So many well-fed cats have achieved fame in today’s world of social media that it is difficult to imagine a time when the funny behavior of cats went largely unrecorded. Fortunately, creative types have long seemed to enjoy their company and some past literary greats were only too happy to put pen to paper in celebration of their favourite cats.
Dr Samuel Johnson, is best remembered today for compiling (编纂) the first modern English Dictionary. The entry for cats is hardly flattering: “A domestic animal that catches mice, commonly considered by naturalists the lowest order of the lionlike species.” Yet, Johnson is known to have been devoted to his own pets, particularly Hodge, whom he once famously described as “a very fine cat indeed”.
During the Bronte sisters’ childhood, the three famous 19th-century novelists enjoyed the company of a black cat, named Tom. Charlotte included a description of a pet in Jane Eyre, while Emily wrote an essay in French in praise of cats entitled Le Chat. The title character of Anne’s first novel, Agnes Grey, decides her future husband is the man for her when he rescues a cat.
Edgar Allan Poe’s story, The Black Cat, is so vivid in its description of animal cruelty that it is difficult to imagine its author as an animal lover. Yet, in real life Allan and his cat Catterina were so obviously devoted to each other that, in 1849, they passed away at the exact same moment even though they were many miles apart.
Cats appear in some of the US humorist and novelist’s best-known works such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Twain’s favourite cat was Bambino, whom he taught to switch off the lamp at night and took great delight in having it show off this party trick when visitors came to the house.
In the early 1940s, Hemingway moved to Cuba. Boise became the author’s constant companion. Hemingway later featured a cat of the same name in his novel, Islands in the Stream, which shared many characteristics of his real-life cat including a fondness for hunting fruit rats.
4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The majority of people recorded their pet cats.
B. Some past creative people liked cats and wrote about them.
C. Most of the funny behavior of cats was not recorded.
D. Modern people like to show off their cats on social media.
5. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2
A. The cat in the entry is vividly described.
B. The description makes the cat attractive.
C. The definition of the cat is objective.
D. The entry for the cat is eye-catching.
6. How was the cat described in the story The Black Cat
A. Devoted. B. Adorable. C. Merciless. D. Reliable.
7. What did the past literary greats mentioned have in common
A. They enjoyed the company of their pet cats.
B. They took great delight in showing off their cats.
C. They named the cats in their works after their pet cats.
D. They achieved fame because of the cats they wrote about.

The world’s longest cave system is an enormous network of 420 miles of twists and turns, with limestone (石灰岩) falling from the ceilings in drops.
Mammoth Cave National Park preserves this unique and historical natural wonder. As large as the limestone cave system is, park officials, estimate there may be another 600 miles of cave passageways that have yet to be explored. The incredible rock formations have resulted in the park being recognized as a World Heritage Site, thanks to its extraordinary size and scientific importance –– making it one of only 13 natural US sites with that title.
The caves were created naturally by the process of limestone wearing away. Rain and rivers slowly break down and shape soft limestone, which creates the vast underground network. Not only are they an amazing destination to visit, but the system also provides drinking water for roughly 40% of the US population, and they’re of historical significance too.
The caves act as a time capsule that preserves over 5,000 years of human history — and the caves’ first explorers were Native Americans, who mined the upper levels of Mammoth Cave. Thanks to the cave system’s atmosphere and natural protection from any kind of human disturbance, the archaeological (考古的) sites have been left in great shape.
Mammoth Cave was established as a national park thanks to strong local support. Back in the 1920s, Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work created the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission in 1925 to survey proposed park sites, including the caves. After years of work acquiring the land for the park, as well as building roads, trails (小径), and public facilities, Mammoth Cave National Park was established on July 1, 1941. The park now receives around 2 million visitors a year, with roughly a quarter taking a tour of the caves –– everything from a cultural tour to the more adventurous climbing tours on offer. The cave supports more than 130 wildlife species, such as the eyeless cavefish, which has adapted to the lightless environment by no longer growing eyes, and the cave crayfish.
