But the weather is already beginning to change, I’m afraid, and during the night showers will slowly move in from the Atlantic and reach southwest England by early morning. The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with temperatures no lower than fifteen degrees in the south, a little cooler—eleven degrees or so—in the north. And now, let’s move on to the weather forecast for Friday and the weekend. Well, southern Europe will once again get the best of the weekend weather. Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to seventeen degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloud y but mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out, temperatures could rise up to twenty-three degrees.

My husband, Dave, who teaches Botany (植物学), always plants things. He has planted trees anywhere we have lived and is proud to see they are flourishing and providing shade and beauty for whoever lives there.
I also love planting, especially the harvest. But I hate weeding (除草). I remember one of our first gardens in Kansas when I was attacked by the hugest grasshoppers (蚱蜢) I had ever seen while weeding our little garden.
Now, our growing efforts at our new home are vegetables. We are enjoying the garden we have created. It’s large but manageable with daily care. We use methods to minimize weeds. We have the time to keep up with the watering and weeding. I find I don’t hate that anymore.
There is something satisfying about pulling grass, and violets that are growing where we don’t want them, and unnamed weeds that are affecting the growth of what we want. I find that my relationship with gardening is turning into a true romance that has a rosy future.
It’s all about time, environment and attitude. Being in my eighties, I have the time to be patient for results, to enjoy the hope for future harvest, and I have the knowledge that comes from experience. I find a lot to love about growing things and about growing older.

