In my late 20s, my world turned upside down in just 72 hours. My husband Doug worked at local construction company, while I was a quality-control inspector for JanSport, a backpack manufacturer located in Wenatchee, Washington. We were both extremely hard workers, but we could not work our way out of a declining economy. Doug was laid off on Wednesday and, two short days later, I learned that my entire plant had decided to relocate to Mexico to save money.
I didn’t react well to the news. I wanted to find a place to hide, but that wasn’t an option. I was scared when my husband got his lay-off notice on Wednesday. I was still suffering from the uncertainty of how we would make ends meet when I walked into work that fateful Friday and was told our plant was closing. At that point, I was absolutely shocked, angry, scared beyond description, and at a loss as to what we were going to do.
Although money had been tight in our home for some time, our family had made a smart decision a few years earlier that saved us from disaster. It had taken us two years, but we managed to save an emergency fund. In the end, losing all of our family’s income sources in the space of three days didn’t break us. It made us stronger.
Instead of hiding from my problem, I picked myself up and decided to help improve my family’s circumstances. There was actually a hidden blessing in the whole storm for me. Because my plant had closed down, I was eligible to go to school under Job Training Partnership Act. Was it embarrassing to ask for help from the state to improve myself Sure. But in studying to be an accountant I was making a better future for my family for years to come. I have also paid that help forward countless times, contributing time and money to the community and sharing my story to help others help themselves.

The year I turned fifty, I resolved to do something new every day. However, balancing 365 new things with work and family, while still managing to do the laundry and get dinner on the table every night, was not always easy. In the early weeks of the project, I found it difficult to find so many new things.
It wasn’t long before my friends learned that I was open to almost anything I could consider a new thing, and the invitations began pouring in not just from friends, but friends of friends. As a result, my life was new. I went dog sledding. I attended a fashion show. I went to numerous lectures on all kinds of topics that I never would have previously considered useful or interesting and found something to appreciate in every single one. I even signed up immediately when learning about a local group trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by doing something unusual.
As time went by, whenever I learned about something that seemed remarkable, I did what I could to pursue it. Instead of “Why”, I began to ask “Why not”. Now I find it is easier to just keep my eyes open to the possibilities that surrounded me. It turned out that there were new things everywhere, and all I had to do was make a little effort to enjoy them.
I looked back on the year. It doesn’t matter to me that many of my “new things” weren’t exactly meaningful. What matters is how to make full use of them when discovering there is an endless number of new things for me. It seemed to me an obvious sign that at fifty, my life was full of promise. I could continue to grow, stretch my wings, and learn more every day for the rest of my life. I enjoyed the idea of something new, and it gave me a reason to welcome each day as an opportunity to experience the world a little differently.

Coffee is probably the world’s least expensive success power tool. Coffee builds better teams and increases your leadership ability. Coffee also increases your immunity. It increases focus and drive and may even increase your lifespan.
Unfortunately, we may not be enjoying the benefits or pleasures of coffee too much longer. According to ecologists, there’s a good chance that in 20 or 30 years, the varieties of coffee that we drink today will be extinct. And we’ll be drinking a coffee substitute that more or less resembles the drink we enjoy today.
The problem, of course, is the pace of climate change. Successful coffee cultivation has three preconditions: a warm, highly stable (稳定)tropical (热带的)climate with altitudes that keep air temperature between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius, rich soil full of natural nutrients, and an ecological environment that’s pest and disease resistant.
Coffee is a crop that is only grown in a thin band called the “coffee belt” close to the equator (赤道). It simply won’t grow anywhere else. Unfortunately, the “coffee belt” is extremely vulnerable to climate change. If the air is too cold or too hot, it prevents the growth of the coffee plant.
Climate change also creates environmental stress, which spreads parasites, pests and plant diseases. All of these increase the fragility of the coffee crop and create the possibility of species-destroying rot.
Almost all the coffee cultivated in the world today is one of two species, arabica or Robusta, either of which might be wiped out in this way. There are other species of coffee, and scientists are hoping that, if worse comes to worst, a different species can be bred into coffee.
