B. It allows cool air to come in.
C. It is easy for hot air to flow out.
【答案】18. B 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: We won’t know what the future house will look like, but we can imagine three kinds of houses. The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.
第二部分：阅读理解(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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Here’s a selection of the strangest races in the world.
Surf Dog Competition
Hundreds of participants from all over the US come to fight for the first prize. This annual event is an official dog surfing competition taking place in Imperial Beach in August and Huntington Beach in September. The attendance to the event is free of charge, however, donations are welcome.
Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race
If you think wheel toys are designed for kids only, you’re wrong. The race was initiated by John Brumit in 2000 when he rode down Lombard Street on his plastic wheel toy. That day, he was the only participant in the race. He continued his tradition every year, but few joined him. In 2006, someone posted a video of his race and as a result, the next year’s race featured hundreds of participants though there was no prize money. Since then, the annual race has been held on Easter Sunday in San Francisco.
World’s Ugliest Dog Contest
It’s an annual event held in June in Petaluma, California. But it’s not about making fun of the ugly dogs, but about encouraging them and showing the world that such dogs can also be happy and adorable. The competition has been held since the 1970s. The winner gets a check for $1,000.
Fur Rondy
Like the famous Spanish Bullfighting Festival, Alaska has its own tradition. It’s a bit transformed. Speedy reindeer (驯鹿) run after the participants in the race. This event is held every February in Anchorage, Alaska. Participants pay a small fee to attend it; some of them wear funny dresses, which children enjoy very much.
21. Of the following races, which is held in two places
A. Fur Rondy. B. Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race.
C. Surf Dog Competition. D. World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.
22. What made Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race popular quickly
A. The prize money of the race. B. A video of Brumit in the race.
C. Brumit’s strange race device. D. The joy brought by the race.
23. What do the listed competitions have in common
A. They are free of charge. B. They have ancient traditions.
C. They are favored by children. D. They are held annually.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍4个世界上最奇怪的比赛。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Surf Dog Competition部分“This annual event is an official dog surfing competition taking place in Imperial Beach in August and Huntington Beach in September.(这项一年一度的活动是一项官方的狗冲浪比赛，于8月在帝国海滩和9月在亨廷顿海滩举行。)”可知，Surf Dog Competition这项比赛在两个地方举办，故选C。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race部分“In 2006, someone posted a video of his race and as a result, the next year’s race featured hundreds of participants though there was no prize money. Since then, the annual race has been held on Easter Sunday in San Francisco. (2006年，有人发布了他比赛的视频，结果，第二年的比赛有数百名参与者，尽管没有奖金。从那时起，一年一度的比赛一直在旧金山的复活节举行。)”可知，发布Brumit比赛的视频后，才一年一度举办比赛，使Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race这场比赛变得流行起来，故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Surf Dog Competition部分“This annual event is an official dog surfing competition taking place in Imperial Beach in August and Huntington Beach in September.

(这是一年一度的活动，于6月在加利福尼亚州的Petaluma举行。)”及Fur Rondy部分“This event is held every February in Anchorage, Alaska. (该活动每年二月在阿拉斯加州的Anchorage举行。)”可知，这四场比赛的共同点都是每年举办一次，故选D。

Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Virginia—especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half kidding, but Medha took the challenge seriously. So she went to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure (安全的) when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn’t think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges (评委) for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, programme and test the app. As for her next app Medha’s not certain. She temporarily has her app-development tasks on hold because she’s busy teaching herself AI (人工智能) to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes, she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can’t hurt her own part, too.
“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.”
24. What did Medha Gupta’s mother advise her to do
A. Walk to school. B. Take a bus.
C. Travel with others. D. Develop an app.
25. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. Medha had expected much of her project. B. It’s a surprise for Medha to be a winner.
