【原文】M: Hello, Freya. Mountain biking is a popular sport among teenagers but there are fewer girls doing it. Am I right
W: Yes, although we’re growing in numbers. When I was 13, my dad bought my brother a mountain bike but I was given an ordinary one. I really wanted to join my brother, so in the end my uncle got one for me.
M: And now you’re a winner
W: Yes. I just won the Regional Championship. It was a difficult course with lots of rocks. At one point I thought I wasn’t going to win. I was ahead and then I had to slow down because a photographer jumped out from behind a tree.
M: What do you think is the most important before a race
W: Well, there’s much to do. Take plenty of exercise to keep fit. Check the route in advance. And the most important I think is that you must make sure everything’s working on the bike. If there’s anything wrong with the bike, I’ll be in trouble. And the clothes shouldn’t slow you down so they need to be tight. They might feel a bit uncomfortable when you first put them on, but you will soon get used to it. I’m not bothered about not looking pretty — I just want to win.

【解析】
原文】W: Hello, this is Greenhill Studies College. I’m leaving this message in answer to your questions about the Business Studies course. Firstly, you asked when the course starts. It begins on the 12th of June, and finishes on the 11th of July. At the beginning of the course, there are no lectures because we spend time watching business videos. So you won’t need to bring anything for the class, as everything is provided. Don’t forget, however, that although you can bring your own notebook computer if you wish, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom. I’m afraid these can disturb the classes. You said you’re coming by car. Well, as it’s only a short course, you can use the visitor’s car park which is just beside the main entrance. We’re only a short walk away. Just turn right after the Science Center, cross the staff car park, and you’ll see the door to the Business Studies Department in front of you. Finally, you also wanted to know if it’s possible to attend a language course while you are here. Well, the answer is yes, but we only have room on our Italian classes. Oh, no, actually...there’s one place on the Spanish course too. We usually offer French, Chinese, German and Japanese as well, but there aren’t enough students for those classes this summer. If you want to apply for the course, please sign up before the 5th of June. Thank you.

Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe.
Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics.
During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University.
To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner.
On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese.
24. What influenced Wu Chien-shiung when she was young
A. Her life in America. B. Her love for physics.
C. Her family background. D. Marie Curie’s achievements.
25. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3
A. Awards are usually gained through great efforts.
B. Wu Chien-shiung was “a pioneer” in many ways.
C. No scientists were better than Wu Chien-shiung.
D. We cannot stress the importance of physics enough.
26. Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien-shiung
A. Caring and responsible. B. Courageous and creative.
C. Stubborn and sensitive. D. Cautious and hardworking.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. An influential woman nuclear physicist. B. An important contribution to physics.
C. The influence of modern education. D. Nuclear researches in scientific world.