Unfortunately, almost all of these species exist only in Ethiopia, a country that climate change is already hammering. As the environmental nonprofit USAID points out:
“Ethiopia is one of the world’s most drought-prone countries. The country is faced with numerous development challenges that exacerbate its weakness facing climate change including increases in temperature, unstable rainfall and unpredictability of seasonal rain, and increased incidences of drought and other extreme events.”
In other words, even as climate change threatens coffee as it exists today, climate change is also eating away at the root source which we might turn to for replacement species.
What to do Well, take the time to savor each cup of coffee you drink. Beyond that, stop electing the politicians who deny climate change.
12. What is the author’s feeling about the future of coffee
A. Helpless. B. Bored. C. Happy. D. Concerned.
13. Which condition probably prevents the growth of the coffee plant
A. A tropical climate. B. Rich soil.
C. Increasing temperature. D. Stable rainfall.
14. The underlined word in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. remove B. worsen C. decrease D. accept
15. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Change Climate for Coffee B. Enjoy Coffee While You Can
C. Benefits from Coffee Drinking D. Conditions for Coffee Planting

In my childhood, my teacher Mrs. Hunter announced that our class would complete a pen-friend project. We would write letters to children in some African countries to make friends with them. So all of us needed to bring stationery (信纸) to school the next day.
Finding some beautiful stationery which was designed with lovely cartoon characters, such as Minnie Mouse and Snow White in the store, I asked my mother to buy it for me. At the store, we learned that a pack of ten pieces of such stationery cost close to seven dollars.
“You’ll have to use common paper,” my mother said. Then, she bought a pack of cheap common paper for me. Obviously, there weren’t any cartoon characters on the paper, so I was upset and disappointed. At that time, I didn’t know my mother was facing some financial (财政的) problems and was trying hard to support the family.
That night, my mother, a lover of schedules, sent me to the bed at the usual time of 9：30. But then instead of going to bed as she normally did, she remained in the living room. When I didn’t hear the voice of a news host through the TV, I wondered what exactly kept my mother up past her bedtime. Walking up to her I found she bent beneath our single lamp, sketching (画素描). When I asked what she was drawing, my mother just covered the page with her arms and ordered me to return to my bed. A week ago, I had begged her for a new box of crayons and she refused. Now I wanted beautiful stationery and she refused again. That night, I lay in bed looking at the moon, believing I was the unluckiest girl in the world.
The next morning, my mother’s eyes were black-ringed, and she looked so tired while preparing the breakfast of oatmeal (燕麦糊) in the kitchen. “Drink it before school,” she said, pointing at the food.
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：
“I don’t want any,” I said unhappily, still upset she didn’t buy beautiful stationery for me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
“Mom, the cartoon characters are so beautiful”I said, with a smile.“Thank you.”

Instead of hiding from my problem, I picked myself up and decided to help improve my family’s circumstances. There was actually a hidden blessing in the whole storm for me. Because my plant had closed down, I was eligible to go to school under Job Training Partnership Act. Was it embarrassing to ask for help from the state to improve myself Sure. But in studying to be an accountant I was making a better future for my family for years to come. I have also paid that help forward countless times, contributing time and money to the community and sharing my story to help others help themselves.

The year I turned fifty, I resolved to do something new every day. However, balancing 365 new things with work and family, while still managing to do the laundry and get dinner on the table every night, was not always easy. In the early weeks of the project, I found it difficult to find so many new things.
It wasn’t long before my friends learned that I was open to almost anything I could consider a new thing, and the invitations began pouring in not just from friends, but friends of friends. As a result, my life was new. I went dog sledding. I attended a fashion show. I went to numerous lectures on all kinds of topics that I never would have previously considered useful or interesting and found something to appreciate in every single one. I even signed up immediately when learning about a local group trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by doing something unusual.
As time went by, whenever I learned about something that seemed remarkable, I did what I could to pursue it. Instead of “Why”, I began to ask “Why not”. Now I find it is easier to just keep my eyes open to the possibilities that surrounded me. It turned out that there were new things everywhere, and all I had to do was make a little effort to enjoy them.
