【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D【解析】【导语】本文是记叙文，本文讲述了 Ohashi 在大学体操赛中因精彩的表演而获得成功，并在体操运动中重获快乐的故事。
【4题详解】词句猜测题。根据下文中的“it’s the second time in a year she’s achieved eye-catching fame(这是她一年内第二次获得引人注目的名声)”可知，画线短语所在句表示这已经不是她第一次走红了，画线短语意为“走红”，A项：Become popular(变得受欢迎)与其含义相似。故选A。
【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Ohashi exudes (流露) joy in her performances, and she’s not afraid to smile widely when she knows she’s done well. It’s acceptable, because it’s clear she’s having fun, a rare sight in the field of professional sports(大西在表演中流露出喜悦，当她知道自己做得很好时，她并不害怕露出灿烂的笑容。这是可以接受的，因为很明显她玩得很开心，这在职业体育领域是罕见的)”可知，Ohashi在体操表演中流露出喜悦，她进行体操表演时很快乐。再结合第三段最后一句“But behind the scenes, things weren’t so great(但在幕后，事情并没有那么好)”及第四段中的“Ultimately, she decided to walk away from elite gymnastics to become a college athlete. She underwent surgery for a broken back and two torn shoulders in 2014. These injuries kept her away from the sport until 2015 (最终，她决定离开精英体操，成为一名大学运动员。2014年，她因背部骨折和两肩撕裂接受了手术。这些伤病让她直到2015年才重返赛场)”可知，Ohashi在其体操生涯中也面临着巨大的压力，且曾因伤退出这一运动。综上可推知，Ohashi的体操生涯并不总是充满快乐的，故选D。
【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“It hurt. But it also took me finding Ms. Val and the UCLA and having a different goal and path to follow, to finally find joy and love within the sport again, which I haven’t been able to feel in a long time(它伤害。但我也找到了瓦尔女士和加州大学洛杉矶分校，找到了不同的目标和道路，最终在这项运动中再次找到了快乐和爱，这是我很久没有感受到的)”可知，虽然Ohashi因种种原因未能一直站立在“世界顶端”，但她遇到了Ms. Val并加入了加州大学洛杉矶分校棕熊队，找到了不同的目标和道路，最终在这项运动中再次找到了她很久都没有感受到的快乐和爱。由此可推知，Ohashi应是心怀感激的，【7题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文可知，Ohashi由于种种原因退出了体操精英赛，转而参加大学体操赛，并取得辉煌的成绩，重新找到了体操给她带来的快乐，故D项：Rediscover joy of gymnastics(重新发现体操的乐趣)作本文标题最佳。故选D。
C

【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“You can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning. And then you can watch your new permanent(永恒的) tooth grow in its place. (你可以把它放在枕头下，期待着第二天早上在那里找到一些钱。然后你就可以看到你的新恒牙在原来的地方生长。)”可知如果你的乳牙掉了一颗，你就可以看到新的永恒的牙会从掉的地方长出来。故选C。
【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“They should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked（浸泡） in denture solution when not in the mouth.(每天都要用专用的假牙刷和清洁剂刷牙，不在口腔内时用假牙液浸泡)”故A，D不正确；根据第四段“Dentures can cause pains at first and take little time to get adjusted to. (假牙一开始会引起疼痛，而且需要很短的时间来适应。)”需花费很少的时间来适应假牙，故B不正确；根据第四段“Dentures can cause pains at first (假牙在最初使用时会产生一些痛苦的)”。故选C。
【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“There are partial dentures, which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position. (有部分假牙，它只取代少数牙齿，防止其他牙齿改变位置。)”可知部分假牙可以防止其他牙改变位置，故A正确。根据第五段“Dentures are important for the old because, without teeth, it’s hard to smile, talk, and eat properly. (假牙对于老人很重要，因为他们没有牙齿，发现很难适当地微笑，讲话和吃饭)”，故B正确。根据第六段“People usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease（牙周炎）, or gum disease, (人们通常会由于牙周炎或者齿龈病而失去永恒的牙齿)”，故C正确。根据第三段“If all the teeth are gone, the person would need complete dentures (如果所有的牙都掉完了，那么需要安全部假牙了)”，故D项表述不当，故选D。

