (a piece of music from Schindler’s List and a news report about an earthquake) and music and video that had no effect on mood. People were required to learn to detect a pattern after listening to the music and seeing the movie. Volunteers who were happy were better at learning a rule to categorize the patterns than those who were sad or indifferent.
“If you have a project where you want to think innovatively, or you have a problem to carefully consider, being in a positive mood can help you to do that,” Nadler says. And music is a simple method to put yourself in a good mood. Everyone responds to various types of music, so don’t feel it a must to switch to Mozart, she adds.
12. What is the research about
A. The effects of humorous videos.
B. Positive mood and creative thinking.
C. Ways to solve creative problems.
D. Types of learning.
13. What were the volunteers required to do at last in the research
A. Experience various moods.
B. Decide which music made them the happiest and saddest.
C. Classify pictures with complex patterns.
D. Listen to music and see the movie.
14. How did the researchers draw the conclusion
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By making explanations. D. By making classifications.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Mozart is a better choice than other types of music.
B. Classic music is the easiest way to make people happy.
C. You can’t think innovatively being in a bad mood.
D. Listening to music enhances creative thinking.

Taylor opened her sleepy eyes and looked out the window at the foggy field below. “NO!” she cried, now fully awake. Buttermilk, the cow, was in Mama’s daisy(雏菊) field.
I must have forgotten to fasten the gate last night, Taylor thought as she pulled a sweatshirt over her head. Mama was planning to sell daisy bouquets at the fair next week. But Buttermilk was eating the flowers.
Taylor hurried outside and grabbed the lead rope hanging on the porch. “Why can’t you stay in the field ” she shouted at Buttermilk as she headed across the yard to the daisy field.
Buttermilk stood nipping (啃咬) tender flowers off their stems. Taylor leaped to her feet and rushed to the cow. Angry and anxious, she thought to herself: “When I grow up, I’ll be an artist and paint pictures all day. I’ll never own a cow. Too much trouble.”
Just as Taylor was about to snap the lead rope onto Buttermilk’s collar, the family dog, Red, rounded the corner of the house. The cow couldn’t stand Red.
Buttermilk took off, tearing through the daisies and across the yard. She finally ran through the open gate and into the field.
“Thank goodness!” Taylor said as she closed the gate and secured the latch (门栓).
She turned to look at the flower garden. Most of the daisies were either eaten or crushed.
Mama came out of the house. “What’s going on ” she asked. She looked sadly at her garden.
“I forgot to latch the gate,” Taylor said.“ I’m so sorry.”
“I know you are.” Mama sighed and gave Taylor a hug. “You learned an important lesson today.”
Taylor’s heart was heavy as she went back into the house. She had to think of a way to make it up to her mother.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A painting on the wall caught Taylor’s eye. “That’s it,” she whispered.

Halfway through the women’s slalom event at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin held a commanding lead over the greatest women’s slalom skiers in the world. On her final run, she burst from the start house at top speed, zigzagging around the poles. Suddenly, her left ski slid out, causing her to temporarily lose control. It seemed as if her dreams of a gold medal might slide down the mountain, out of her reach. But in the blink of an eye, Mikaela stopped her mini-skid and rocketed through the rest of her run. She became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.
Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela’s life. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her steep driveway on plastic skis. From ages 8 to 11, she worked hard, repeating hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the correct techniques. When Mikaela was 11, she enrolled at the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers.
According to headmaster Kirk Dwyer, “What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.” At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13-and 14-year-olds. And she won! By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race.
For Mikaela, working hard is a full-time job. In the summer, when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym, her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weightlifting, core body work, and biking to improve her strength and agility.
“If you’re passionate about your goals, whatever they are,” she says, “there’s no limit to what you can achieve. Give it your all!”
4. What happened to Mikaela at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games