I looked back on the year. It doesn’t matter to me that many of my “new things” weren’t exactly meaningful. What matters is how to make full use of them when discovering there is an endless number of new things for me. It seemed to me an obvious sign that at fifty, my life was full of promise. I could continue to grow, stretch my wings, and learn more every day for the rest of my life. I enjoyed the idea of something new, and it gave me a reason to welcome each day as an opportunity to experience the world a little differently.

【分析】本文是一记叙文。作者五十岁那年决心每天做一些新的事情，刚开始作者发现很难。随着时间的推移，当作者看到一些引人注目的事情时，便会尽自己的最大可能去追求它。在接下来的人生中，作者每天学习更多的东西去感知和体验这个世界。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The year I turned fifty, I resolved to do something new every day. However, balancing 365 new things with work and family, while still managing to do the laundry and get dinner on the table every night, was not always easy. In the early weeks of the project, I found it difficult to find so many new things.”可知，作者五十岁那年决心每天做一些新的事情。然而将每天的新事情与工作和家庭平衡起来，同时每天晚上要洗衣服并准备好晚餐，并非总是容易的。在这个计划施行的前几周，作者发现很难找到那么多可以做的新事情。因此C项（说是一回事，而做是另一回事）最能描述作者的感受。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was open to almost anything I could consider a new thing. I went to numerous lectures on all kinds of topics that I never would have previously considered useful or interesting and found something to appreciate in every single one.”可知，作者对任何自认为新颖的事物都敞开心扉去接受。作者参加了许多以前从未被作者认为是有用或有趣的各种主题的讲座并且发现了值得欣赏的东西。因此作者对新事物持欣赏的态度。appreciative(欣赏的)是文中appreciate的形容词。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It doesn’t matter to me that many of my “new things” weren’t exactly meaningful. What matters is how to make full use of them when discovering there is an endless number of new things for me.”可知，作者尝试过的许多“新事物”并不都有意义,但这对于作者来说并不重要。重要的是“当发现有很多新事情可以尝试去做时，如何充分利用它们”，因此作者想要告诉我们的是“充分利用新事物”。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者在50岁那年决定每天做些新的事情，刚开始作者发现很难。随着时间的推移，当作者看到一些看似引人注目的事情时，便会尽自己的最大可能去追求它。由最后一段的“I looked back on the year. I enjoyed the idea of something new, and it gave me a reason to welcome each day as an opportunity to experience the world a little differently.”可知，作者回顾了过去的一年。作者喜欢新事物，这给了自己一个理由去迎接每一天，把每天作为一个机会去体验世界。因此，D项（尝试新事物的一年）合乎文章内容，可以作为文章的标题。故选D。
D
Coffee is probably the world’s least expensive success power tool. Coffee builds better teams and increases your leadership ability. Coffee also increases your immunity. It increases focus and drive and may even increase your lifespan.
Unfortunately, we may not be enjoying the benefits or pleasures of coffee too much longer. According to ecologists, there’s a good chance that in 20 or 30 years, the varieties of coffee that we drink today will be extinct. And we’ll be drinking a coffee substitute that more or less resembles the drink we enjoy today.
The problem, of course, is the pace of climate change. Successful coffee cultivation has three preconditions: a warm, highly stable (稳定的)tropical (热带的)climate with altitudes that keep air temperature between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius, rich soil full of natural nutrients, and an ecological environment that’s pest and disease resistant.
Coffee is a crop that is only grown in a thin band called the “coffee belt” close to the equator (赤道). It simply won’t grow anywhere else. Unfortunately, the “coffee belt” is extremely vulnerable to climate change. If the air is too cold or too hot, it prevents the growth of the coffee plant.
Climate change also creates environmental stress, which spreads parasites, pests and plant diseases. All of these increase the fragility of the coffee crop and create the possibility of species-destroying rot.
Almost all the coffee cultivated in the world today is one of two species, arabica or Robusta, either of which might be wiped out in this way. There are other species of coffee, and scientists are hoping that, if worse comes to worst, a different species can be bred into coffee.