【33题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“We call this element experiential appreciation.(我们称之为体验式欣赏)”可知，划线词所在句“It represents the detection of and admiration for life’s natural beauty.(它代表着对生命自然美的发现和欣赏)”中指示代词指代上文提到的“体验式欣赏”。故选B。
【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“We conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks to see whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning.(我们进行了一系列实验，在实验中，我们给人们布置了具体的任务，看看体验式欣赏是否与一个人的意义感有关)”可知，作者是通过做实验来证实自己的观点。故选D。
【35题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后两句“Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life.(然而，生活就发生在当下。我们应该慢下来，让生活给我们惊喜，拥抱日常生活中的意义)”可知，作者建议人们珍惜当下。故选C。
第二节 七选五【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. D【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新鲜空气对人体的各种好处。
【16题详解】根据下一句中的“the answer is a big YES”可知，该空应该是一个一般疑问句，选项中只有E选项是一般疑问句。E项“但是新鲜空气真得像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗？”承上启下，故选E。空前的people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”和选项中的“your mother always said”亦是呼应。
【17题详解】根据下一句中提到的“If the air you’re breathing is clean…the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen”可知，新鲜空气充满赋予人生命的，充满活力的氧气。再根据下文中“…breathe more deeply, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain”是对前文的递进，在户外，更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。根据前面的分析可以推知，该空应该提到新鲜空气的基本作用，根据常识，我们知道吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部，然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益，故该空应选A项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部”。
【18题详解】根据下一句中提到的“these places”可以推知，该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。选项中只有G选项提到该类名词，故G项“在全国，康复中心已经开始建造‘康复花园’。”these places就是指Healing Gardens。
【19题详解】前文介绍的是“康复花园”中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用：绿色的正在成长的植物可以减轻压力，降低血压，使人情绪良好；空后提到“它给我们一种平和感”。该空起承上启下的作用，仍然要提到处于“康复花园”这种自然环境中的好处，空后的it也要指代这种情况。故选C项“身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。”
【20题详解】根据下文中提到的“the sun’s rays…give us beneficial Vitamin D”可知，该段介绍阳光的好处。故该选项应该提到阳光。选项中只有D选项涉及阳光。故选D项“获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。”

【37题详解】考查形容词。句意：荒野是加拿大的财富之一，加拿大国家公园是加拿大政府保护、保存和展示该国最令人印象深刻的领土的系统，以造福居民、游客和环境。空处用于修饰空后territory名词表示“领土”，故用提示词impress的形容词形式作定语。

第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分）第一节（满分15分）
【答案】Dear teachers and classmates,
It is a great honor for me to express my opinion on the relationship between science and human life. As is known, science and technology have been bringing human beings tremendous benefits. Thanks to technology, we now live comfortably and conveniently in houses furnished with air conditioners, fridges, washing machines and so on. Besides, due to the appearance of science and technology, we can travel long distances in the fraction of a second on planes and cars.
However, there are still some disadvantages. Because of the breakthroughs in the field of medicine, people are now living much longer than they used to. As a result, the population is increasing, leading to lots of problems, such as environmental pollution.
Therefore, it is urgent that we should find some ways to cope with these problems. As long as we use science and technology in a proper way, they may bring us even more benefits.

The Spellman boys ran up to our car and realized what had happened. They greeted us warmly. Mother told the whole thing awkwardly. The boys went to the car, checked the tyre and said they could help us. One of the boys went home quickly to get some tools. Another older boy began to change the tyre. He changed it skillfully. Time passed little by little. Finally, our car could start again. My mother sincerely thanked them. They laughed and left. A smile appeared on mother’s face.
The next day the Spellman’s dogs walked through my mother’s flower garden again. But this time, my mother didn’t drive the dog out of our yard. Instead, she brought some food to the dog. After a while, my mother and I came to Spellman’s house with the dog. This was our first visit to their house. We talked happily, talking about the interesting things that happened in the neighbourhood. Suddenly, I realized that “loud personality” is not a bad thing. It’s really lucky to have neighbors like them.

