My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack. The first time I felt panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
24. When did the bear finally go away
A. After it felt safe.
B. After it got injured.
C. After it found some food.
D. After it took away the camera.
25. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their 　　　.
A. calmness B. patience
C. pride D. cautiousness
26. When the bear moved back towards the forest, how did the family feel
A. Excited. B. Threatened.
C. Relieved. D. Puzzled.
27. The whole text is mainly arranged in　　　.
A. result and inference B. cause and effect
C. space order D. time order
C
Getting rid of(丢弃) old tyres(轮胎) has long been a problem. Every year many tyres are thrown. Some of the ways might be better than getting rid of them, but they are not especially green.
Energy recovery(回收利用) is one common way. This includes burning tyres to produce electricity, or as a way to provide heat for other industrial processes. But that produces planet-warming pollution. Tyres can be whole or broken in construction projects, such as repairing roads. There are, however, worries about chemicals from the tyres coming out and polluting the ground.
So some companies have begun exploring another pleasing idea. Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物), it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into environmentally friendly materials which can be used to run some cars they came from. One of the most thoughtful companies is based in Oslo, Norway. Later this year the company will start building a huge tyre-reused factory in Sunderland in northeastern England. In a couple of years, when the factory is fully operational, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products.
The process works by dividing a tyre into its three main parts. One is steel, which is used to support the structure of a tyre and which can be easily reused. The second is powder used to improve the continuous use of the tyre. The third is rubber. Some of that will be natural rubber from the rubber trees. The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres. That is of interest to tyre makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral(碳中和).
28. What is the disadvantage of energy recovery of tyres mentioned in the text
A. It is unpractical. B. It produces pollution.
C. It costs a lot. D. It produces less electricity.
29. How is paragraph 3 organized
A. By giving an example. B. By making questions.
C. By following time order. D. By comparing differences.
30 Which of the following best describes the huge tyre-reused factory
A. Costly. B. Useful. C. Dangerous. D. Short-lived.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Tyres can be divided into three parts
B. A company built a tyre-reused factory
C. Energy recovery can deal with old tyres
D. Old tyres can become environmentally friendly materials
第二节 五选四 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。（教材第2-4页）
The Best Medicine
As I approach the hospital wearing my white coat, I look just like any other doctor. That is until I put on my curly rainbow wig, big red nose, and add my name badge “Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud”. I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there’s a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs, looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously. Anxious parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children.
In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose ankle is twice its normal size. I speak with the on-duty nurse, who tells me that Lara’s parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle.___32___.Although it’s the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it’s my job to make her feel better.
Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better, which means clown doctors can be helpful. We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”.___33___. Although the doctors and nurses did a great job, hospitals weren’t really designed for children. I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than little bored! Being a clown doctor means I can help people by entertaining them.
Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities, we clown doctors work together with medical professionals. On a typical day, we spend our time cheering up patients, their families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too! We do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories and, of course, telling silly jokes. Some children, though, don’t feel like laughing, especially if they’re in pain. We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient.
___34___. While the doctor concentrates on examining Lara’s ankle, I get her attention by doing a magic trick. Although she is clearly still in some pain, her scared and anxious look has been replaced—first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as I “magically” produce her sock from out of my pocket. Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara’s parents more relaxed.
And as for me Well, when I take off my wig and my red nose, I’m still wearing a big smile, as I remember all the fun and laughter of the day. While there might be more hospital visits ahead for Lara and others, I hope that clown doctors help make it a friendlier place to visit. ___35___.
A. And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick
B. As the saying goes, he who laughs last laughs the best
C. After all, it really is true that “laughter is the best medicine”
D. I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid
E. Since getting here Lara has spent her time crying in pain

The road to success
Near the small town of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny ___36___of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by___37___a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.
Like his father, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realize it at the time, but it was ___38___he learned to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every ___39___, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to ___40___his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great___41___ was another thing he learned. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen ___42___his skills.
Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his___43___. He would not give up. He finally ended up playing college ball at a small,___44___ school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player.
___45___ for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.
After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years ___46___, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game... What I wanted to do was just be myself... I know it ____47____ a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the ___48___ of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put in the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living ___49___that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become.