Unfortunately, almost all of these species exist only in Ethiopia, a country that climate change is already hammering. As the environmental nonprofit USAID points out:
“Ethiopia is one of the world’s most drought-prone countries. The country is faced with numerous development challenges that exacerbate its weakness facing climate change including increases in temperature, unstable rainfall and unpredictability of seasonal rain, and increased incidences of drought and other extreme events.”
In other words, even as climate change threatens coffee as it exists today, climate change is also eating away at the root source which we might turn to for replacement species.
What to do Well, take the time to savor each cup of coffee you drink. Beyond that, stop electing the politicians who deny climate change.
12. What is the author’s feeling about the future of coffee
A. Helpless. B. Bored. C. Happy. D. Concerned.
13. Which condition probably prevents the growth of the coffee plant
A. A tropical climate. B. Rich soil.
C. Increasing temperature. D. Stable rainfall.
14. The underlined word in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. remove B. worsen C. decrease D. accept
15. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Change Climate for Coffee B. Enjoy Coffee While You Can
C. Benefits from Coffee Drinking D. Conditions for Coffee Planting
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于气候变化，咖啡种植面临挑战，在未来20～30年很多咖啡种类可能会灭绝。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Unfortunately, we may not be enjoying the benefits or pleasures of coffee too much longer. According to ecologists, there’s a good chance that in 20 or 30 years, the varieties of coffee that we drink today will be extinct.”(不幸的是，20-30年后，我们今天喝的咖啡可能会消失，我们可能不再享受咖啡带来的乐趣)”可推知，作者对咖啡的将来很担忧。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“If the air is too cold or too hot, it prevents the growth of the coffee plant. (如果空气太冷或太热，就会阻碍咖啡植株的生长)”可知，太冷或太热都不利于咖啡种植。C项“不断上升的温度”符合题意。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第八段的“Ethiopia is one of the world’s most drought-prone countries. The country is confronted with numerous development challenges that exacerbate its weakness facing climate change including increases in temperature, unstable rainfall and unpredictability of seasonal rain, and increased incidences of drought and other extreme events.(埃塞俄比亚是世界上最干旱的国家之一。这个国家面临许多挑战。气温增加，不稳定的雨量，不可预测的雨季，干旱以及极端事件。这些都使得它本身干旱的弱点更加exacerbate)”并结合上下文，尤其关键词numerous development challenges和weakness可推知划线词意为“恶化”，即这些大量的挑战让干旱更加恶化。A. remove移开；B. worsen恶化；C. decrease降低；D. accept接受。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。全文主要介绍了由于气候变化，咖啡种植面临挑战。再根据最后一段的“Well, take the time to savor eachcup of coffee you drink. (好吧，花时间品味你喝的每一杯咖啡)”可知，作者呼吁珍惜现在喝咖啡的时光。由此可知B项“享受你能喝咖啡的机会”最适合作本文标题。故选B。

【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：毕业典礼本身在五月底或六月初举行，通常包括音乐、奖项和特邀演讲人。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The graduation ceremony，指物，且在从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：学生们在毕业前很长一段时间就开始为毕业做准备了。根据句中的“Students start preparing for graduation”和“it happens”可知，学生为毕业做准备发生在毕业典礼到来之前，且空后主谓结构完整，所以应用before引导时间状语从句。故填before。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：他们订购专门为他们班级设计的毕业戒指。修饰动词designed应用副词。specially意为“专门地，特意”。故填specially。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：另一个传统是让他们拍照。空处应用形容词性物主代词their，作定语修饰photographs。故填their。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些照片被用于班级年鉴，这是一本关于学校所有学生的印刷书。空处应用非谓语动词，作定语。逻辑主语book和print之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词。故填printed。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这些卡片通常包括参加典礼的请柬。invitation意为“请柬”，为可数名词，此处为第一次出现，表示泛指，所以应用不定冠词。invitation开头发音为元音音素，所以不定冠词应用an。故填an。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：如果你收到它，你应该给毕业生送一份礼物或钱。present和money构成选择关系，所以应用连词or表示“或者”。故填or。
【45题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：在典礼前几周，学生们将去量他们在典礼上要戴的帽子的尺寸。根据句意和上下文时态，这里陈述的是高中毕业典礼的传统，表示一般情况，应用一般现在时。measure sb. for sth.意为“给某人量某物的尺寸”，为固定搭配。主语the students和measure之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动语态，且主语表示复数，所以谓语应用复数。故填are measured。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
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。
In my childhood, my teacher Mrs. Hunter announced that our class would complete a pen-friend project. We would write letters to children in some African countries to make friends with them. So all of us needed to bring stationery (信纸) to school the next day.
