B 18. B 19. C 20. B【解析】【原文】W: Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo are the biggest Sweetest Day cities). But this holiday is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country. Sweetest Day is celebrated to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends and relatives. Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and patients too often felt forgotten, formed in the mind an idea of showing them that they were not. He did this by the distribution of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed them on a Saturday in October. In the years that followed, other residents began to participate in the event, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Day became an occasion for acknowledging others with a kind act or a small remembrance. Soon the idea began spreading to other cities all over the country.第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。ABioluminescence (生物荧光) is to California as the Aurora Borealis is to the Arctic. These events occur when single-celled organisms, known as dinoflagellates (甲藻), suddenly give off a kind of light after being disturbed. They’re most common in spring and into summer, especially during years with a combination of good rains and warm weather. Here are a few tips to help you witness bioluminescence:Monitor Social MediaThe first reports of a bioluminescence event are likely to show upon Instagram and Twitter, which are easily searchable. You can also setup a warning on Google that will round up news coverage.Check With AquariumsSuch institutions as the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey might post updates on their websites or social media feeds, especially if bioluminescence is happening locally.Find a Dark LocationIf bioluminescence is ongoing, try to find a stretch of coast that’s as far away from light as possible. Get out before the moon rises for the best conditions and some experts also suggest that two hours after sunset is a good bet Give your eyes time to adjust and use your flashlight’s red light, which will keep your vision adjusted to the darkness.Track HotspotsThe best displays can vary from night tonight, so check again on social media for updates. The environmental website Treehugger named San Diego one of the world’s eight best places to see bioluminescence. Meanwhile, north of San Francisco at Point Reyes National Seashore, To males Bay is a dependable spot for bioluminescence and you can go out on guided trips with Blue Waters Kayaking.21. What kind of condition is better for witnessing bioluminescence A. Hot dry weather. B. Warm rainy weather.C. Cold rainy weather. D. Cold dry weather.22. What should you stay away from when witnessing bioluminescence A. Water. B. Sunset. C. Darkness. D. Light.23. Where maybe the best place to see bioluminescence A. In La Jolla. B. In Long Beach. C. In San Diego. D. In San Francisco.【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几种可以帮助我们更好地观看生物荧光现象的技巧。21题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“They’re most common in spring and into summer, especially during years with a combination of good rains and warm weather. (它们在春季和夏季最常见，尤其是在雨水充足、天气温暖的年份。)”可知，温暖多雨的天气可以让人们更好地观看到生物荧光现象。故选B。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“If bioluminescence is ongoing, try to find a stretch of coast that’s as far away from light as possible. (如果生物发光正在进行，试着找一段远离光的海岸线。)”可知，在观看生物荧光现象的时候要远离光源。故选D。【23题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中“The environmental website Treehugger named San Diego one of the world’s eight best places to see bioluminescence.(环保网站Treehugger将圣地亚哥评为世界上观看生物发光的八个最佳地点之一。)”可知，环保网站Treehugger将圣地亚哥评为世界上观看生物发光的八个最佳地点之一。故选C。BPeople are often surprised by my fear of blood and needles. Working in a public health unit, I probably have more daily interaction with syringes (注射器) than the average person. But the truth is, having my blood drawn scares me.When I was 9, I had an extremely high temperature. A nurse rudely stuck the needle into my arm, causing a sharp pain. I avoided having blood taken from my body for the next years. A few months before I turned 30, my doctor ordered a blood test as part of my physical exam. I am frightened. Sensing my fear, she gently suggested I see a psychiatrist (精神科医生). “Dr. M helped my other patients with the same fear,” she said.When Dr. M called to set up an appointment, I hesitated. Talking about personal problems to a medically licensed stranger was uncommon in my family. “A psychiatrist ” Mother asked. “He’ll just put you on drugs. Can’t you get over this yourself ” I almost listened. But