Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career—gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut ( 首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut—drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs—even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
4. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Arrived. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
5. According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success
A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard work.
C. His being fond of snowboarding. D. His life dream of achieving success.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Su
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Lovely and famous.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted.
7. What’s Su’s attitude toward his future
A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D. Satisfied.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.(我认为在我未来的职业生涯中，无论是单板滑雪还是表演，我都有很多可能性去探索。但现在我只想享受这一刻，把它当作最好的生日礼物来庆祝。)”可知，苏一鸣对他的将来充满希望。故选B。

Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”
After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail (手指甲) tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh — until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio in Hecker, Illinois. “Everything turned from ridiculous to wow.”
When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails looking so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.
The photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. Using flesh-toned inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients’ view of themselves.
Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, Mississippi, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. After undergoing countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip but in vain, she ultimately turned to Catalano, who covered her lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence. Pollan says, “It made me have a different outlook on life.”
“Every time I see that emotion from my customers, I’m 100 percent sure this is something that I can’t stop doing.”
8. At first, what did people think of the idea of creating the first fingernail tattoos
A. Inspiring. B. Life-changing. C. Funny. D. Amazing.
9. What do we know about the posted photo of the fingernail tattoos
A. No one believed it was real.
B. It enjoyed great popularity.
C. It brought Catalano fame and money overnight.
D. It discouraged Catalano from furthering on in that field.
10. Why does the author mention Pollan’s story
A. To warn people to stay away from puppies.
B. To prove that plastic surgeries are not so effective.
C. To show Catalano helps change clients’ view of themselves.
D. To highlight that tattooing is very important in our daily life.
11. Which one is the best title of the passage
A. Magical Tattoos B. A Tattoo Artist C. Popularity of Tattoos D. Development of Tattoos
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要了讲述纹身艺术家Catalano帮助身体遭遇不幸的人，用纹身艺术弥补他们的缺陷，帮助他们重拾信心。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The idea made everyone in the studio laugh — until they saw the final result.(这个想法让工作室里的每个人都笑了——直到他们看到最终的结果)”推知，一开始人们觉得指甲纹身这个主意是可笑的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails looking so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.(当卡塔拉诺发布了一张纹身的照片时，一双指甲看起来如此真实，以至于没有人相信自己的眼睛，他不知道这张照片最终会被全世界数百万人看到)”可知，上传的指甲纹身照片很受欢迎。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Using flesh-toned inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients’ view of themselves.(使用肉色墨水和针，卡塔拉诺改变了他的客户对自己的看法)”以及第五段“Pollan says, “It made me have a different outlook on life.”(波伦说：“这让我对生活有了不同的看法。”)”可推知，作者举该例子是说明Catalano 做的纹身帮助客户改变了对自身的生活看法。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第二段““The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio in Hecker, Illinois. “Everything turned from ridiculous to wow.”(“气氛变了，”卡塔拉诺在他位于伊利诺伊州赫克的永恒墨水纹身工作室回忆道。“一切都从荒谬变成了精彩。”)”以及第五段“Pollan says, “It made me have a different outlook on life.”(波伦说：“这让我对生活有了不同的看法。”)”可知，文章主要了讲述纹身艺术家Catalano帮助身体遭遇不幸的人，用纹身艺术弥补他们的缺陷，帮助他们重拾信心。故A项“神奇纹身”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Walking over water might sound unbelievable. In fact, people do it all the time. How Almost all of the world’s liquid fresh water that is called groundwater lies underground.