8. What has made Mammoth Cave National Park a World Heritage Site
A. The wildlife species. B. The rock formations.
C. The cave passageways. D. The scientific discovery.
9. Why are the caves of historical value
A. They are an amazing destination to visit.
B. They were first explored by Native Americans.
C. They provide drinking water for the Americans.
D. They preserve human history of over 5000 years.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. It took a lot of work to establish the park.
B. Local people donated the land for the park.
C. Around 2 million people visit the caves annually.
D. The site of the park was decided by the secretary.
11. What can be the best title of the passage
A. Taking cultural and adventurous tours
B. Preserving a unique and historical wonder
C. Exploring the world’s longest cave system
D. Establishing Mammoth Cave National Park

When he moved from South Africa to New York City, Norman Rosenthal noticed he felt more depressed during the cold, short days of the city’s winters than he had in his home country.
“It was an illness hiding in plain sight because people said ‘well that’s how everyone feels in winter.’ They didn’t see it as treatable,” says Rosenthal, a doctor at Georgetown Medical School.
In 1984, he published the first paper to scientifically name the winter blues: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also called seasonal depression, was a type of depression brought on by the dark days of winter. Following studies have found that this form of depression varies by geography. And, surprisingly, about 10 percent of patients suffering from SAD have symptoms (症状) in the summertime instead.
“It’s fairly accepted that the cause is a short photo-period — the number of hours from dawn to dusk,” says Kelly Rohan, a psychologist at the University of Vermont who specializes in the disorder. “It’s the strongest predictor of when the symptoms begin.”
But why exactly, does less daylight seem to make some people clinically depressed “That’s the million-dollar question,” says Rohan. One leading theory is that the change in daylight interrupts our bodies’ release of a chemical element, which the brain releases every night to promote sleep. That is to say, there is a natural biological clock in our body controlling when we sleep and wake. Our clocks are reminded by morning light, but as the supply of daylight decreases in winter, the chemical element may be released later and wear off later, the theory suggests. That means, “that alarm clock might be going off in the morning, but the body is still in a state of biological night,” says Rohan. Even given that theory, she says it’s still unclear why the interrupted biological clock can lead to depression, instead of just feeling worn out.
For those who think they may be experiencing SAD, experts say a professional diagnosis (诊断) is a vital first step toward treatment.
12. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A story collection. B. A science magazine.
C. A health proposal. D. An academic paper.
13. Why did Rosenthal feel more depressed in New York in winter
A. Because he missed his home.
B. Because the days there are shorter.
C. Because he caught a bad cold.
D. Because he had a hidden illness.
14. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. The cause. B. The disorder.
C. The short photo-period. D. The number of hours.
15. What can we learn about SAD from the text
A. SAD patients just feel tired out.
B. Everyone suffers from it in winter.
C. SAD patients are less likely to be cured.
D. It’s probably caused by interrupted biological clock.

The day I heard that the Rainbow Bookstore was closing after fifty years of business, I was heartbroken. The bookstore was a place where anyone in the neighborhood could drop in and connect through their love of books.
When I hurried to the store, I saw the books were being packed into boxes. Sighing deeply, the store’s elderly owner, Casey, told me how it was becoming difficult to run an independent bookstore. Most young people preferred reading e-books on tablets. Customers were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts. I tried to think of some words of sympathy, but I had to admit that the Rainbow Bookstore couldn’t stay in business much longer.
Childhood memories came flooding back. A bunch of us kids would frequently drop by the store after school, looking at the new books, or just chatting with old Casey. He knew every book in the store and would always pick the perfect one for us. We spent hours reading, seated on the store’s old, but comfortable furniture. Casey encouraged us to share our ideas and comments on the books by writing them on a large board in one corner of the store.
When I left the bookstore, it was becoming cold and dark outside. I turned to wave goodbye to Casey, but both he and his bookstore were already hidden in a thick mist. It made me realize that the bookstore and all that old Casey had given to the community could soon disappear for good.