I went to Dr. M’s clinic finally. “Phobias (恐惧症) are pretty easy to treat,” he said. I wasn’t convinced of his words. But despite my doubts, I was running out of options.We started with basic exposure treatment. I watched videos of blood being drawn every day. As I started to feel more at ease with needles, Dr. M suggested drawing blood. As he gently pressed the needle into my flesh, I felt dizzy and breathed deeply. After a few minutes, I looked at the needle. It wasn’t so bad. I didn’t pass out.I still find it unpleasant getting blood drawn, but thanks to several months of treatment, I’m less scared. I hate to admit it, but Dr. M is right — phobias can be treated. Sometimes, we have to leave our comfort zone and face our fears. And this can lead to freedom in the end.24. What caused the author’s phobia A. Her sensitivity to pains.B. Her bad blood drawing experience.C. Her anxiety about the physical exam.D. Her regular contact with syringes.25. What was the author’s mother’s attitude toward her appointment with Dr. M A. Positive. B. Supportive.C. Negative. D. Objective.26. What can we know about the author’s treatment A. It cost the author a great deal of money.B. It eased the author’s pain totally.C. It centered on watching videos.D. It was smoother than expected.27. Which can be a suitable title for the text A. Bravery brings us a happier lifeB. Walk toward what scares usC. Ups and downs make one strongD. Nurse our mental health carefully【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. B【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者由于小时候的经历，一直害怕抽血，最后在精神医生的帮助下，走出舒适区，直面恐惧，最终摆脱恐惧的故事。24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段前三句话“When I was 9, I had an extremely high temperature. A nurse rudely stuck the needle into my arm, causing a sharp pain. I avoided having blood taken from my body for the next years. (9岁的时候，有一次我发高烧。一个护士粗鲁地把针扎进了我的手臂，引起了一阵剧痛。在接下来的几年里，我就躲避从身体里抽血)”可知，小时候作者糟糕的抽血经历导致了他的恐惧症。故选B。【25题详解】观点态度题。根据第三段第二句话“Talking about personal problems to a medically licensed stranger was uncommon in my family. (在我家里，和一个有行医执照的陌生人谈论个人问题是很罕见的)”以及Mother 所说“He’ll just put you on drugs. Can’t you get over this yourself (他只会给你开些药。难道你自己不能克服吗 )”可推知，作者的母亲不赞成她与M医生的预约。故选C项。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第三句到最后“As he gently pressed the needle into my flesh, I felt dizzy and breathed deeply. After a few minutes, I looked at the needle. It wasn’t so bad. I didn’t pass out. (他轻轻地把针扎进我的肉里，我感到头晕目眩，深深地呼吸着。几分钟后，我看着针。也没那么糟。我没有昏过去。)”以及Dr. M 所说“You’re doing well (你做得很好)”可推知，作者的治疗比他预期的更顺利。故选D。【27题详解】标题判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段倒数最后两句话“Sometimes, we have to leave our comfort zone and face our fears. And this can lead to freedom in the end. (有时候，我们必须走出舒适区，直面恐惧。而这最终会摆脱恐惧)”可知，本文讲述了作者由于小时候的经历，一直害怕抽血，最后在精神医生的帮助下，走出舒适区，直面恐惧，最终摆脱恐惧的故事。所以“走向让我们害怕的东西”适合作本文的标题。故选BCIn a paper published recently in Nature Communications, the authors, including experts from China’s Tsinghua University, said that most of the current electricity demand in advanced, industrialized nations can be met by some combination of wind and solar power. “Wind and solar could meet more than 80 percent of demand in many places without crazy amounts of storage or additional generating ability,which is the critical point (临界点),”said co-author Steve Davis,UCI professor of Earth system science,“if we want to have a zero-carbon emission (排放) future without using fossil energy resources”.The team analyzed 39 years’ worth of hourly energy demand data from 42 major countries to evaluate the adequacy of wind and solar power resources to serve their needs. They found that a full shift to sustainable power resources can be easier for lower-latitude (低纬度的) countries,which can rely on solar power availability throughout the year. The researchers highlighted Germany as an example of a relatively smaller country, in terms of land mass, at higher latitude which will make it more challenging to meet its electricity needs with wind and solar resources.“Historic data show that countries which are farther from the equator (赤道) can occasionally experience periods during which there is very limited solar and wind power availability,” said lead author Dan Tong, assistant professor of Earth system science at Tsinghua University. “One recent occurrence of this phenomenon in Germany lasted for two weeks, forcing Germans to turn to dispatchable (可调度的) generation,which in many cases is provided by fossil fuel-burning plants.” Among the approaches the researchers suggested to alleviate this problem are building up generating capacity, developing long-term storage capabilities and pooling resources of multiple nations on a continental land mass to make the burden lighter to a certain country.