Earth is a water planet, but most of its water is in the oceans. Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is fresh water, of which nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers ( 冰 川 ) and ice caps and about 30 percent is groundwater―much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.
Groundwater is found almost everywhere on Earth. It hides under mountains, plains and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge (海绵), forming buried bodies of water called aquifers ( 地下蓄水层). Together, they hold about 60 times as much water as the world’s lakes and rivers combined. Groundwater is a key part of the earth’s water cycle. Rain and melted snow go down into the ground. The water can stay there for thousands of years. Some groundwater naturally runs out onto the earth’s surface through springs. It also flows into lakes, rivers and wetlands. People get groundwater through wells for drinking, watering crops and other uses.
As human-caused climate change dries out parts of the planet, demand for groundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may increase storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rush straight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.
Many of the world’s aquifers already seem to be drying up. Twenty-one of the earth’s 37 biggest aquifers are becoming smaller, satellite data show. The most dried-out aquifers are near big cities, farms, or dry regions. As groundwater stores dwindle, they hold less water to refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecosystems.
12. Which of the following make(s) up the largest part of fresh water
A. Underground water. B. Glaciers and ice caps.
C. Oceans. D. Rivers and lakes.
13. What can we know about groundwater from Paragraph 3
A. It will end up in rivers and seas.
B. It’s mainly stored in wet regions.
C. It’s mainly kept in the form of aquifers.
D. It runs out onto the earth’s surface regularly.
14. Why does climate change result in less groundwater according to the text
A. It makes heavier rain go into the soil.
B. It raises the temperature and increases daytime.
C. It causes glaciers to disappear faster than ever.
D. It allows less rain to go underground directly.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The earth is a water planet.
B. Water is in crisis on the planet.
C. The groundwater is decreasing.
D. The climate change is threatening the earth.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界上几乎所有被称为地下水的液态淡水都位于地下。但是由于气候变化以及人类活动，地下水不断减少，地下水的减少会影响淡水生态系统。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is fresh water, of which nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers ( 冰 川 ) and ice caps and about 30 percent is groundwater―much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.(地球上只有大约2.5%的水是淡水，其中近69%是冻结在冰川和冰盖中的，大约30%是地下水——远远超过流经河流和湖泊的1.2%。)”可知，冰川和冰盖构成淡水的最大部分。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It hides under mountains, plains and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge (海绵), forming buried bodies of water called aquifers ( 地下蓄水层).(它隐藏在山脉、平原甚至沙漠之下。岩石和土壤颗粒之间的微小缝隙像海绵一样吸收并留住了这些水，形成了被称为含水层的地下水体。)”可知，从第三段中我们可以了解到地下水主要以含水层的形式存在，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“At the same time, climate change may increase storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rush straight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.(与此同时，气候变化可能会增加风暴。大雨更有可能直接流入溪流和排水沟，而不是进入土壤。所以，附近的地下水可能会更少。)”可知，气候变化导致地下水减少是因为它使得更少的雨水直接进入地下，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章倒数第二段的“As human-caused climate change dries out parts of the planet, demand for groundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may increase storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rush straight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.(随着人类造成的气候变化使地球部分地区干涸，对地下水的需求可能会上升。与此同时，气候变化可能会增加风暴。大雨更有可能直接流入溪流和排水沟，而不是进入土壤。所以，附近的地下水可能会更少。)”可知，本文主要介绍了世界上几乎所有被称为地下水的液态淡水都位于地下。但是由于气候变化以及人类活动，地下水不断减少。地下水的减少会影响淡水生态系统，因此文章的最佳标题是C选项“The groundwater is decreasing.(地下水在减少。)”。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的书写系统的发展历史。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：中国以其延续到现代的古老文明而闻名，中国的文字系统是主要因素之一。空格处用副词widely修饰形容词known，widely意为“普遍地，广泛地”。故填widely。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：追溯到几千年前的龙古时代，书面汉语是一种以图画为基础的语言。句中谓语是was，空格处用非谓语动词，written Chinese和date back之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Dating。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：到商代，它已经是一个高度发达的系统。由By the Shang Dynasty可知，此处表示在过去的过去之前完成的事情，时态用过去完成时，因此空格处是had been。故填had been。