Corcoran, a farming town of California, is slowly sinking(下沉) when drought has forced farmers to pump(用泵抽) amounts of water from the ground. Corcoran is struggling to make sense of the strangest thing: His already suffering town is sinking, ever so gradually, into the ground.
To water its large fields and help feed America, farm operators began in the last century to pump water from underground sources, so much so that the ground has begun to sink. Strangely, signs of this subsidence are nearly out of sight. There are no cracks(裂缝) in the walls of the typical American shops in the town’s center, nor in the streets or fields.
This year’s drought has changed this food-basket of America into a large field of brown dust forcing the government to limit(限制) the use of water by farmers. So Corcoran now finds itself in the middle of a bad circle: With their water supplies limited, farm operators are forced to pump more underground water, which in turn speeds the sinking of the town.
Few locals have spoken out against the problem -- not surprising, since most of them work for the same big agribusinesses pumping up groundwater. “They are afraid that if they speak against them, they might not work there any more,” said Atilano, who has spent years working for one of the country’s biggest cotton producers, J. G. Boswell.
On this summer afternoon, under a heat wave, some people stop to chat under a large wall painting. It describes a clear blue lake surrounded by snow-covered mountain peaks -- for now, a far dream.
28. What does the underlined word “subsidence” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Coming upwards. B. Going down.
C. Becoming dry. D. Growing wide.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The cause of the drought.
B. The development of Corcoran.
C. The reason why Corcoran is in a bad circle.
D. Farm operators’ way of dealing with the drought.
30. Why do few people mention the problem of pumping the underground water
A. It has nothing to do with them. B. They are busy with their work.
C. They consider its effect is small. D. They are afraid of losing their jobs.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of Corcoran
A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Admirable. D. Carefree.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了加州的农业小镇科克伦由于过度抽取地下水，正在缓慢下沉。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“To water its large fields and help feed America, farm operators began in the last century to pump water from underground sources, so much so that the ground has begun to sink.”（为了灌溉大片的农田，帮助美国人吃饭，农场经营者从上个世纪开始从地下水源抽水，以至于地面开始下沉。）及第二句代词“signs of this”可知， 这种迹象就是指前文的地面下沉，故subsidence应表示“沉淀，下沉”。故选B项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段后两句“So Corcoran now finds itself in the middle of a bad circle: With their water supplies limited, farm operators are forced to pump more underground water, which in turn speeds the sinking of the town.”（因此，科克伦现在发现自己陷入了一个恶性循环:由于供水有限，农场经营者被迫抽取更多的地下水，这反过来又加速了城镇的下沉。）可知，本段主要讲干旱迫使政府限制农民的用水，农场经营者不得不从地下抽取更多的水浇灌农场，这反过来又加速了小镇的下沉，即科克伦陷入恶性循环的原因。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“They are afraid that if they speak against them, they might not work there any more”（他们担心，如果他们反对他们，他们可能不能再在那里工作了）可知，很少有人提及抽取地下水带来的问题，是因为他们担心失去自己的工作。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“On this summer afternoon, under a heat wave, some people stop to chat under a large wall painting. It describes a clear blue lake surrounded by snow-covered mountain peaks -- for now, a far dream.”（在这个夏天的下午，在热浪下，一些人停下来在一幅大壁画下聊天。它描绘了一个清澈的蓝色湖泊，周围是白雪覆盖的山峰——现在，这是一个遥远的梦想。）可知，作者认为壁画上的景象还遥不可及，他对科克伦的未来充满担忧。故选A项。
D
Learn a new language with the world’s most-downloaded education app! Duolingo is a fun, free app for learning 40+ languages through quick, bite-sized lessons.
Designed by language experts and loved by hundreds of millions of learners worldwide, Duolingo helps you prepare for real conversations in Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, German, English, and more.
The program is based on crown levels which give you more difficult exercises at higher levels. When the skill is leveled up, the next row of skills is unlocked. The point of the leveling-up design is to allow you to see more challenging content without forcing you to go through it.
With Duolingo, you can enlarge your vocabulary, learn basic grammar structures, and have fun along the way. The app also offers a wide variety of exercises, and you can learn how to pronounce words as well as improve your writing and listening skills. You can learn different languages at the same time, which is really cool. There’s a wide range of languages to choose from.
Duolingo becomes so popular because it’s both fun and effective. And free, of course. But the app also has a paid version called Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, allows for lessons’ downloads to mobile devices, provides chances for members to practise their former (以前的) mistakes and more.
There are a ton of education apps on the market these days, and it’s not easy to stand out. But Duolingo manages to find the winning combination (结合): affordability, simplicity, and originality. But you shouldn’t have unrealistic goals. As long as you don’t expect to become fluent with Duolingo, you’ll find the program very useful.
32. How does Duolingo allow learners to go further when studying
A. By offering all the skills unlocked.
B. By letting them finish leveling-up design.
C. By forcing them to create challenging tasks.
D. By showing them the answers to difficult exercises.
33. What can we know about Duolingo Plus
A. It is completely free. B. It allows mistakes to be viewed again.
C. It includes ads. D. Its lessons are unable to be downloaded.
34. What does the author suggest about using Duolingo
A. Having a test before use. B. Giving up other apps.
C. Setting a goal to become fluent. D. Not completely relying on it.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Duolingo: A Wonderful App B. Duolingo Plus in Use
C. Duolingo: A New Invention D. Tools for Speaking
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款语言学习应用程序——Duolingo。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The point of the leveling-up design is to allow you to see more challenging content without forcing you to go through it.(升级设计的目的是让你看到更具挑战性的内容，而不必强迫你去浏览。)”可知，Duolingo应用程序是通过升级通关模式引领学习者。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第五段“But the app also has a paid version called Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, allows for lessons’ downloads to mobile devices, provides chances for members to practise their former(以前的) mistakes and more.(但该应用程序也有一个名为Duolingo Plus的付费版本，它可以删除广告，允许将课程下载到移动设备上，为会员提供练习以前错误的机会等等。)”可知，Duolingo Plus可以让学习者练习之前的错误。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But you shouldn’t have unrealistic goals. As long as you don’t expect to become fluent with Duolingo, you’ll find the program very useful.(但你不应该有不切实际的目标。只要你不想使用Duolingo就能让你语言变得很流利，你就会发现这个程序非常有用。)”可知，Duolingo并不能让学者学习的语言变得很流利，所以作者建议语言学习不能完全依赖于Duolingo应用程序。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文,尤其是第一段“Learn a new language with the world’s most-downloaded education app! Duolingo is a fun, free app for learning 40+ languages through quick, bite-sized lessons.(使用世界上下载量最大的教育应用程序学习一门新语言！Duolingo是一款有趣的免费应用程序，可通过快速、小规模的课程学习40多种语言。)”可知，文章介绍了一款语言学习应用程序——Duolingo，所以A项Duolingo: A Wonderful App(Duolingo:一款出色的应用程序)符合文意。故选A项。