“Europe provides a good example to help people produce net-zero carbon electricity,” said Tong. “A lot of consistency and reliability could be provided by a system that includes solar resources from Spain, Italy and Greece with plentiful wind available in the Netherlands, Denmark and the Baltic region.”28. What does Steve Davis imply by saying “critical point” A. Carbon emission will be reduced by using wind and solar power.B. Electricity demand will be beyond human control in the future.C. Electricity generating can be replaced by wind and solar power.D Fossil energy will be used with zero-carbon emissions in the future.29. What can make a country rely on solar power all the year A. Having a large land of its own. B. Having a small population.C. Being developed in all respects. D. Being located near the equator.30. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 3 mean A. Ease. B. Stress. C. Accept. D. Arrange.31. What can we learn from Tong’s words in the last paragraph A. People can solve increasing energy demand in the future like Europe.B. Most countries in Europe have a lot of solar resources to make electricity.C. Europe has done a good job in producing net-zero carbon electricity.D. Countries like Spain, Italy and Greece have plenty wind resources.【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。要想实现不使用化石能源的情况下实现零碳排放的未来，我们可以依靠风能和太阳能，而且纬度越低，全面转向可持续电力资源更容易，甚至可以实现全年都可以依靠太阳能发电。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据首段末句““Wind and solar could meet more than 80 percent of demand in many places without crazy amounts of storage or additional generating ability, which is the critical point (临界点), ”said co-author Steve Davis, UCI professor of Earth system science, “if we want to have a zero-carbon emission (排放) future without using fossil energy resources”. (“风能和太阳能可以满足许多地方80%以上的需求，而不需要大量的存储或额外的发电能力，这是临界点，”UCI地球系统科学教授史蒂夫戴维斯说，“如果我们想要在不使用化石能源的情况下实现零碳排放的未来。”)”可知，史蒂夫戴维斯说临界点意味着可以使用风能和太阳能减少碳排放。故选A。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“They found that a full shift to sustainable power resources can be easier for lower-latitude (低纬度的) countries, which can rely on solar power availability throughout the year. (他们发现，对于纬度较低的国家来说，全面转向可持续电力资源可能更容易，因为这些国家全年都可以依靠太阳能发电。)”可知，纬度越低，全面转向可持续电力资源可能更容易，可以实现全年都可以依靠太阳能发电。所以靠近赤道的国家最有可能全年依赖太阳能发电。故选D。【30题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段末句“Among the approaches the researchers suggested to alleviate this problem are building up generating capacity, developing long-term storage capabilities and pooling resources of multiple nations on a continental land mass to make the burden lighter to a certain country. (研究人员提出的 这一问题的方法包括建立发电能力，发展长期储存能力，以及将多个国家的资源集中在一块大陆上，以减轻某个国家的负担。)”可知，研究人员提出的是为了减轻某个国家的资源负担这一问题。故可推知，划线词和本句中“make the burden lighter”为同义。故选A。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据末段首句““Europe provides a good example to help people produce net-zero carbon electricity,” said Tong. (Tong说:“欧洲提供了一个很好的例子，帮助人们生产净零碳电力。”)”可知，Tong的话说明欧洲在生产净零碳电力方面做得很好。故选C。DOver the past decades, experts have done a considerable amount of research to explore different ways to encourage children’s learning. Especially, there has been a common focus on how physical activity, separated from the learning activities, can improve children’s learning. However, there has been less of a focus aimed at the potential of integrating (合并) physical activity into the learning activities.Researchers from the University of Copenhagen conducted the Basketball Mathematics study at five Danish primary and elementary schools. The main purpose of it was to develop a learning activity that integrates basketball and mathematics and examine how it might affect children’s motivation for mathematics.756 children from 40 different classes participated in the project, where about half of them — once a week for six weeks — had Basketball Mathematics during gym class, while the other half played basketball without mathematics.“During classes with Basketball Mathematics, the children had to collect numbers and perform calculations associated with various basketball exercises. An example could be counting how many times they could sink a basket from three meters away vs at a one-meter distance, and adding up the numbers. Both the math and basketball elements could be adjusted to suit the children’s levels, as well as being adjusted for whether it was addition, multiplication or some other operations that needed to be practiced,” explains Linn Damsgaard, a leading researcher.The results showed that children’s motivation for math integrated with basketball was 16% higher compared to classroom math learning. Children also experienced a 14% increase in self-determination compared with classroom teaching. Meanwhile Basketball Mathematics improved their math confidence.