【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：文字系统不仅在团结中国人民和文化方面具有重要意义，而且是中国现在与过去联系的重要手段。此处是“介词+which”引导的限制性定语从句，by the means of意为“通过……的方式/手段”，因此空格处用介词by，故填by。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：今天，我们可以阅读中国古代的经典著作。句中谓语是can read，空格处用非谓语动词，works和write之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填written。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：现在，中国书法作为一种艺术形式，已经成为中国文化的重要组成部分。form是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，art是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意：随着中国在全球事务中发挥越来越大的作用，越来越多的国际学生开始学习汉语，以欣赏中国的文化和历史。根据语境可知，句子表示“越来越多的国际学生开始学习汉语，以欣赏中国的文化和历史”，空格处用不定式表目的，故填to appreciate。

47. 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。
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather’s house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa’s place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather’s village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa’s house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu, and the other Betu. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung to (抓紧) his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It’s an earthquake!” They ran outside the house.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising!” The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched with fear.
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging (汹涌) in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
注意：

Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. Grandpa fought the waves and tried to catch Sami, but failed. Sami was drifted away! Sami struggled to keep his head above the water. The water pushed him ahead. Fortunately, he caught Petu in Grandpa’s courtyard. He climbed up it and saw his Grandpa struggling near Betu in the violent water. He screamed out to Grandpa to encourage him to approach Betu, but the water was so wild that it was difficult for the old man to reach Betu. An idea occurred to Sami. He quickly broke off a branch of Petu and stuck it to Grandpa. With the help of the branch, he pulled Grandpa up the tree.
Now they were up in Petu. Another wave came with terrifying speed and force, but they were safe thanks to the tree. They hugged each other, tears welling up in their eyes. They stayed there comforting each other, waiting the disaster to go away. After what seemed a long time, it was calm. Both Grandpa and Sami came down the tree and they hugged the tree with tears of gratitude. But for Petu, there would not be alive now. They knew Petu and Betu were part of their life.

Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career—gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut ( 首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut—drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs—even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
4. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Arrived. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
5. According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success
A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard work.
C. His being fond of snowboarding. D. His life dream of achieving success.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Su
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Lovely and famous.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted.
7. What’s Su’s attitude toward his future
A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D. Satisfied.

Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”
After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail (手指甲) tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh — until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio in Hecker, Illinois. “Everything turned from ridiculous to wow.”
When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails looking so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.
The photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. Using flesh-toned inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients’ view of themselves.
Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, Mississippi, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. After undergoing countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip but in vain, she ultimately turned to Catalano, who covered her lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence. Pollan says, “It made me have a different outlook on life.”
“Every time I see that emotion from my customers, I’m 100 percent sure this is something that I can’t stop doing.”
8. At first, what did people think of the idea of creating the first fingernail tattoos
A. Inspiring. B. Life-changing. C. Funny. D. Amazing.
9. What do we know about the posted photo of the fingernail tattoos
A. No one believed it was real.
B. It enjoyed great popularity.
C. It brought Catalano fame and money overnight.
D. It discouraged Catalano from furthering on in that field.
10. Why does the author mention Pollan’s story
A. To warn people to stay away from puppies.
B. To prove that plastic surgeries are not so effective.
C. To show Catalano helps change clients’ view of themselves.
D. To highlight that tattooing is very important in our daily life.
11. Which one is the best title of the passage
A. Magical Tattoos B. A Tattoo Artist C. Popularity of Tattoos D. Development of Tattoos
D
Walking over water might sound unbelievable. In fact, people do it all the time. How Almost all of the world’s liquid fresh water that is called groundwater lies underground.
Earth is a water planet, but most of its water is in the oceans. Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is fresh water, of which nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers ( 冰 川 ) and ice caps and about 30 percent is groundwater―much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.
Groundwater is found almost everywhere on Earth. It hides under mountains, plains and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge (海绵), forming buried bodies of water called aquifers ( 地下蓄水层). Together, they hold about 60 times as much water as the world’s lakes and rivers combined. Groundwater is a key part of the earth’s water cycle. Rain and melted snow go down into the ground. The water can stay there for thousands of years. Some groundwater naturally runs out onto the earth’s surface through springs. It also flows into lakes, rivers and wetlands. People get groundwater through wells for drinking, watering crops and other uses.
As human-caused climate change dries out parts of the planet, demand for groundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may increase storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rush straight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.
Many of the world’s aquifers already seem to be drying up. Twenty-one of the earth’s 37 biggest aquifers are becoming smaller, satellite data show. The most dried-out aquifers are near big cities, farms, or dry regions. As groundwater stores dwindle, they hold less water to refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecosystems.
12. Which of the following make(s) up the largest part of fresh water
A. Underground water. B. Glaciers and ice caps.
C. Oceans. D. Rivers and lakes.
13. What can we know about groundwater from Paragraph 3
A. It will end up in rivers and seas.
B. It’s mainly stored in wet regions.
C. It’s mainly kept in the form of aquifers.
D. It runs out onto the earth’s surface regularly.
14. Why does climate change result in less groundwater according to the text
A. It makes heavier rain go into the soil.
B. It raises the temperature and increases daytime.
C. It causes glaciers to disappear faster than ever.

In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people. Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day.____16____ If possible, practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people. If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three cards. This will force you to keep your speech brief and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.

Keep eye contact with the crowd.____20____ Pick one person in each section and look at him while you’re speaking. After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another section. When you focus only on one person at a time, the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.

Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather’s house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa’s place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather’s village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa’s house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu, and the other Betu. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung to (抓紧) his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It’s an earthquake!” They ran outside the house.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising!” The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched with fear.
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging (汹涌) in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
注意：
1. 续写词数应150左右;

Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.