C. The app can just be applied to iPhone. D. The App Challenge is held every other year.
26. What message does Medha seem to convey in the last paragraph
A. AI leads to a better future. B. Never too old to learn.
C. Always be creative in life. D. Practice makes perfect.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Judges to Eye Talents B. IOS App for iPhone
C. Mother to Offer Help D. Medha for Safe Travel
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Medha Gupta因担心回家路上的安全问题，自己独立开发了一款手机应用软件Safe Travel。在路途中遇到危险等，人们可通过该软件向亲人或者朋友发出预警信息。
【24题详解】
细节理解题，根据第二段“Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app.(她的母亲Divya Gupta提出了一个建议：编写一个应用程序。)”可知，Medha Gupta的母亲建议她开发一个应用程序。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“While she didn’t think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges (评委) for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s10th District.(虽然她认为这个项目不会有太大的收获，但她的努力引起了一年一度的Congressional App Challenge评委的注意，他们将她选为弗吉尼亚州第10选区的获胜者。)”可知，Medha能成为赢家真是个惊喜。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it(如果我们看到这个世界有什么问题，我们应该做些什么)”可推断，Medha意在强调生活中应积极思考，勇于突破自我，即保持创新。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题，通读全文，尤其是第三段的“The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure (安全的) when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.(这款名为Safe Travel的应用程序是由Medha设计的，旨在帮助步行者在独自旅行时感到更安全。使用iPhone，用户可以对其进行编程，如果他或她信任的人未能在一定时间内到达目的地，就会向他或她发送警告。)”可知，本文主要介绍Medha Gupta为了解决上学路上遇到的安全问题，在妈妈的鼓励下，开发了一款独特的应用软件Safe Travel，用于保护步行者的人身安全，因此最好的题目是D选项“Medha for Safe Travel(Medha的Safe Travel)”，故选D。
C
Do you like to keep fit We’re always told that regular exercise is good for our body and mind. More and more people are taking up activities that improve their fitness. But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷) and overdo it
Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection. And fitness trackers and apps can add to this addiction, especially if someone is driven by achievement and perfectionism. And sharing data on social media means exercising becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in someone who is vulnerable (脆弱的). Experts say this can lead to a medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy eating and over-exercise. Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and mental health problems.
Too much exercise can also take its toll on someone’s physical health as well. Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low immune system. So how much exercise is too much Researches found the ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour-and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的) jogging.
If you’re more of a couch potato than a runner, this might sound like good news. But for amateur (业余的) athletes who can’t help but push their bodies to the limit, the advice from Martin Turner, a sports and exercise psychologist, is, “It’s all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to control everything, saying, ‘You don’t need to be perfect.’”
28. What is the main reason for people’s addiction to over-exercise according to paragraph 2
A. Their need for social support.
B. Their addiction to fitness apps.
C. Their pursuit(追求)of perfectionism.
D. Their concern over health issues.
29. What does the underlined phrase “take its toll” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Going hand in hand.
B. Having a bad effect.
C. Making little difference.
D. Playing an important role.
30. What is the passage mainly about
A. The risk of fitness obsession.
B. The importance of mental health.
C. The benefits of moderate jogging.
D. The symptoms of over-exercising.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Fiction. B. Lifestyle. C. Culture. D. News
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了过度沉迷健身给我们带来的影响，以及建议我们要适度健身，不必追求完美。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection.(嗯，对一些人来说，健身已经成为一种痴迷，因为他们追求完美。)”可知，有些人追求完美导致对健身十分痴迷，故选C项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low immune system.( 过度运动的症状包括腿部骨折和免疫系统低下。)”可知，后句是在分析过度健身带来的危害，因此推断划线句句意为：过多的锻炼也会对某人的身体健康造成损害。由此可知“take its toll”是有坏影响的意思，故选B项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷的) and overdo it (但是是否有这个风险？——我们有可能会着迷，甚至过度健身。)”以及最后一段“It’s all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to control everything, saying, “You don’t need to be perfect.”(这是关于放手，不要沉迷，学会不要控制一切，说：“你不需要完美。”)”可知，本文讲述了过度沉迷健身给我们带来的影响，故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you like to keep fit (你喜欢健身吗？)”以及结合全文可知，本文是在讲述我们过度健身的影响，应该属于生活方式类，故选B项。
D
When the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.