C
A lot of people ask this question: "Why is body language so important " Studies have shown that in the process of communication, non-verbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual text. This means that "how to say" is more important than "what to say". Of course, this does not mean that you don't need to do preparation for your interviews, nor does it mean that you can take any short cuts. On the contrary, this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think. Without proper body language, you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can't integrate with the external environment, not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
"People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example. who will be employed and who will be promoted."Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show. She also said that "our body language will also affect our perception ( 感知, 看法)of ourselves. When you try to make more authoritative actions,your brain will inadvertently（不经意地）receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative, so that you have more confidence in yourself".
Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any object or have a hunched back. Instead, you should try to keep your body relaxed. You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture (姿势） -of course, you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews, careers, and everyday life. Paying attention to body language could make strong impacts on your behavior,which could help you achieve better results. So, every time you are nervous or feel that you can't do it, stretch your body, smile, and tell yourself "Fake it till you become it!"
28. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A. What we say in a conversation is not so important.
B. Practicing body language is a short cut to success.
C. We should attach great importance to body language.
D. Body language carries 93% of conversation messages.
29. According to Amy Cuddy, why is body language important for us
A. It decides whether we are promoted.
B. It influences people's impression of us.
C. It makes us look more authoritative.
D. It helps people understand who we are.
30. What does the underlined word "hunched" possibly mean
A. Broken down. B. Tied behind.
C. Bent forward. D. Straightened up.
31. Who might be the intended readers of the passage
A. New arrivals in the workplace.
B. Body language researchers.
C. Working adults to be promoted.
D. Viewers of a TV talk show.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。主要介绍身体语言在职场中的重要性，并给予读者一些建议。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。由开头提问“Why is body language so important (为什么肢体语言如此重要 )” 以及后续回答“Studies have shown that in the process of communication, non-verbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual text. This means that "how to say" is more important than "what to say". Of course, this does not mean that you don't need to do preparation for your interviews, nor does it mean that you can take any short cuts. On the contrary, this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.( 研究表明，在交流过程中，非语言表达的影响比实际文本大65%到93%。这意味着“怎么说”比“说什么”更重要。当然，这并不意味着你不需要为面试做准备，也不意味着你可以走任何捷径。相反，这意味着你有更多的事情需要注意和准备。) ”等语句可知，本段主要阐述肢体语言的重要性，我们应该非常重视肢体语言。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Amy Cuddy说的话“People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example, who will be employed and who will be promoted.(人们通常可以从行为中做出推断，而这些推断的结果直接影响生活:例如，谁将被录用，谁将被提升。)”可知,Amy Cuddy认为人们通常从肢体语言判断一个人，身体语言影响他人对我们的印象，并且这些判断结果直接影响生活，所以身体语言对我们来说很重要，因为它影响人们对我们的印象。故选B。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“Instead, you should try to keep your body relaxed. You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture (姿势）(相反，你应该试着保持你的身体放松。你甚至可以以一个相对权威的姿势站立)”instead表示转折，因此推断上文“Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any object or have a hunched back.( 因此，在面试或重要会议之前，尽量不要依靠于任何物体或have a hunched back。)” 说明站立时不要依靠任何物体或者have a hunched back，这里的“a hunched back”指“一个好看的姿势”，因此推断划线词hunched，指“弓身，弓背”，故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的不“In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think.( 在真实的工作场所，肢体语言比你想象的要重要得多。)”和最后一段的“Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews, careers, and everyday life.( 肢体语言在你的工作面试、职业生涯和日常生活中起着至关重要的作用。)”可知，文章探讨的是身体语言在职场中的重要性，且部分语句直接以第二人称与读者交流，给出一些建议，因此推断文章的意向读者是职场新人。故选A。
D
For most of human history, people raised crops and livestock to feed their households rather than to sell them for profit. This began to shift after the Industrial Revolution, which saw the rise of plantation farming.
Industrial farming not only increased the crop-growing areas, but changed the techniques used by farmers. Instead of switching the crops that were grown on a field each year, entire plantations would be devoted to a single crop. This approach and intensive modes of farming led to destruction of local biodiversity and land worsening-within years, fields would cease to produce crops.
Plantations of the 18th and 19th centuries were a “get rich quick plan” rather than a long- term investment. Once a field became unusable, plantation owners would simply move on to new land. Up to the end of the 19th century, wide areas of our planet were still not claimed by global modernity. But today, while we are quickly running out of vegetative (覆盖植被的) land, this mindset continues. “Farmers still hold the view that land is cheap and limitless,” said Crystal Davis from the World Resources Institute. “Most of them just cut down more trees, when new land is needed.”
“To meet our ecological goals, we need to stop turning natural ecosystems to farmland,” Davis said. “We can achieve this in part by bringing back the land’s ecological wholeness and productivity.”
Davis points to the 20×20 initiative (倡议), which has seen 18 South American and Caribbean countries commit to recovering 50m hectares of land by 2030. It includes a number of projects aimed at introducing agroforestry (混农林业) practices to cocoa and coffee farms in Colombia and Nicaragua. There farmers are encouraged to grow crops while introducing more trees to their land.
32. What can we learn about industrial farming
A. It existed for most of human history.
B. It changed farming methods.
C. It increased crop production steadily.
D. It reduced crop-planting areas.
33. Which of the following do most farmers do at present
A. Abuse the land for quick profit.
B. Desert wide areas of plantations.
C. Adopt modern technology to farm.
D. Plant more trees to satisfy global need.
34. What can be inferred about the 20×20 initiative
A. It advocates eco-friendly farming.
B. It involves countries around the world.
C. It encourages farmers to develop more land.
D. It focuses on increasing cocoa and coffee output.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. How Can We Take up Farming B. How Can We Feed the World
C. Meeting Our Ecological Goals D. Shifting to Regenerative Agriculture
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了从工业化农业带来的不良影响和转向可再生农业的过程。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Industrial farming not only increased the crop-growing areas, but changed the techniques used by farmers.(工业化农业不仅增加了作物种植面积，而且改变了农民耕作的方法。)”可知，工业化农业改变了农民耕作的方法。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Plantations of the 18th and 19th centuries were a “get rich quick plan” rather than a long- term investment. Once a field became unusable, plantation owners would simply move on to new land. Up to the end of the 19h century, wide areas of our planet were still not claimed by global modernity. But today, while we are quickly running out of vegetative (覆盖植被的) land, this mindset continues.(18世纪和19世纪的种植园是一个“快速致富计划”，而不是长期投资。一旦一块土地无法使用，种植园主就会转移到新的土地上。直到19世纪末，我们这个星球的广大地区仍然没有被全球现代性所宣称。但今天，虽然我们的植物地正在迅速耗尽，但这种心态仍在继续。)”可知，直到今天，人们依然还是有这种“为了赚钱而消耗土地”的想法。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Davis points to the 20×20 initiative (倡议), which has seen 18 South American and Caribbean countries commit to recovering 50m hectares of land by 2030. It includes a number of projects aimed at introducing agroforestry (混农林业) practices to cocoa and coffee farms in Colombia and Nicaragua. There farmers are encouraged to grow crops while introducing more trees to their land.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
72. 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。
It was the first week of Lily’s middle school. The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her.
Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
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。
Paragraph 1:
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again.