“We are planning to do research to examine whether the Basketball Mathematics model can strengthen performance in mathematics. Once we have the final results, we hope that they will inspire school teachers and principals to prioritize (优先处理) more physical activity and movement in such subjects. Eventually, we hope to succeed in putting these tools into school system and teacher education,” says Associate Professor Jacob Wienecke.32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1 A. To show the advantage of the study.B. To introduce a way to raise math grades.C. To conduct a review of past research.D. To explain the reason for the study.33. What can we learn about the study A. It tailored activities to different kids.B. Kids were divided into 40 groups.C. It required kids to do math after playing basketball.D. Kids couldn’t enjoy basketball in the process.34. What effect does basketball have on the participants A. More motivation for exercise.B. A gain in desire to learn math.C. More confidence in basketball.D. A rise in determination to learn.35. How does Jacob Wienecke expect the study to help educators A. Make math learning easier.B. Inspire students’ math confidence.C. Build physical activity into teaching.D. Notice the benefits of physical exercise.【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项将运动融入教学的研究。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“However, there has been less of a focus aimed at the potential of integrating (合并) physical activity into the learning activities.(然而，人们对将体育活动整合到学习活动中的潜力关注较少)”可知，本段的作用主要是用来说明进行篮球与数学相结合的研究的原因，故选D。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Both the math and basketball elements could be adjusted to suit the children’s levels, as well as being adjusted for whether it was addition, multiplication or some other operations that needed to be practiced,” explains Linn Damsgaard, a leading researcher.(“数学和篮球元素都可以根据孩子们的水平进行调整，也可以根据加法、乘法或其他需要练习的运算进行调整，”首席研究员Linn Damsgaard解释道)”可知，这项研究会为不同的孩子，量身定制不同的活动，故选A。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The results showed that children’s motivation for math integrated with basketball was 16% higher compared to classroom math learning.(结果表明，与课堂数学学习相比，儿童的数学与篮球结合的动机要高16%)”可知，与篮球运动项结合提升了孩子们的数学学习动力，故选B。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Once we have the final results, we hope that they will inspire school teachers and principals to prioritize (优先处理) more physical activity and movement in such subjects. Eventually, we hope to succeed in putting these tools into school system and teacher education(一旦我们有了最终的结果，我们希望它们能激励学校的老师和校长们在这些科目中优先考虑更多的身体活动和运动。最终，我们希望能够成功地将这些工具应用到学校系统和教师教育中)”可知，Jacob Wienecke希望这项研究能够让教育者把运动融入教学中。故选C。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You have been told more than once to gain greater confidence and believe your best days may still lie ahead.

This also reminds you that it’s okay to make mistakes, so you can improve and grow, which helps build self-confidence.(但它表明你仍然可以完成新的事情并从中找到乐趣。这也提醒你，犯错是可以的，所以你可以改进和成长，这有助于建立自信)”中的but可知，空处与下文为转折关系，且下文提到了“完成新的事情”和“犯错”。由此推知，空处陈述犯错之后重新开始很难。C项“Being a beginner again is tough.(再次成为初学者很难)”符合题意，beginner呼应下文accomplish new things。故选C。【38题详解】空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Find a fitness challenge that you need to overcome, create a plan, and then work to meet that goal. Any form of exercise is beneficial for both physical and mental health. (找到你需要克服的健身挑战，制定计划，然后努力实现目标。任何形式的锻炼都有利于身心健康)”可知，本段建议在身体上给自己一些挑战。B项“Challenge yourself physically.(在身体上给自己一些挑战)”符合题意，可以作为主旨句，physically呼应下文的physical。故选B。【39题详解】根据上文“It’s not easy to go out and interact with people as you age.(随着年龄的增长，外出与人互动并不容易)”和下文“Lack of confidence can make socializing a challenge, so it is a good idea to volunteer(缺乏自信会使社交成为一种挑战，做志愿者是个好主意)”可知，上文指出随着年龄的增长与他人互动不容易，下文指出缺乏自信使社交成为挑战。由此推知，空处承上启下，指出没有自信让与他人的互动变得更加困难。G项“And this is even harder when you feel less confident.(当你感到不自信时，这就更难了)”符合题意，this指代上文的“外出与人互动并不容易”这件事，confident与下文confidence呼应。故选G。【40题详解】根据上文“Never be afraid to seek help when you need it.(当你需要帮助时，不要害怕寻求帮助)”再结合空处所处位置推知，此处总结本段，提醒大家不要忘了相互帮助的好处。E项“It’s always a good thing to help each other.(互相帮助总是件好事)”符合题意，help是关键词。故选E。第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Marley Christian found a young koala, next to his dying mother.