For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist (薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast (《流动的盛宴》), “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. ”
But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring.
Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的).
The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole (《库尔的野天鹅》), writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.
32. What can be concluded about White Dew
A. It is often ignored by writers and poets.
B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall.
C. It indicates the end of the autumn.
D. It is when the temperature begins to drop.
33. Why is “A Moveable Feast” was mentioned
A. To point out that autumn is very cold.
B. To show that winter will soon come.
C. To present the sad part of autumn.
D. To express sadness about the end of life.
34. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to
A. We can always stay young at heart.
B. Autumn is an important season for man.
C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old.
D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned.
35. What’s the focus of the passage
A. The solar term White Dew.
B. Famous writers’ description of autumn.
C. Autumn weather and activities.
D. Why autumn is a sad season.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一些著名作家和诗人对秋天的描述。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“On September 7 comes White Dew(白露), the 15th solar term(节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.(9月7日是白露，这是一年中的第15个节气。它预示着凉爽秋天的开始。随着气温下降，晚上的草地和树上经常会看到露珠。)”可知，白露是气温开始下降的时候。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. (你在秋天自会感伤。每年当树叶从树上掉下来，它们的枝条裸露在寒风和寒冷的阳光下时，你的某些部分也随之死去。)”可推断，提到海明威的《流动的盛宴》是为了呈现秋天的悲伤部分，故选C项。
【34题详解】
短语猜测题。根据划线词后文“he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age(他想起，即使我们变老了，我们的心永远保持不变的年龄。)”可知，this idea即爱尔兰诗人叶芝所提醒我们的内容：我们可以永远保持年轻的心态。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，第一段提到秋天，第二段讲述秋天对作家和诗人来说难以描述，第三段到最后一段分别阐述了西方一些著名作家和诗人对秋天的描述，包括海明威、阿尔贝·加缪、约翰·济慈和叶芝等。因此推断文章主要讲述著名作家和诗人对秋天的描述。故选B项。
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。
There are many theories that suggest different ways of improving memory or thinking more clearly. One of those is the idea that adding rosemary (迷迭香) to your food or water, or even breathing in its fragrance, can give your brain a boost.
First, it’s important to understand what rosemary is. ____36____ It’s a perennial, meaning that once you plant it, it should re-grow every year when the weather is warm enough for it to do so. It’s native to Asia and the Mediterranean. ____37____
Rosemary is related to the mint (薄荷) family of plants. When it blooms, its flowers are white, purple, pink or deep blue. It is often used as a flavor in food, including soups, meat, fish and other Mediterranean food. And it has a somewhat bitter flavor. Some people also enjoy tea flavored with rosemary. ____38____
One study that involved 28 older adults found that consumption of a small amount of dried rosemary powder was associated with statistically significantly improved memory speed. ____39____ Researchers found that their memory of images and numbers improved when the essential oil of rosemary was sprayed in the room.
____40____ But one theory is that rosemary appears to have some antioxidant (抗氧剂) properties that may offer some healing for the damage in our bodies. Another idea is that rosemary appears to lower anxiety, which in turn, may increase the ability to concentrate.
While rosemary shows some promise for boosting our brain power, it’s important to check with your doctor before you begin having it.