Ever since the success of Apollo 11, when lunar travel was finally publicly acknowledged to be safe for humans, people have been waiting for the day when space would be opened up on a large scale to those who are not astronauts. It has finally become a reality, at least for people who have the means. The space flights are not cheap—each flight into outer space costs about U.S. $ 20 million.
But space travel agencies now have a clever plan to offer suborbital (亚轨道的) flights, which cost about U.S. $100 000. A lunar mission is also made available by space tourism agency, Space Adventures, where tourists, accompanied by one professional astronaut, would be able to reach within 100km of the Moon’s surface, enabling them to see the bright far-side of the moon and witness Earth rising above the surface of the moon.
Further extending the idea of space tourism, plans are underway to open a resort in space. In Galactic Suite Space Resort, a space resort started by a Spanish entrepreneur, guests are promised a remarkable experience with an orbital stay onboard with first-class resort facilities; they can enjoy a weightless spa as they watch 15 sunsets in one day; and tourists would be able to complete a single orbit in 80 minutes—all this while staying in a bio-inspired space, similar to a tropical paradise island!
Space tourism is, however, not environmentally-friendly. There are suggestions that black carbon emitted by the spacecraft could raise temperatures at the poles, contributing to global warming. An increase in space travel would mean that Man would not only leave his footprint in space but also his waste—space tourism can lead to pollution of the environment of the outer space.
Without a doubt, space tourism opens up new exciting possibilities. With time, the price would become more reasonable. Increasing commercialisation of space would also mean that a structure would be put in place for the disposal of rubbish. However, with no immediate solutions, space tourism would probably prove to be yet another controversial (有争议的) adventure of mankind.
8. What does the word “means” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Methods. B. Courage. C. Money. D. Dreams.
9. What do we know about the Galactic Suite Space Resort
A. It enables guests to see the bright far-side of the moon.
B. It offers high quality service to guests.
C. It promises guests can go around the world in one day.
D. It is built on a tropical paradise island.
10. What is the future of space tourism according to the last paragraph
A. Bright. B. Uncertain. C. Meaningless. D. Disastrous.
11. What is the purpose of this text
A. To talk about the topic of space travel.
B. To warn people of the danger of space travel.
C. To encourage people to travel in space.
D. To call on people to protect outer space.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太空旅行，人们可以享受在太空的非凡体验，但是太空旅行并不环保，可能会对外层空间环境造成污染。
【详解】1.词句猜测题。根据第一段“The space flights are not cheap—each flight into outer space costs about U.S. $ 20 million.(太空飞行并不便宜，每次进入外层空间的飞行费用约为2000万美元)”可知，太空飞行的费用不低，但是至少对于有钱人来说，它已经变成了现实。由此推知，划线词means指的money。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“In Galactic Suite Space Resort, a space resort started by a Spanish entrepreneur, guests are promised a remarkable experience with an orbital stay onboard with first-class resort facilities; they can enjoy a weightless spa as they watch 15 sunsets in one day; and tourists would be able to complete a single orbit in 80 minutes—all this while staying in a bio-inspired space, similar to a tropical paradise island!(在由一位西班牙企业家创办的银河套房太空度假胜地，游客们被承诺将获得一次非凡的体验，在飞船上享受一流的度假设施；他们可以享受一次太空旅行，在一天内观看15次日落，可以在80分钟内完成一次单轨道飞行，所有这些都是待在一个类似热带天堂岛的仿生空间里完成的！)”可知，Galactic Suite Space Resort为游客们提供高质量的服务。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, with no immediate solutions, space tourism would probably prove to be yet another controversial adventure of mankind.(然而，如果没有立即的解决方案，太空旅游可能将被证明是人类另一次有争议的冒险)”可知，太空旅行的未来是不确定的。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。文章第一段提出太空旅行对于少数人成为现实；第二、三段说明了人们进行太空旅行需要的花费和可能会享受到的服务；第四段指出太空旅行可能会对环境造成污染；最后一段提出太空旅行开辟了新的可能性，价格也更加合理，但是对于如何处理垃圾，人们要想出解决方案，否则太空旅行即将是有争议的。可知文章是围绕太空旅行这一主题进行讨论。故选A项。

Watching humorous videos on the Internet at work isn’t always a waste of time. According to Ruby Nadler, a Ph.D. student at the University of Western Ontario, “Generally, positive mood has been found to enhance creative problem solving and flexible yet careful thinking.” She and her colleagues published new research in the Psychological Science.
Students in the study were put into various moods before being given a category learning assignment to complete (they learned to classify sets of pictures with visually complex patterns). The researchers used music and video clips to alter people’s moods; initially, they tested out a few to see which ones made individuals the happiest and saddest. The happiest music was a cheerful Mozart composition, while the happiest video was a newborn laughing.
The researchers then used them in the experiment, along with sad music and video (a piece of music from Schindler’s List and a news report about an earthquake) and music and video that had no effect on mood. People were required to learn to detect a pattern after listening to the music and seeing the movie. Volunteers who were happy were better at learning a rule to categorize the patterns than those who were sad or indifferent.
“If you have a project where you want to think innovatively, or you have a problem to carefully consider, being in a positive mood can help you to do that,” Nadler says. And music is a simple method to put yourself in a good mood. Everyone responds to various types of music, so don’t feel it a must to switch to Mozart, she adds.
12. What is the research about
A. The effects of humorous videos.
B. Positive mood and creative thinking.
C. Ways to solve creative problems.
D. Types of learning.
13. What were the volunteers required to do at last in the research
A. Experience various moods.
B. Decide which music made them the happiest and saddest.
C. Classify pictures with complex patterns.
D. Listen to music and see the movie.
14. How did the researchers draw the conclusion
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By making explanations. D. By making classifications.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Mozart is a better choice than other types of music.
B. Classic music is the easiest way to make people happy.
C. You can’t think innovatively being in a bad mood.
D. Listening to music enhances creative thinking.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D