A few months later, I was back in the neighborhood from my vacation and was surprised to see that the Rainbow Bookstore was still there and open for business. Its old brick outside hadn’t changed, but inside it was like a different world. Clearly, the Rainbow Bookstore was in good and creative hands.
I was told that the community had decided to work together on a campaign to save the Rainbow Bookstore. The campaign had been led by Jennifer Oakley, a saleswoman who had grown up in the neighborhood and who was helping Casey run the bookstore.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With Jennifer’s help, the bookstore was being turned into a different place.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I suddenly saw Casey, who was reading readers’ comments on the big screen, and joined him.

So many well-fed cats have achieved fame in today’s world of social media that it is difficult to imagine a time when the funny behavior of cats went largely unrecorded. Fortunately, creative types have long seemed to enjoy their company and some past literary greats were only too happy to put pen to paper in celebration of their favourite cats.
Dr Samuel Johnson, is best remembered today for compiling (编纂) the first modern English Dictionary. The entry for cats is hardly flattering: “A domestic animal that catches mice, commonly considered by naturalists the lowest order of the lionlike species.” Yet, Johnson is known to have been devoted to his own pets, particularly Hodge, whom he once famously described as “a very fine cat indeed”.
During the Bronte sisters’ childhood, the three famous 19th-century novelists enjoyed the company of a black cat, named Tom. Charlotte included a description of a pet in Jane Eyre, while Emily wrote an essay in French in praise of cats entitled Le Chat. The title character of Anne’s first novel, Agnes Grey, decides her future husband is the man for her when he rescues a cat.
Edgar Allan Poe’s story, The Black Cat, is so vivid in its description of animal cruelty that it is difficult to imagine its author as an animal lover. Yet, in real life Allan and his cat Catterina were so obviously devoted to each other that, in 1849, they passed away at the exact same moment even though they were many miles apart.
Cats appear in some of the US humorist and novelist’s best-known works such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Twain’s favourite cat was Bambino, whom he taught to switch off the lamp at night and took great delight in having it show off this party trick when visitors came to the house.
In the early 1940s, Hemingway moved to Cuba. Boise became the author’s constant companion. Hemingway later featured a cat of the same name in his novel, Islands in the Stream, which shared many characteristics of his real-life cat including a fondness for hunting fruit rats.
4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The majority of people recorded their pet cats.