A. But it is grown in the United States, as well.
B. Rosemary is a herb with needle-like leaves.
C. Here’s what research has found about rosemary.
D. It is unknown if those benefits would hold true for humans.
E. It’s not known for sure why there may be a benefit from rosemary.
F. Rosemary is also used as a perfume and added to shampoo and soap.
G. Another study was performed with 53 students between 13 and 15 years old.
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. F 39. G 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文向我们介绍了一种多年生植物——迷迭香以及它对人体的益处。
【36题详解】
从空格处上文“First, it’s important to understand what rosemary is.(首先，了解迷迭香是什么很重要)”可知，空处应是解释迷迭香是什么，分析选项可知 B 项“迷迭香是一种有针叶的草本植物”符合语境。故选B项。
【37题详解】
空格处上文“It’s native to Asia and the Mediterranean.(它原本生长在亚洲和地中海地区)”是讲述迷迭香的产地，A项“但它也生长在美国”也是讲述迷迭香的产地，且表述与上文之间形成转折，且A项中的“is grown in”与上文中的“is native to”形成对比，故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“It is often used as a flavor in food, including soups, meat, fish and other Mediterranean food. And it has a somewhat bitter flavor. Some people also enjoy tea flavored with rosemary.(它经常被用作食物的调味剂，包括汤、肉、鱼和其他地中海食物。它有一些苦的味道。有些人还喜欢迷迭香茶)”可知，此处主要介绍了迷迭香在我们日常生活中的用途。F项“迷迭香也被用作香水和添加到洗发水和肥皂”符合语境，F项中的“Rosemary is also used as...”与上文关键词“It is often used as…”相呼应，故选F项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“One study that involved 28 older adults found that consumption of a small amount of dried rosemary powder was associated with statistically significantly improved memory speed.(一项涉及28名老年人的研究发现，食用少量迷迭香粉能显著提高记忆速度)”可知，本段向我们说明，研究表明迷迭香可以帮助改善人的记忆力。G项“另一项研究对53名13至15岁的学生进行了研究”符合语境，G项中的“Another study”与上文 中的“One study”之间形成并列关系，故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“But one theory is that rosemary appears to have some antioxidant (抗氧剂) properties that may offer some healing for the damage in our bodies.(但有一种理论认为迷迭香似乎有一些抗氧化的特性，可以为我们身体的损伤提供一些治疗)”可知，此处是讲述迷迭香对人体的益处，空处与下文是转折关系，E项“目前还不清楚迷迭香为什么会有好处”符合语境，与下文之间形成转折关系，且E项中的“there may be a benefit from rosemary”与下文说明的迷迭香对人体的益处相呼应。故选E项。

第二节语篇填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分)

57. currently
58. living 59. surveys
60. Although##Though##While
61. gained 62. which
63. the 64. are cared

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了大熊猫的保护工作。
【56题详解】
考查连词。句意：大熊猫在野外和圈养环境中都受到极低出生率的威胁。both...and...意为“……和……都，不仅……而且……”，为固定搭配，连接两个并列结构。故填and。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意：其范围目前仅限于其历史范围西部边缘的一小部分。空处应用副词，修饰谓语。currently意为“现时，目前”。故填currently。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2006年，科学家们报告说，生活在野外的大熊猫数量可能被低估了，大约有1000只。分析句子结构，空处应用非谓语动词，作后置定语修饰pandas。逻辑主语pandas和动词live之间是主谓关系，所以应用现在分词。故填living。
【59题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：以前的种群调查使用传统方法来估计野生大熊猫种群的规模，但使用一种分析大熊猫粪便DNA的新方法，科学家们认为野生大熊猫的数量可能高达3000只。survey意为“调查”，为可数名词。空前没有表示数量的限定词，且这里泛指之前的种群调查，所以应用名词复数。故填surveys。
【60题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：尽管该物种仍处于濒危状态，但人们认为保护工作正在发挥作用。分析句子结构，空处引导一个状语从句。根据句意，“the species is still endangered”和“the conservation efforts are thought to be working”之间是让步关系，所以应用although, though或while引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管，虽然”。故填Although/Though/While。
【61题详解】
考查时态。句意：同年，它在四川省的栖息地被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。根据句中的In the same year和前句中的In 2006可知，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填gained。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：2012年，全球非营利组织“地球观察”以卧龙国家自然保护区为基地启动了一个项目，该组织安排志愿者与科学家合作，进行重要的环境研究。分析句子结构，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，指代先行词Earthwatch，指物，且在从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意参考上题。根据空后的Wolong National Nature Reserve可知，这里是专有名词，其前应加the。故填the。
【64题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：该项目允许志愿者与被圈养照料的大熊猫近距离合作，帮助它们适应野外生活。空处在which引导的定语从句中作谓语，和and后的help并列，所以应用一般现在时。which指代pandas，与care for之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动语态，且主语表示复数，谓语应用复数形式。故填are cared。
【65题详解】
考查代词。句意参考上题。空处指代pandas，作help的宾语，所以应用代词宾格them。故填them。

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。
There was an elderly lady standing in the bone-chilling cold outside the back of the supermarket. She was holding a basket with bunches of flowers.