Finding some beautiful stationery which was designed with lovely cartoon characters, such as Minnie Mouse and Snow White in the store, I asked my mother to buy it for me. At the store, we learned that a pack of ten pieces of such stationery cost close to seven dollars.
“You’ll have to use common paper,” my mother said. Then, she bought a pack of cheap common paper for me. Obviously, there weren’t any cartoon characters on the paper, so I was upset and disappointed. At that time, I didn’t know my mother was facing some financial (财政的) problems and was trying hard to support the family.
That night, my mother, a lover of schedules, sent me to the bed at the usual time of 9：30. But then instead of going to bed as she normally did, she remained in the living room. When I didn’t hear the voice of a news host through the TV, I wondered what exactly kept my mother up past her bedtime. Walking up to her I found she bent beneath our single lamp, sketching (画素描). When I asked what she was drawing, my mother just covered the page with her arms and ordered me to return to my bed. A week ago, I had begged her for a new box of crayons and she refused. Now I wanted beautiful stationery and she refused again. That night, I lay in bed looking at the moon, believing I was the unluckiest girl in the world.
The next morning, my mother’s eyes were black-ringed, and she looked so tired while preparing the breakfast of oatmeal (燕麦糊) in the kitchen. “Drink it before school,” she said, pointing at the food.
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：
“I don’t want any,” I said unhappily, still upset she didn’t buy beautiful stationery for me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
“Mom, the cartoon characters are so beautiful”I said, with a smile.“Thank you.”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“I don’t want any, “I sad unhappily, still upset she didn’t buy beautiful stationery for me. She carried two bowls of oatmeal to the table, “I suppose you don’t want any of the common stationery, either,” a faint smile flashing across her lips. Hearing her words, I immediately noticed a pack of paper next to my bowl. I stepped closer to the table and picked it up without delay, surprisingly seeing other pretty cartoon characters on every piece of paper. Only then did I realize Mom had stayed up to make the drawing.
Paragraph 2:
“Mom, the cartoon characters are so beautiful,” I said with a smile, “Thank you.” Looking at her black-ringed and tired eyes, I felt a great sense of guilt welling up my heart at the thought of my attitude to my mother, tears blurring my eyes. I held the beautiful stationery and walked to my mother, hugging her tightly, “I’m so sorry and thank you for what you have done for me. I am the luckiest girl in the world.” Hearing this, my mother smiled with relief, patting my back gently.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小时候，作者完成一个笔友项目，他们要写信给一些非洲国家的孩子，和他们交朋友，作者想要一些漂亮的信纸，上面有可爱的卡通人物，但是作者的妈妈只给她买了一包便宜的普通纸，作者为此不开心，但妈妈却熬夜给信纸画上卡通人物的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容““我不想要，”我不高兴地说，仍然为她没有给我买漂亮的文具而难过。”可知，第一段可描写作者仍然为没有买漂亮的信纸而不高兴，但是发现每张纸上画商了其他漂亮的卡通人物。
②由第二段首句内容““妈妈，这些卡通人物真漂亮，”我笑着说，“谢谢你。””可知，第二段可描写作者意识到妈妈熬夜画了这些画后，倍感愧疚，对妈妈表达感谢。
2.续写线索：仍然不开心——发现了普通纸上画有卡通人物——意识到妈妈是熬夜画的——很愧疚——表达感谢
3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达）
行为类
①猜想：suppose/guess
②意识到：realize /be aware that
③拿起：pick up / take up
情绪类
①内疚：guilt/compunction
②感谢：thank/ appreciate
【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing her words, I immediately noticed a pack of paper next to my bowl. (运用了现在分词作状语)
[高分句型2] Only then did I realize Mom had stayed up to make the drawing.(运用了部分倒装句型)