B. Some past creative people liked cats and wrote about them.
C. Most of the funny behavior of cats was not recorded.
D. Modern people like to show off their cats on social media.
5. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2
A. The cat in the entry is vividly described.
B. The description makes the cat attractive.
C. The definition of the cat is objective.
D. The entry for the cat is eye-catching.
6. How was the cat described in the story The Black Cat
A. Devoted. B. Adorable. C. Merciless. D. Reliable.
7. What did the past literary greats mentioned have in common
A. They enjoyed the company of their pet cats.
B. They took great delight in showing off their cats.
C. They named the cats in their works after their pet cats.
D. They achieved fame because of the cats they wrote about.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A

【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了英文世界里的文人与他们的宠物猫之间的逸闻趣事，以及这份对猫的喜爱如何被运用迁移到了他们的创作中。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“So many well-fed cats have achieved fame in today’s world of social media that it is difficult to imagine a time when the funny behavior of cats went largely unrecorded. Fortunately, creative types have long seemed to enjoy their company and some past literary greats were only too happy to put pen to paper in celebration of their favourite cats.(在今天的社交媒体世界里，有这么多喂得很好的猫出名了，很难想象猫的有趣行为在很大程度上没有被记录下来的时代。幸运的是，有创造力的人似乎长期以来都很喜欢猫的陪伴，一些过去的文学大师非常乐意为他们最喜欢的猫动笔庆祝)”可知，本段主要讲述了过去一些有创造力的人喜欢猫，并写关于猫的文章。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线后文“A domestic animal that catches mice, commonly considered by naturalists the lowest order of the lionlike species.(一种捕捉老鼠的家养动物，博物学家通常认为是类狮子动物中最低阶的一种)”可知，这是对猫的定义，这个描述是客观的，所以划线句子应是和C项“这个描述是客观的”相近。故选C项。

【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Edgar Allan Poe’s story, The Black Cat, is so vivid in its description of animal cruelty that it is difficult to imagine its author as an animal lover.(埃德加·爱伦·坡的小说《黑猫》对虐待动物的描写如此生动，以至于很难想象作者是一个动物爱好者)”，第五段中“Twain’s favourite cat was Bambino, whom he taught to switch off the lamp at night and took great delight in having it show off this party trick when visitors came to the house.(吐温最喜欢的猫是班比诺，他教它在晚上关掉灯，并非常高兴地让它在客人来访时炫耀这个聚会技巧)”以及最后一段“Hemingway later featured a cat of the same name in his novel, Islands in the Stream, which shared many characteristics of his real-life cat including a fondness for hunting fruit rats.(海明威后来在他的小说《溪中的岛屿》中描绘了一只同名的猫，这只猫和他现实生活中的猫有很多相似之处，包括喜欢捕食果鼠)”可知，这些文人的共同特质是：喜欢和宠物猫在一起。故选A项。
C
The world’s longest cave system is an enormous network of 420 miles of twists and turns, with limestone (石灰岩) falling from the ceilings in drops.
Mammoth Cave National Park preserves this unique and historical natural wonder. As large as the limestone cave system is, park officials, estimate there may be another 600 miles of cave passageways that have yet to be explored. The incredible rock formations have resulted in the park being recognized as a World Heritage Site, thanks to its extraordinary size and scientific importance –– making it one of only 13 natural US sites with that title.
The caves were created naturally by the process of limestone wearing away. Rain and rivers slowly break down and shape soft limestone, which creates the vast underground network. Not only are they an amazing destination to visit, but the system also provides drinking water for roughly 40% of the US population, and they’re of historical significance too.
The caves act as a time capsule that preserves over 5,000 years of human history — and the caves’ first explorers were Native Americans, who mined the upper levels of Mammoth Cave. Thanks to the cave system’s atmosphere and natural protection from any kind of human disturbance, the archaeological (考古的) sites have been left in great shape.
Mammoth Cave was established as a national park thanks to strong local support. Back in the 1920s, Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work created the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission in 1925 to survey proposed park sites, including the caves. After years of work acquiring the land for the park, as well as building roads, trails (小径), and public facilities, Mammoth Cave National Park was established on July 1, 1941. The park now receives around 2 million visitors a year, with roughly a quarter taking a tour of the caves –– everything from a cultural tour to the more adventurous climbing tours on offer. The cave supports more than 130 wildlife species, such as the eyeless cavefish, which has adapted to the lightless environment by no longer growing eyes, and the cave crayfish.
8. What has made Mammoth Cave National Park a World Heritage Site
A. The wildlife species. B. The rock formations.
C. The cave passageways. D. The scientific discovery.
9. Why are the caves of historical value
A. They are an amazing destination to visit.
B. They were first explored by Native Americans.
C. They provide drinking water for the Americans.
D. They preserve human history of over 5000 years.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. It took a lot of work to establish the park.