“Would you like the flowers, they are $3 ” she asked me as I was walking past. I politely responded “No, thank you”, as I walked away and went inside the supermarket.
I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady, standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired, her polite quiet voice and lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands....
I had my own personal struggles, I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too. But it wasn’t my first thought when she had asked me about buying her flowers. My first thought was I didn’t have the cash but this couldn’t be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same.
When I went to the register to pay with my card I asked for $3 cash out. The staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account. And at the same time she pressed the button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside. Sigh of relief. I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I walked away and around the corner of the supermarket to the lady.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After giving her $3, I was surprised when she handed me the change.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph1:
I walked away and around the corner of the supermarket to the lady. She was still standing where I once met her. The wind was blowing heavily, and her cheeks now were red because of the chilly wind.Somehow, I felt a bit of ashamed of not buying the flowers beforehand. At the moment, I made up my mind. I came up to her and told her that I would buy the flowers. Feeling excited, she handed me the flowers politely. And I reached my pocket, giving her the money.
Paragraph2:
After giving her $3, I was surprised when she handed me the change. I asked if she had made mistake. A simply word “No” was answered. She told me she had stood here for almost all day selling the flowers as her husband was badly ill. No one wanted to give her the sympathy to buy the flowers. It was I that helped her and bought the flowers. She was grateful and decided to give me some discount. All at once, I realized that even a small kindness can also made a difference.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索，讲述了我在去超市买东西时，遇见一位卖花的老妇。在她向我售卖这些花时，我拒绝了她。随后，在购物期间，我脑中一直浮现这个卖花老妇的形象，想着可能她遇到了生活中的困难或者她是一位靠着卖花来生活的孤独老人。想着这些，我在收银台处换了三美元。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我走开了，在超市的拐角处，走向那位女士。”可知，接下来可描述我当时就看到这位女士的情景，以及我决定买下她的花。
②由第二段首句内容“给了她3美元后，她把零钱给我的时候，我很惊讶。”可知，接下来的内容可以写我询问她这样做的原因以及我的感悟。

Here’s a selection of the strangest races in the world.
Surf Dog Competition
Hundreds of participants from all over the US come to fight for the first prize. This annual event is an official dog surfing competition taking place in Imperial Beach in August and Huntington Beach in September. The attendance to the event is free of charge, however, donations are welcome.
Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race
If you think wheel toys are designed for kids only, you’re wrong. The race was initiated by John Brumit in 2000 when he rode down Lombard Street on his plastic wheel toy. That day, he was the only participant in the race. He continued his tradition every year, but few joined him. In 2006, someone posted a video of his race and as a result, the next year’s race featured hundreds of participants though there was no prize money. Since then, the annual race has been held on Easter Sunday in San Francisco.
World’s Ugliest Dog Contest
It’s an annual event held in June in Petaluma, California. But it’s not about making fun of the ugly dogs, but about encouraging them and showing the world that such dogs can also be happy and adorable. The competition has been held since the 1970s. The winner gets a check for $1,000.