Naturally自然地；B. Surprisingly惊讶地；C. Thankfully感激地；D. Strangely奇怪的是。Jon知道为考拉做假足与制作假牙是不一样的，这是自然的，也是当然的。故选A项。【52题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：在完成了Triumph假肢的模型后，他制作了一只粉红色的橡胶靴，这有助于Triumph的自由移动。A. example例子；B. model模板；C. issue问题；D. mark 标记。Jon要为缺少一只脚的Triumph做假足，所以他应是先做了一个Triumph的残肢的模型(model)。故选B项。【53题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意同上题。A. preference偏好；B. memory记忆；C. freedom自由；D. intention打算。根据下文的“Once the boot was _15_, he did a little jump, and then ran around.”可知Jon做的粉色靴子能使Triumph重新拥有活动的自由(freedom)。故选C项。【54题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这是一件看似不可能的事。A. ordinary普通的； B. touching令人感动的； C. imperfect不完美的；D. unlikely不大可能发生的。专业人士都没能为小考拉做一只合适的假足，但是牙医Jon却成功解决了小考拉的问题。这是一个看似不可能的事。故选D项。【55题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：这只靴子一固定在Triumph的残肢上，它就跳了一下，然后四处跑了起来。A. adjusted调整；B. completed完成；C. attached依附，认为；D. confirmed确认。Triumph少了一只脚，所以这只靴子是通过某种方式固定在残肢上的，此处用attached一词最为合适。故选C项。第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Known as the father of hybrid rice, Yuan Longping always considers ____56____ (he) as a farmer.

She made up her mind to find him. Since then she refused to leave the home she grew up in, hoping that her brother would knock on the door one day. Little did Cayley know that her brother, Nick Rhoades, had been longing to do so, but only to walk away at the last minute. But thanks to the TV programme Long Lost Family, the pair have enjoyed an emotional reunion.Cayley’s mum Jacqueline left the family when her daughter was only seven to start a new life in America. Cayley was brought up by her grandmother Victoria, who died in 2001, and she clearly remembered first finding out about her brother Nick. Cayley was quite angry with the fact that was covered up. So she was determined to find her brother no matter what difficulties she would meet with.Many years later, Cayley, her husband, Colin, and their children were still staying in the house where she grew up because she always had hope that one day her brother would knock on the door. Her husband Colin was very understanding and even though they had two other houses to move to, they stayed in the same house. She never gave up hope.Meanwhile, when Nick knew he was adopted, he did ask his parents questions and they told him everything they knew. His adoptive parents were so loving and his mum had adopted hundreds of children. Nick had been one of those lucky kids. He had lived a really very happy childhood. Sadly, when Nick was 18 his adoptive mum died of cancer. After several years, his adoptive father also died. Nick was extremely sad during that period of time. Once again, he became a poor orphan without parents, which led him to make the decision to find his birth mum Jacqueline.Nick had been given his birth certificate (出生证) by his adoptive parents with an address on it.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。Nick and his wife Sandra decided to find his mother’s house.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thankfully, Nick’s sister Cayley and Nick’s wife Sandra both turned to Long Lost Family for help.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 Nick and his wife Sandra decided to find his mother’s house. It felt so strange that Nick knew it was exactly the house when they were approaching it. He had a feeling that he had been living here long long time ago. He was eager to knock at the door, but he stopped all of a sudden. His concern was that he might interrupt his mother. He didn’t want to go into the house directly and told her they were her son and daughter-in-law.Thankfully, Nick’s sister Cayley and Nick’s wife Sandra both turned to Long Lost Family for help. Cayley wanted to find her little brother, and Sandra wanted to help her husband find about his mum. Cayley was asked lots of personal questions. She burst into tears when she knew they were about her brother. When they finally met, Nick knew it was exactly his sister. They were so alike, even their gestures or ways of speaking were the same.