B. Local people donated the land for the park.
C. Around 2 million people visit the caves annually.
D. The site of the park was decided by the secretary.
11. What can be the best title of the passage
A. Taking cultural and adventurous tours
B. Preserving a unique and historical wonder
C. Exploring the world’s longest cave system
D. Establishing Mammoth Cave National Park
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“The caves act as a time capsule that preserves over 5,000 years of human history — and the caves’ first explorers were Native Americans, who mined the upper levels of Mammoth Cave.(这些洞穴就像一个时间胶囊，保存了5000多年的人类历史——洞穴的第一批探险者是美洲原住民，他们在猛犸洞的上层开采。) ”可知，这些洞穴具有历史价值的原因是它们保存着5000多年的人类历史，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Back in the 1920s, Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work created the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission in 1925 to survey proposed park sites, including the caves. After years of work acquiring the land for the park, as well as building roads, trails (小径), and public facilities, Mammoth Cave National Park was established on July 1, 1941.(早在20世纪20年代，内政部长Hubert Work于1925年成立了南阿巴拉契亚国家公园委员会，负责调查包括洞穴在内的拟建公园地点。经过多年的努力，获得了公园的土地，并修建了道路、步道和公共设施，猛犸洞国家公园于1941年7月1日成立。)”可以推断，建立这个公园花了大量的工作。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文，尤其是第一段的“The world’s longest cave system is an enormous network of 420 miles of twists and turns, with limestone (石灰岩) falling from the ceilings in drops.(世界上最长的洞穴系统是一个巨大的网络，长达420英里，蜿蜒曲折，石灰岩从天花板上滴落下来。)”和第二段的“Mammoth Cave National Park preserves this unique and historical natural wonder. As large as the limestone cave system is, park officials, estimate there may be another 600 miles of cave passageways that have yet to be explored. The incredible rock formations have resulted in the park being recognized as a World Heritage Site, thanks to its extraordinary size and scientific importance –– making it one of only 13 natural US sites with that title.(猛犸洞国家公园保留了这个独特的历史自然奇观。与石灰岩洞穴系统一样大，公园官员估计，可能还有600英里的洞穴通道尚未被探索。由于其非凡的规模和科学重要性，令人难以置信的岩层使该公园被认定为世界遗产，使其成为美国仅有的13个拥有该称号的自然遗址之一。)”及最后一段的“Mammoth Cave was established as a national park thanks to strong local support. Back in the 1920s, Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work created the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission in 1925 to survey proposed park sites, including the caves. After years of work acquiring the land for the park, as well as building roads, trails (小径), and public facilities, Mammoth Cave National Park was established on July 1, 1941.(在当地的大力支持下，猛犸洞被建立为国家公园。早在20世纪20年代，内政部长休伯特·沃克于1925年成立了南阿巴拉契亚国家公园委员会，负责调查包括洞穴在内的拟建公园地点。经过多年为公园争取土地，以及修建道路、步道和公共设施的工作，猛犸洞国家公园于1941年7月1日成立。)”可知，前两段介绍猛犸洞国家公园的石灰岩洞穴系统的自然奇观的形成过程和历史、文化意义，最后一段介绍了政府为开发这个国家公园做出的努力与此公园未来的发展，因此本文主要讲的是猛犸洞国家公园的石灰岩洞穴系统的自然奇观的形成过程和历史、文化意义，以及政府为开发这个国家公园、保护自然奇观做出的努力，因此最好的题目是C选项“Exploring the world’s longest cave system(探索世界上最长的洞穴系统)”，故选C。
D
When he moved from South Africa to New York City, Norman Rosenthal noticed he felt more depressed during the cold, short days of the city’s winters than he had in his home country.
“It was an illness hiding in plain sight because people said ‘well that’s how everyone feels in winter.’ They didn’t see it as treatable,” says Rosenthal, a doctor at Georgetown Medical School.
In 1984, he published the first paper to scientifically name the winter blues: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also called seasonal depression, was a type of depression brought on by the dark days of winter. Following studies have found that this form of depression varies by geography. And, surprisingly, about 10 percent of patients suffering from SAD have symptoms (症状) in the summertime instead.
“It’s fairly accepted that the cause is a short photo-period — the number of hours from dawn to dusk,” says Kelly Rohan, a psychologist at the University of Vermont who specializes in the disorder. “It’s the strongest predictor of when the symptoms begin.”
But why, exactly, does less daylight seem to make some people clinically depressed “That’s the million-dollar question,” says Rohan. One leading theory is that the change in daylight interrupts our bodies’ release of a chemical element, which the brain releases every night to promote sleep. That is to say, there is a natural biological clock in our body controlling when we sleep and wake. Our clocks are reminded by morning light, but as the supply of daylight decreases in winter, the chemical element may be released later and wear off later, the theory suggests. That means, “that alarm clock might be going off in the morning, but the body is still in a state of biological night,” says Rohan. Even given that theory, she says it’s still unclear why the interrupted biological clock can lead to depression, instead of just feeling worn out.