67. 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。
Yesterday I was in a bad mood because of losing my job. I tried to find something else to do to make myself feel better. I went shopping for a pair of trainers to replace the old pair I have been wearing for too long. I would have replaced them months ago but I am one of those women who hate shopping. I hate the crowds and the heat in the shops but mostly I hate the waiting line.
I was happy as I found my trainers very quickly, but my happiness soon disappeared when I found myself in a very long line for the payment.
This line was long and snaking around a corner. I do hate waiting but I find the best way to pass the time is to talk to the person behind me.
So I turned around and told the woman behind me that the line was looking very long and joked that I hoped we could all hang on.
She laughed and agreed. I caught an English accent(口音)as she spoke, so being a person from Liverpool in England myself, I immediately asked her where she was from.
She rewarded me with a sharp look and said, “England. ”
Immediately I realized that I had accidentally offended(冒犯)her—she was black and thought I was referring to her colour. I told her I was from Liverpool and had noticed her English accent.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She laughed then and continued chatting.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The line seemed to disappear slowly as we exchanged some information about our life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
She laughed then and continued chatting. The woman said she was a high school teacher in Liverpool. She had a lot of naughty students in the school, and she had been under great pressure in her life recently as well, so she had decided to take these days off to escape from the school for a little while by visiting her friend here. I was able to understand her because we were under the same roof. I poured out all my pain in life, too.
The line seemed to disappear slowly as we exchanged some information about our life. In chatting, time is not as long as I first imagined, and waiting is not so boring. Soon it was our turn to pay the bill and say goodbye. I carried my trainers out of the shop happily. Never did I have a sense of relief like this time. Not because of getting my trainers, but because of the relaxation and freedom to chat with a stranger who I would never meet again. Talking to strangers can help bring us back down to earth. Why not seize the chance to be pleasantly surprised
【解析】

In Santo Domingo, walk around Zona Colonial, the historic heart of the country’s capital, you’ll find castles, cathedrals (教堂), cobblestone streets, and cafés around every corner. During the low season (summer), you can find hotel deals starting at $33 a night.

My husband, Dave, who teaches Botany (植物学), always plants things. He has planted trees anywhere we have lived and is proud to see they are flourishing and providing shade and beauty for whoever lives there.
I also love planting, especially the harvest. But I hate weeding (除草). I remember one of our first gardens in Kansas when I was attacked by the hugest grasshoppers (蚱蜢) I had ever seen while weeding our little garden.
Now, our growing efforts at our new home are vegetables. We are enjoying the garden we have created. It’s large but manageable with daily care. We use methods to minimize weeds. We have the time to keep up with the watering and weeding. I find I don’t hate that anymore.
There is something satisfying about pulling grass, and violets that are growing where we don’t want them, and unnamed weeds that are affecting the growth of what we want. I find that my relationship with gardening is turning into a true romance that has a rosy future.
It’s all about time, environment and attitude. Being in my eighties, I have the time to be patient for results, to enjoy the hope for future harvest, and I have the knowledge that comes from experience. I find a lot to love about growing things and about growing older.

C. It lets people become patient and wise.
D. It makes learning knowledge difficult.

Corcoran, a farming town of California, is slowly sinking(下沉) when drought has forced farmers to pump(用泵抽) amounts of water from the ground. Corcoran is struggling to make sense of the strangest thing: His already suffering town is sinking, ever so gradually, into the ground.
To water its large fields and help feed America, farm operators began in the last century to pump water from underground sources, so much so that the ground has begun to sink. Strangely, signs of this subsidence are nearly out of sight. There are no cracks(裂缝) in the walls of the typical American shops in the town’s center, nor in the streets or fields.
This year’s drought has changed this food-basket of America into a large field of brown dust, forcing the government to limit(限制) the use of water by farmers. So Corcoran now finds itself in the middle of a bad circle: With their water supplies limited, farm operators are forced to pump more underground water, which in turn speeds the sinking of the town.
Few locals have spoken out against the problem -- not surprising, since most of them work for the same big agribusinesses pumping up groundwater. “They are afraid that if they speak against them, they might not work there any more,” said Atilano, who has spent years working for one of the country’s biggest cotton producers, J. G. Boswell.

67. 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。
Yesterday I was in a bad mood because of losing my job. I tried to find something else to do to make myself feel better. I went shopping for a pair of trainers to replace the old pair I have been wearing for too long. I would have replaced them months ago but I am one of those women who hate shopping. I hate the crowds and the heat in the shops, but mostly I hate the waiting line.
I was happy as I found my trainers very quickly, but my happiness soon disappeared when I found myself in a very long line for the payment.
This line was long and snaking around a corner. I do hate waiting but I find the best way to pass the time is to talk to the person behind me.
So I turned around and told the woman behind me that the line was looking very long and joked that I hoped we could all hang on.
She laughed and agreed. I caught an English accent(口音)as she spoke, so being a person from Liverpool in England myself, I immediately asked her where she was from.
She rewarded me with a sharp look and said, “England. ”
Immediately I realized that I had accidentally offended(冒犯)her—she was black and thought I was referring to her colour. I told her I was from Liverpool and had noticed her English accent.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She laughed then and continued chatting.