These events occur when single-celled organisms, known as dinoflagellates (甲藻), suddenly give off a kind of light after being disturbed. They’re most common in spring and into summer, especially during years with a combination of good rains and warm weather. Here are a few tips to help you witness bioluminescence:Monitor Social MediaThe first reports of a bioluminescence event are likely to show upon Instagram and Twitter, which are easily searchable. You can also setup a warning on Google that will round up news coverage.Check With AquariumsSuch institutions as the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey might post updates on their websites or social media feeds, especially if bioluminescence is happening locally.Find a Dark LocationIf bioluminescence is ongoing, try to find a stretch of coast that’s as far away from light as possible. Get out before the moon rises for the best conditions and some experts also suggest that two hours after sunset is a good bet Give your eyes time to adjust and use your flashlight’s red light, which will keep your vision adjusted to the darkness.Track HotspotsThe best displays can vary from night tonight, so check again on social media for updates. The environmental website Treehugger named San Diego one of the world’s eight best places to see bioluminescence. Meanwhile, north of San Francisco at Point Reyes National Seashore, To males Bay is a dependable spot for bioluminescence and you can go out on guided trips with Blue Waters Kayaking.21. What kind of condition is better for witnessing bioluminescence A. Hot dry weather. B. Warm rainy weather.C. Cold rainy weather. D. Cold dry weather.22. What should you stay away from when witnessing bioluminescence A. Water. B. Sunset. C. Darkness. D. Light.23. Where maybe the best place to see bioluminescence A. In La Jolla. B. In Long Beach. C. In San Diego. D. In San Francisco.BPeople are often surprised by my fear of blood and needles. Working in a public health unit, I probably have more daily interaction with syringes (注射器) than the average person. But the truth is, having my blood drawn scares me.When I was 9, I had an extremely high temperature. A nurse rudely stuck the needle into my arm, causing a sharp pain. I avoided having blood taken from my body for the next years. A few months before I turned 30, my doctor ordered a blood test as part of my physical exam. I am frightened. Sensing my fear, she gently suggested I see a psychiatrist (精神科医生). “Dr. M helped my other patients with the same fear,” she said.When Dr. M called to set up an appointment I hesitated. Talking about personal problems to a medically licensed stranger was uncommon in my family. “A psychiatrist ” Mother asked. “He’ll just put you on drugs. Can’t you get over this yourself ” I almost listened. But I went to Dr. M’s clinic finally. “Phobias (恐惧症) are pretty easy to treat,” he said. I wasn’t convinced of his words. But despite my doubts, I was running out of options.We started with basic exposure treatment. I watched videos of blood being drawn every day. As I started to feel more at ease with needles, Dr. M suggested drawing blood. As he gently pressed the needle into my flesh, I felt dizzy and breathed deeply. After a few minutes, I looked at the needle. It wasn’t so bad. I didn’t pass out.I still find it unpleasant getting blood drawn, but thanks to several months of treatment, I’m less scared. I hate to admit it, but Dr. M is right — phobias can be treated. Sometimes, we have to leave our comfort zone and face our fears. And this can lead to freedom in the end.24. What caused the author’s phobia A. Her sensitivity to pains.B. Her bad blood drawing experience.C. Her anxiety about the physical exam.D. Her regular contact with syringes.25. What was the author’s mother’s attitude toward her appointment with Dr. M A. Positive. B. Supportive.C. Negative. D. Objective.26. What can we know about the author’s treatment A. It cost the author a great deal of money.B. It eased the author’s pain totally.C. It centered on watching videos.D. It was smoother than expected.27. Which can be a suitable title for the text A. Bravery brings us a happier lifeB. Walk toward what scares usC. Ups and downs make one strongD. Nurse our mental health carefullyCIn a paper published recently in Nature Communications, the authors, including experts from China’s Tsinghua University, said that most of the current electricity demand in advanced, industrialized nations can be met by some combination of wind and solar power. “Wind and solar could meet more than 80 percent of demand in many places without crazy amounts of storage or additional generating ability,which is the critical point (临界点),”said co-author Steve Davis,UCI professor of Earth system science,“if we want to have a zero-carbon emission (排放) future without using fossil energy resources”.The team analyzed 39 years’ worth of hourly energy demand data from 42 major countries to evaluate the adequacy of wind and solar power resources to serve their needs. They found that a full shift to sustainable power resources can be easier for lower-latitude (低纬度的) countries,which can rely on solar power availability throughout the year. The researchers highlighted Germany as an example of a relatively smaller country, in terms of land mass, at higher latitude which will make it more challenging to meet its electricity needs with wind and solar resources.