For those who think they may be experiencing SAD, experts say a professional diagnosis (诊断) is a vital first step toward treatment.
12. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A story collection. B. A science magazine.
C. A health proposal. D. An academic paper.
13. Why did Rosenthal feel more depressed in New York in winter
A. Because he missed his home.
B. Because the days there are shorter.
C. Because he caught a bad cold.
D. Because he had a hidden illness.
14. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. The cause. B. The disorder.
C. The short photo-period. D. The number of hours.
15. What can we learn about SAD from the text
A. SAD patients just feel tired out.
B. Everyone suffers from it in winter.
C. SAD patients are less likely to be cured.
D. It’s probably caused by interrupted biological clock.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对季节性情感障碍（SAD）及其可能的形成原因进行了介绍。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In 1984, he published the first paper to scientifically name the winter blues: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also called seasonal depression, was a type of depression brought on by the dark days of winter. Following studies have found that this form of depression varies by geography. And, surprisingly, about 10 percent of patients suffering from SAD have symptoms (症状) in the summertime instead.(1984年，他发表了第一篇论文，科学地命名了冬季抑郁症：季节性情感障碍（SAD），也称为季节性抑郁症，是一种由冬季黑暗的日子引起的抑郁症。随后的研究发现，这种形式的抑郁症因地理位置而异。令人惊讶的是，大约10%的SAD患者在夏季出现症状。)”可知，这篇文章有可能来自一本科学杂志。故选B。

细节理解题。根据第一段“When he moved from South Africa to New York City, Norman Rosenthal noticed he felt more depressed during the cold, short days of the city’s winters than he had in his home country.(当诺曼·罗森塔尔从南非搬到纽约时，他注意到，在这座城市冬季寒冷而短暂日子里，他比在自己的祖国更感到沮丧。)”和第四段第一句中的“It’s fairly accepted that the cause is a short photo-period — the number of hours from dawn to dusk(人们普遍认为，造成这种现象的原因是短暂的光周期——从黎明到黄昏的几个小时)”可知，罗森塔尔在纽约的冬天会感到更沮丧是因为那里的白天更短。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句中的“It’s fairly accepted that the cause is a short photo-period — the number of hours from dawn to dusk(人们普遍认为，造成这种现象的原因是短暂的光周期——从黎明到黄昏的几个小时)”可知，此处是指短暂的光周期是症状开始的最有力的预测指标，所以it是指“短暂的光周期”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第三句和第四句“One leading theory is that the change in daylight interrupts our bodies’ release of a chemical element, which the brain releases every night to promote sleep. That is to say, there is a natural biological clock in our body controlling when we sleep and wake.(一种主流理论认为，日光的变化会干扰我们身体释放一种化学元素，而大脑每天晚上都会释放这种化学元素来促进睡眠。也就是说，我们的身体里有一个自然的生物钟来控制我们什么时候睡觉，什么时候醒来。)”可知，季节性情感障碍可能是由被干扰的生物钟引起的。故选D。

根据后文“Alongside that, you must also know what the purpose of your life is, and what you intend to do with your life.(除此之外，你还必须知道你生活的目的是什么，你打算怎么处理生活。)”可知，此处强调，除了要知道什么是对，什么是错，还必须要知道生活的目的，即对设空处的补充。E选项“To have integrity, you must clearly know what is right and wrong.(要有诚信，你必须清楚地知道什么是对，什么是错。)”指出要有诚信，你必须清楚地知道什么是对，什么是错。后文中that指代“你必须清楚地知道什么是对，什么是错”的事实。故E选项中引起下文，符合语境。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据本段段旨“Define Your Values Clearly(明确你的价值观)”以及前文“ You must acknowledge them as you go further in life. (当你在生活中走得更远时，你必须承认它们。)”可知，此处强调的是发展和保持诚信的重要方法是要明确自己的价值观。G选项“No matter what happens, you will never go against your core values.(无论发生什么，你都不会违背你的核心价值观。)”中的core values与前文呼应。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据本段段旨“Analyze Each and Every Choice(分析每一个选择)”以及后文“Practicing integrity means making the right decision no matter what. Some seemingly right decisions that we make in life could be disastrous for some.(正直意味着无论如何都要做出正确的决定。我们在生活中做出的一些看似正确的决定对某些人来说可能是灾难性的。)”可知此处强调在某种情况下人们不一定能保持正义，但作者认为仍然要坚持自己的选择。B选项“Always remember that your choices define you ultimately.(永远记住，你的选择最终定义了你。)”引起下文，强调坚持自己的选择，同时也与段旨呼应。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据本段段旨“Apply Your Ethics In The World(把你的道德观运用到世界上)”可知，本段主要讲述的是在生活中运用自己的道德观。F选项“Always find ways to apply your ethics and morals in everyday life.(总是想办法在日常生活中运用你的伦理道德。)”与段旨呼应。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Having integrity also means more than being consistent.(正直也不仅仅意味着始终如一。)”以及后文“We must not always do what comes naturally to us because it is our nature to shy away from difficulties. (我们不能总是随遇而安，因为逃避困难是我们的天性。)”可知，我们不必永远随遇而安，因为畏难是人类的天性，故而可推测空中句应为我们需要敢于面对困难。A选项“Sometimes we have to face the unavoidable.(有时候我们不得不面对不可避免的事情。)”符合语境。故选A。