Over the weekend, social media was excited about a heart-stopping gymnastic routine and we have UCLA athlete Katelyn Ohashi to thank. The routine itself is only ninety seconds long, but the 21-year-old athlete jumped, flipped, turned, and showed off her incredible talent across the floor to a combination of R&B and soul music. Ohashi earned a well-deserved perfect 10 from the judges and her performance eventually led the UCLA to victory at the end of the competition.
But the best part This isn’t the first time she’s gone viral — it’s the second time in a year she’s achieved eye-catching fame, and it’s for good reason. At the 2018 Pac 12 Championships, Ohashi performed an awesome floor routine set to a combination of Michael Jackson’s hits.
Ohashi exudes (流露) joy in her performances, and she’s not afraid to smile widely when she knows she’s done well. It’s acceptable, because it’s clear she’s having fun, a rare sight in the field of professional sports. Born in Seattle, Ohashi did four years on the USA Gymnastic’s junior national team, and won the 2013 American Cup. But behind the scenes, things weren’t so great.
Ohashi was under intense pressure competing at the elite (精英) level. Fans told her she wasn’t good enough, and she was under pressure to be thin. Ultimately, she decided to walk away from elite gymnastics to become a college athlete. She underwent surgery for a broken back and two torn shoulders in 2014. These injuries kept her away from the sport until 2015 when she joined the UCLA Bruins gymnastics team for the 2015–16 season.
“There was a time when I was on top of the world, an Olympic hopeful. I was unbeatable until I wasn’t,” Ohashi said. “It hurt. But it also took me finding Ms. Val and the UCLA and having a different goal and path to follow, to finally find joy and love within the sport again, which I haven’t been able to feel in a long time.”
20. Which is closest in meaning to the phrase “gone viral” underlined in paragraph 2
A. Become popular. B. Appear suddenly.
C. Change surprisingly. D. Succeed unexpectedly.
21. What do we know about Katelyn Ohashi
A. She was little-known until recently.
B. Her gymnastic skills improved in the UCLA.
C. She won her first victory in the UCLA.
D. Her gymnastic career wasn’t always full of joy.
22. How does Ohashi sound in the end
A. Regretful. B. Appreciative. C. Humorous. D. Confused.
23. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. Regain self-confidence B. Battle against ill remarks
C. Go beyond physical limits D. Rediscover joy of gymnastics
C
Losing a baby tooth can be fun for a kid. You can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning. And then you can watch your new permanent (永恒的) tooth grow in its place.
But if a permanent tooth falls out, that’s a problem. There isn’t another one under the gum (齿龈)that can replace it. Unfortunately, this happens to some older people. And if permanent teeth fall out or need to be pulled, an older person might need dentures.
Dentures, known as false teeth, are a set of replacement teeth for any teeth that are missing. There are partial dentures, which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position. If all the teeth are gone, the person would need complete dentures, which replace every tooth in the mouth.
Dentures can cause pains at first and take little time to get adjusted to. They also need special care. They should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked (浸泡) in denture solution when not in the mouth.
Dentures are important for the old because, without teeth, it’s hard to smile, talk, and eat properly. But it can be a little weird if you see someone take out his or her dentures. It can also be strange to see someone, like a grandparent, without dentures in because he or she won’t have any teeth. Try not to make fun of the person because this could cause hurt feelings.
People usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease (牙周炎), or gum disease, which is caused by bacteria that attack the gums. Diseased gums aren’t strong and healthy, so teeth can get loose and fall out. Older people often have many cavities (洞) that have been filled over the years, and these fillings can weaken over time, leading to more tooth problems.
24. If one of your baby teeth falls out, you .
A. should have a false tooth fixed in its place B. have to put it under your pillow at once
C. will gain a permanent tooth in future D. can exchange it for some money
25. A person wearing dentures .
A. should brush them with a special denture brush every few days
B. will take a very long time to adjust himself or herself to them
C. will experience unpleasant feelings at the beginning of fixing them
D. should use denture solution to soak them in his or her mouth
26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Partial dentures can prevent the remaining teeth from changing position.
B. Old people will find it hard to smile, talk, and eat properly without teeth.
C. A person’s teeth will possibly get loose if diseases strike his gums.
D. It is hard for a person to wear dentures if all his teeth have fallen out.
27. What does the underlined word “weird” mean in the fifth paragraph
A. inconvenient B. excited C. uncomfortable D. impolite
D
When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose big contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, struggling for existence
Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence often boils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent(连贯的) and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters in a system of things.
But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they happen and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for life’s natural beauty.
We conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks to see whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning. In one case, we found that participants who watched an awe-inspiring video, such as the BBC documentary Planet Earth(地球脉动), reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life, compared with participants who watched more neutral(不带感彩的) videos, such as an instructional woodworking video.
The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. The focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life.
28. What are the key factors of meaningful existence according to the scholars
A. Wealth, goals and achievements. B. Capability, positivity and meaning.
C. Contribution, great aim and coherence. D. Coherence, purpose and existential mattering.
29. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in paragraph 3
A. That link. B. Experiential appreciation.
C. The value. D. A deep connection to events.
30. How does the author support his viewpoints according to paragraph 4
A. By listing figures. B. By telling stories.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By doing experiments.
31. What does the author suggest people do
A. Maximize future outcomes. B. Focus on targets and goals.
C. Value what is happening now. D. Enjoy the fast-paced lifestyles.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___32___ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
___33___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___34___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___35___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
__36__While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D . To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D .
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said

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。
When the Spellman family moved next door to us, my mother believed that they were sent to test her good nature. See, our block was pretty quiet until the Spellman family came. There were senior citizens, the newlywed couple, and us—the Middleton family. We didn’t live in any way like the Spellman family did. We kept our lawn cut and turned off our lights at 9 p.m. However, the Spellman family had quite a different lifestyle.
The first thing that you must know is that there were sixteen of them, all different ages from twin babies to grown men. That part is only relevant because each Spellman had a loud personality, and sixteen loud personalities create a lot of volume. They played loud music day and night, had crowds of noisy guests coming and going, and every one of those sixteen Spellmans must have owned a bike that they kept resting in the front yard.
Living next to those Spellmans almost drove my mother crazy. If she wasn’t complaining to her sister Jackie about the way the Spellman girls dressed, then she was shooing the Spellman’s dogs out of our yard or filing noise complaints with the police. My mother had never been so busy. She was even organizing a “good neighbors” committee to discuss ways to improve the neighborhood. All she ever spoke of was the Spellman family and their wrongdoings.
One Sunday afternoon, my mother was driving Ms. Parker home to her house on the hill when we got a flat tyre. My father was out of town at the time, so it was just me, my mother, and Ms. Parker. All of us might have been able to get the spare tyre out of the trunk (后备箱), but as far as changing the tyre, we were totally clueless. Since Ms. Parker lived so far up that hill, not a lot of traffic drove by us. It had been about fifteen minutes since the last car passed when we heard the sharp noises of an old car.
The Spellman boys ran up to our car and realized what had happened.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day the Spellman’s dogs walked through my mother’s flower garden again.