Paragraph 2:
After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version：
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. Lily was nervous with her head down. After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Lily’s turn. Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Lily began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn’t notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story.
After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Lily was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly. Lily finally smiled. She found everyone in the class responded to her story positively. After that class, Lily slowly lifted her head while walking. Later, she kept writing. And she began speaking in front of people and enjoyed it. A braver and more confident girl appeared. And she was grateful to Mr. Johnson who believed in every student.

Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe.
Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics.
During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University.
To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner.
On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese.
24. What influenced Wu Chien-shiung when she was young
A. Her life in America. B. Her love for physics.
C. Her family background. D. Marie Curie’s achievements.
25. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3
A. Awards are usually gained through great efforts.
B. Wu Chien-shiung was “a pioneer” in many ways.
C. No scientists were better than Wu Chien-shiung.
D. We cannot stress the importance of physics enough.
26. Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien-shiung
A. Caring and responsible. B. Courageous and creative.
C. Stubborn and sensitive. D. Cautious and hardworking.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. An influential woman nuclear physicist. B. An important contribution to physics.

C
A lot of people ask this question: "Why is body language so important " Studies have shown that in the process of communication, non-verbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual text. This means that "how to say" is more important than "what to say". Of course, this does not mean that you don't need to do preparation for your interviews, nor does it mean that you can take any short cuts. On the contrary, this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think. Without proper body language, you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can't integrate with the external environment, not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
"People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example. who will be employed and who will be promoted."Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show. She also said that "our body language will also affect our perception ( 感知, 看法)of ourselves. When you try to make more authoritative actions,your brain will inadvertently（不经意地）receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative, so that you have more confidence in yourself".
Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any object or have a hunched back. Instead, you should try to keep your body relaxed. You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture (姿势） -of course, you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews, careers, and everyday life. Paying attention to body language could make strong impacts on your behavior,which could help you achieve better results. So, every time you are nervous or feel that you can't do it, stretch your body, smile, and tell yourself "Fake it till you become it!"
28. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A. What we say in a conversation is not so important.
B. Practicing body language is a short cut to success.
C. We should attach great importance to body language.
D. Body language carries 93% of conversation messages.
29. According to Amy Cuddy, why is body language important for us
A. It decides whether we are promoted.
B. It influences people's impression of us.
C. It makes us look more authoritative.
D. It helps people understand who we are.
30. What does the underlined word "hunched" possibly mean
A. Broken down. B. Tied behind.
C. Bent forward. D. Straightened up.
31. Who might be the intended readers of the passage
A. New arrivals in the workplace.
B. Body language researchers.
C. Working adults to be promoted.
D. Viewers of a TV talk show.
D
For most of human history, people raised crops and livestock to feed their households rather than to sell them for profit. This began to shift after the Industrial Revolution, which saw the rise of plantation farming.
Industrial farming not only increased the crop-growing areas but changed the techniques used by farmers. Instead of switching the crops that were grown on a field each year, entire plantations would be devoted to a single crop. This approach and intensive modes of farming led to destruction of local biodiversity and land worsening-within years, fields would cease to produce crops.
Plantations of the 18th and 19th centuries were a “get rich quick plan” rather than a long- term investment. Once a field became unusable, plantation owners would simply move on to new land. Up to the end of the 19th century, wide areas of our planet were still not claimed by global modernity. But today, while we are quickly running out of vegetative (覆盖植被的) land, this mindset continues. “Farmers still hold the view that land is cheap and limitless,” said Crystal Davis from the World Resources Institute. “Most of them just cut down more trees, when new land is needed.”
“To meet our ecological goals, we need to stop turning natural ecosystems to farmland,” Davis said. “We can achieve this in part by bringing back the land’s ecological wholeness and productivity.”
Davis points to the 20×20 initiative (倡议), which has seen 18 South American and Caribbean countries commit to recovering 50m hectares of land by 2030. It includes a number of projects aimed at introducing agroforestry (混农林业) practices to cocoa and coffee farms in Colombia and Nicaragua. There farmers are encouraged to grow crops while introducing more trees to their land.
32. What can we learn about industrial farming
A. It existed for most of human history.
B. It changed farming methods.
C. It increased crop production steadily.
D. It reduced crop-planting areas.
33. Which of the following do most farmers do at present
A. Abuse the land for quick profit.
B. Desert wide areas of plantations.
C. Adopt modern technology to farm.
D Plant more trees to satisfy global need.
34. What can be inferred about the 20×20 initiative
A. It advocates eco-friendly farming.
B. It involves countries around the world.
C. It encourages farmers to develop more land.
D. It focuses on increasing cocoa and coffee output.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. How Can We Take up Farming B. How Can We Feed the World
C. Meeting Our Ecological Goals D. Shifting to Regenerative Agriculture

72. 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。
It was the first week of Lily’s middle school. The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her.
Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
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。
Paragraph 1:
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again.

After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time.