第二节 (满分20分)
57. 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。
The day I heard that the Rainbow Bookstore was closing after fifty years of business, I was heartbroken. The bookstore was a place where anyone in the neighborhood could drop in and connect through their love of books.
When I hurried to the store, I saw the books were being packed into boxes. Sighing deeply, the store’s elderly owner, Casey, told me how it was becoming difficult to run an independent bookstore. Most young people preferred reading e-books on tablets. Customers were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts. I tried to think of some words of sympathy, but I had to admit that the Rainbow Bookstore couldn’t stay in business much longer.
Childhood memories came flooding back. A bunch of us kids would frequently drop by the store after school, looking at the new books, or just chatting with old Casey. He knew every book in the store and would always pick the perfect one for us. We spent hours reading, seated on the store’s old, but comfortable furniture. Casey encouraged us to share our ideas and comments on the books by writing them on a large board in one corner of the store.
When I left the bookstore, it was becoming cold and dark outside. I turned to wave goodbye to Casey, but both he and his bookstore were already hidden in a thick mist. It made me realize that the bookstore and all that old Casey had given to the community could soon disappear for good.
A few months later, I was back in the neighborhood from my vacation and was surprised to see that the Rainbow Bookstore was still there and open for business. Its old brick outside hadn’t changed, but inside it was like a different world. Clearly, the Rainbow Bookstore was in good and creative hands.
I was told that the community had decided to work together on a campaign to save the Rainbow Bookstore. The campaign had been led by Jennifer Oakley, a saleswoman who had grown up in the neighborhood and who was helping Casey run the bookstore.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With Jennifer’s help, the bookstore was being turned into a different place.

I suddenly saw Casey, who was reading readers’ comments on the big screen, and joined him.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】官方范文
With Jennifer’s help, the bookstore was being turned into a different place. In one area, a book reading was being delivered. Nearby, customers were pouring over shelves selling stationery, posters and other best-seller-themed gifts. The large board in the corner had been replaced by a big screen, where customers’ comments on the month’s best-seller were being displayed. It also became a place for literature-loving members to get together to participate in various community events, where people could share an experience that couldn’t be downloaded.
I suddenly saw Casey, who was reading readers’ comments on the big screen, and joined him. “Well, as you can see, business knowledge combined with creativity has brought my humble bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so pleased to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here.” Casey said with emotion, tears welling up in his eyes. Patting his shoulder, I felt truly lucky for both Casey and myself to still have the bookstore in the neighborhood to provide people with not only knowledge but also precious memories.