【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：都江堰最初是秦国在公元前256年左右作为灌溉和防洪系统修建的，是古代工程技术的一个显著例子，至今仍在使用。in use“在使用着”是固定介词短语，在句中作表语。故填in。
【38题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：战国时期，闽江沿岸的居民每年都受到洪水的困扰。谓语动词trouble和主语people之间是被动关系，根据时间状语During the Warring States period可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语people为复数名词，谓语动词用复数，故填were troubled。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他带领一支队伍建造了一个堤坝，以改变河水的一部分流向。lead sb to do sth“引导某人做某事”是固定短语，不定式作宾语补足语，符合句意。故填to construct。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然后他们在玉雷山凿了一条水道，让水从山上流过。根据句意可知，后文可数名词channel为泛指概念，应用不定冠词限定，因channel发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。

考查动词时态。句意：系统完成后，不再发生洪水。根据上文was finished可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填occurred。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：更重要的是，它使四川成为中国最高产的农区之一，因为从岷江调水可以用于灌溉。根据前文one of the most productive agricultural可知，此处可数名词region应用复数。“one of +形容词最高级+名词复数”是固定表达。故填regions。
【43题详解】
考查形容词反义词。句意：如果你参观都江堰，你会看到一个看起来像鱼嘴的不寻常的建筑。根据语境可知，此处应用usual的反义词unusual作定语修饰名词construction，表示“不同寻常的建筑”。故填unusual。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：这个著名的景点，鱼嘴，连同另外两个重要的部分，即飞沙堰和宝平口，被科学地设计来控制全年的水流。修饰被动结构中的动词过去分词designed应用副词。故填scientifically。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：都江堰被联合国教科文组织认定为世界文化遗产，2000多年来一直在灌溉农田，防止洪水。分析可知，非谓语动词recognize和主语之间是被动关系，用其过去分词作状语。句首字母大写，故填Recognized。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Taylor opened her sleepy eyes and looked out the window at the foggy field below. “NO!” she cried, now fully awake. Buttermilk, the cow, was in Mama’s daisy(雏菊) field.
I must have forgotten to fasten the gate last night, Taylor thought as she pulled a sweatshirt over her head. Mama was planning to sell daisy bouquets at the fair next week. But Buttermilk was eating the flowers.
Taylor hurried outside and grabbed the lead rope hanging on the porch. “Why can’t you stay in the field ” she shouted at Buttermilk as she headed across the yard to the daisy field.
Buttermilk stood nipping (啃咬) tender flowers off their stems. Taylor leaped to her feet and rushed to the cow. Angry and anxious, she thought to herself: “When I grow up, I’ll be an artist and paint pictures all day. I’ll never own a cow. Too much trouble.”
Just as Taylor was about to snap the lead rope onto Buttermilk’s collar, the family dog, Red, rounded the corner of the house. The cow couldn’t stand Red.
Buttermilk took off, tearing through the daisies and across the yard. She finally ran through the open gate and into the field.
“Thank goodness!” Taylor said as she closed the gate and secured the latch (门栓).
She turned to look at the flower garden. Most of the daisies were either eaten or crushed.
Mama came out of the house. “What’s going on ” she asked. She looked sadly at her garden.
“I forgot to latch the gate,” Taylor said.“ I’m so sorry.”
“I know you are.” Mama sighed and gave Taylor a hug. “You learned an important lesson today.”
Taylor’s heart was heavy as she went back into the house. She had to think of a way to make it up to her mother.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
A painting on the wall caught Taylor’s eye. “That’s it,” she whispered. Taylor raced upstairs. She grabbed her art supplies, sat down at her desk and looked out of the window at the remaining daisies below. As her brush moved smoothly across the paper, daisies came alive. Totally lost in painting, Taylor made one painting after another. To keep it a secret, every day Taylor locked herself in her room, committed to painting more, which Buttermilk couldn't eat any more. Of course, never had she forgotten to lock the gate since then. By the end of the week, she had completed two dozen paintings. Appreciating her great masterpieces, she couldn't contain her excitement, jumping and clapping, “I made it.”
Paragraph 2:
On the morning of the fair, Taylor said, “Mama, I have a surprise for you upstairs.” Out hurried Taylor, who exclaimed at the top of her lung excitedly. Mama managed a weak smile. "Really Let's see it". Instantly they reached Taylor's bedroom, Taylor opened the door. What greeted them were daisy paintings everywhere, bright and cheerful in the morning light. "Wow," said Mama, unable to utter more words. "Do you think anyone will buy them, Mama ""Oh, yes, sweetie. I'm sure they will. And you have a better lesson than I expected." Mama smiled.