Fur Rondy
Like the famous Spanish Bullfighting Festival, Alaska has its own tradition. It’s a bit transformed. Speedy reindeer (驯鹿) run after the participants in the race. This event is held every February in Anchorage, Alaska. Participants pay a small fee to attend it; some of them wear funny dresses, which children enjoy very much.
21. Of the following races, which is held in two places
A. Fur Rondy. B. Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race.
C. Surf Dog Competition. D. World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.
22. What made Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race popular quickly
A. The prize money of the race. B. A video of Brumit in the race.
C. Brumit’s strange race device. D. The joy brought by the race.
23. What do the listed competitions have in common
A. They are free of charge. B. They have ancient traditions.
C. They are favored by children. D. They are held annually.
B
Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Virginia—especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half kidding, but Medha took the challenge seriously. So she went to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure (安全的) when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn’t think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges (评委) for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s10th District.

Do you like to keep fit We’re always told that regular exercise is good for our body and mind. More and more people are taking up activities that improve their fitness. But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷的) and overdo it
Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection. And fitness trackers and apps can add to this addiction, especially if someone is driven by achievement and perfectionism. And sharing data on social media means exercising becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in someone who is vulnerable (脆弱的). Experts say this can lead to a medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy eating and over-exercise. Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and mental health problems.
Too much exercise can also take its toll on someone’s physical health as well. Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low immune system. So how much exercise is too much Researches found the ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour-and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的) jogging.
If you’re more of a couch potato than a runner, this might sound like good news. But for amateur (业余的) athletes who can’t help but push their bodies to the limit, the advice from Martin Turner, a sports and exercise psychologist, is, “It’s all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to control everything, saying, ‘You don’t need to be perfect.’”
28. What is the main reason for people’s addiction to over-exercise according to paragraph 2
A. Their need for social support.
B. Their addiction to fitness apps.
C. Their pursuit(追求)of perfectionism.
D Their concern over health issues.
29. What does the underlined phrase “take its toll” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Going hand in hand.
B. Having a bad effect.
C. Making little difference.
D. Playing an important role.
30. What is the passage mainly about
A. The risk of fitness obsession.
B. The importance of mental health.
C. The benefits of moderate jogging.
D. The symptoms of over-exercising.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Fiction. B. Lifestyle. C. Culture. D. News
D
When the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.
For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist (薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast (《流动的盛宴》), “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. ”
But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring.
Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的).
The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole (《库尔的野天鹅》), writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.
32. What can be concluded about White Dew
A. It is often ignored by writers and poets.
B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall.
C. It indicates the end of the autumn.
D. It is when the temperature begins to drop.
33. Why is “A Moveable Feast” was mentioned
A. To point out that autumn is very cold.
B. To show that winter will soon come.
C. To present the sad part of autumn.
D. To express sadness about the end of life.
34. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to
A. We can always stay young at heart.
B. Autumn is an important season for man.
C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old.
D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned.
35. What’s the focus of the passage
A. The solar term White Dew.
B. Famous writers’ description of autumn.
C. Autumn weather and activities.
D. Why autumn is a sad season.

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。
There was an elderly lady standing in the bone-chilling cold outside the back of the supermarket. She was holding a basket with bunches of flowers.
“Would you like the flowers, they are $3 ” she asked me as I was walking past. I politely responded “No, thank you”, as I walked away and went inside the supermarket.
I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady, standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired, her polite quiet voice and lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands....
I had my own personal struggles, I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too. But it wasn’t my first thought when she had asked me about buying her flowers. My first thought was I didn’t have the cash but this couldn’t be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same.
When I went to the register to pay with my card I asked for $3 cash out. The staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account. And at the same time she pressed the button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside. Sigh of relief. I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I walked away and around the corner of the supermarket to the lady.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After giving her $3, I was surprised when she handed me the change.