“Historic data show that countries which are farther from the equator (赤道) can occasionally experience periods during which there is very limited solar and wind power availability,” said lead author Dan Tong, assistant professor of Earth system science at Tsinghua University. “One recent occurrence of this phenomenon in Germany lasted for two weeks, forcing Germans to turn to dispatchable (可调度的) generation,which in many cases is provided by fossil fuel-burning plants.” Among the approaches the researchers suggested to alleviate this problem are building up generating capacity, developing long-term storage capabilities and pooling resources of multiple nations on a continental land mass to make the burden lighter to a certain country.“Europe provides a good example to help people produce net-zero carbon electricity,” said Tong. “A lot of consistency and reliability could be provided by a system that includes solar resources from Spain, Italy and Greece with plentiful wind available in the Netherlands, Denmark and the Baltic region.”28. What does Steve Davis imply by saying “critical point” A. Carbon emission will be reduced by using wind and solar power.B. Electricity demand will be beyond human control in the future.C. Electricity generating can be replaced by wind and solar power.D. Fossil energy will be used with zero-carbon emissions in the future.29. What can make a country rely on solar power all the year A. Having a large land of its own. B. Having a small population.C. Being developed in all respects. D. Being located near the equator.30. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 3 mean A. Ease. B. Stress. C. Accept. D. Arrange.31. What can we learn from Tong’s words in the last paragraph A. People can solve increasing energy demand in the future like Europe.B. Most countries in Europe have a lot of solar resources to make electricity.C. Europe has done a good job in producing net-zero carbon electricity.D. Countries like Spain, Italy and Greece have plenty wind resources.DOver the past decades, experts have done a considerable amount of research to explore different ways to encourage children’s learning. Especially, there has been a common focus on how physical activity, separated from the learning activities, can improve children’s learning. However, there has been less of a focus aimed at the potential of integrating (合并) physical activity into the learning activities.Researchers from the University of Copenhagen conducted the Basketball Mathematics study at five Danish primary and elementary schools. The main purpose of it was to develop a learning activity that integrates basketball and mathematics and examine how it might affect children’s motivation for mathematics.756 children from 40 different classes participated in the project, where about half of them — once a week for six weeks — had Basketball Mathematics during gym class, while the other half played basketball without mathematics.“During classes with Basketball Mathematics, the children had to collect numbers and perform calculations associated with various basketball exercises. An example could be counting how many times they could sink a basket from three meters away vs at a one-meter distance, and adding up the numbers. Both the math and basketball elements could be adjusted to suit the children’s levels, as well as being adjusted for whether it was addition, multiplication or some other operations that needed to be practiced,” explains Linn Damsgaard, a leading researcher.The results showed that children’s motivation for math integrated with basketball was 16% higher compared to classroom math learning. Children also experienced a 14% increase in self-determination compared with classroom teaching. Meanwhile Basketball Mathematics improved their math confidence.“We are planning to do research to examine whether the Basketball Mathematics model can strengthen performance in mathematics. Once we have the final results, we hope that they will inspire school teachers and principals to prioritize (优先处理) more physical activity and movement in such subjects. Eventually, we hope to succeed in putting these tools into school system and teacher education,” says Associate Professor Jacob Wienecke.32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1 A. To show the advantage of the study.B. To introduce a way to raise math grades.C. To conduct a review of past research.D. To explain the reason for the study.33. What can we learn about the study A. It tailored activities to different kids.B. Kids were divided into 40 groups.C. It required kids to do math after playing basketball.D. Kids couldn’t enjoy basketball in the process.34. What effect does basketball have on the participants A. More motivation for exercise.B. A gain in desire to learn math.C. More confidence in basketball.D. A rise in determination to learn.35. How does Jacob Wienecke expect the study to help educators A. Make math learning easier.B. Inspire students’ math confidence.C. Build physical activity into teaching.D. Notice the benefits of physical exercise.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You have been told more than once to gain greater confidence and believe your best days may still lie ahead.

Little did Cayley know that her brother, Nick Rhoades, had been longing to do so, but only to walk away at the last minute. But thanks to the TV programme Long Lost Family, the pair have enjoyed an emotional reunion.Cayley’s mum Jacqueline left the family when her daughter was only seven to start a new life in America.