Although Emily’s singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said. “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too frightened to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”

【答案】14. A 15. B 16. C 17. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Welcome to today’s program. We have Lisa Gaye with us. Good morning, Lisa.
W: Morning, everyone!
M: Your Food Exchange really takes our town by storm these days, Lisa. About 1,000 people in town have joined it. Where did you get this brilliant idea
W: Well, my neighbor has plenty of vegetables in her backyard. She often shares them with me, or they may go bad. So, I came up with the idea of starting a food exchange. In this way, people can share food with each other. No food will go to waste.
M: Nice one! We’ve heard that the Food Exchange was built by the roadside, right
W: Yeah. Actually, it’s just a simple wooden stand. People bring their home-grown vegetables and fruits there and take home what they want. And they’re expected to post a video or some photos on their social media. Thus, others know what has been added or taken.
M: What about those people who don’t grow anything
W: Ha-ha, I’m one of those people. I usually take some fresh fruit, jam or dried vegetables there.

【答案】18. A 19. C 20. B
【解析】
原文】Good morning, boys and girls. Today for our natural science class, I’d like to share my volunteer experience on an island. I do volunteer work in a local organization once a year. My volunteer work doesn’t involve cleaning up the trash on the beach or saving plants and animals in the sea. Actually, I go there to help grow trees on the island. Those trees on the island play a key role in preventing soil erosion. The trees there, especially near the sea, are different from the trees in our city. They need to be some special kinds of trees. Ordinary trees may not be able to adapt to salty soils and strong sea winds and waves. Every time we plant a tree in an area, we have to confirm the depth and salinity of the groundwater in advance. That’s because these data may change greatly over time. And to our surprise, a certain type of tree can be friends or enemies to another. So, let’s get to know about the magical relationships between them in today’s class.

B
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack. The first time I felt panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
24. When did the bear finally go away
A. After it felt safe.
B. After it got injured.
C. After it found some food.
D. After it took away the camera.
25. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their 　　　.
A. calmness B. patience
C. pride D. cautiousness
26. When the bear moved back towards the forest, how did the family feel
A. Excited. B. Threatened.
C. Relieved. D. Puzzled.
27. The whole text is mainly arranged in　　　.
A. result and inference B. cause and effect
C. space order D. time order
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】

C
Getting rid of(丢弃) old tyres(轮胎) has long been a problem. Every year many tyres are thrown. Some of the ways might be better than getting rid of them, but they are not especially green.
Energy recovery(回收利用) is one common way. This includes burning tyres to produce electricity, or as a way to provide heat for other industrial processes. But that produces planet-warming pollution. Tyres can be whole or broken in construction projects, such as repairing roads. There are, however, worries about chemicals from the tyres coming out and polluting the ground.
So some companies have begun exploring another pleasing idea. Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物), it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into environmentally friendly materials which can be used to run some cars they came from. One of the most thoughtful companies is based in Oslo, Norway. Later this year the company will start building a huge tyre-reused factory in Sunderland in northeastern England. In a couple of years, when the factory is fully operational, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products.
The process works by dividing a tyre into its three main parts. One is steel, which is used to support the structure of a tyre and which can be easily reused. The second is powder used to improve the continuous use of the tyre. The third is rubber. Some of that will be natural rubber from the rubber trees. The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres. That is of interest to tyre makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral(碳中和).
28. What is the disadvantage of energy recovery of tyres mentioned in the text
A. It is unpractical. B. It produces pollution.
C. It costs a lot. D. It produces less electricity.
29. How is paragraph 3 organized
A By giving an example. B. By making questions.
C. By following time order. D. By comparing differences.
30. Which of the following best describes the huge tyre-reused factory
A. Costly. B. Useful. C. Dangerous. D. Short-lived.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Tyres can be divided into three parts
B. A company built a tyre-reused factory
C. Energy recovery can deal with old tyres
D. Old tyres can become environmentally friendly materials
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了丢弃轮胎一直以来就是一个问题，一些较好的回收方法也不环保，但现在有了一个好的想法，那就是把旧轮胎变为环保材料。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Energy recovery(回收利用) is one common way. This includes burning tyres to produce electricity, or as a way to provide heat for other industrial processes. But that produces planet-warming pollution.(能量回收是一种常见的方式。这包括燃烧轮胎发电，或为其他工业过程提供热量。但这会造成全球变暖的污染。)”可知，能量回收会造成污染。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“So some companies have begun exploring another pleasing idea. Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物), it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into environmentally friendly materials which can be used to run some cars they came from.(因此，一些公司开始探索另一个令人愉快的想法。由于轮胎主要由碳氢化合物制成，原则上应该可以把旧轮胎变成环境友善材料，用来驱动某些来自旧轮胎的汽车。)”可知，一些公司开始寻求将旧轮胎转化为环保材料的方法，再结合第三段中的“One of the most thoughtful companies is based in Oslo, Norway.(最有思想的公司之一总部设在挪威奥斯陆。)”及下文内容可知，本段通过举例来具体说明将旧轮胎转化为环保材料的想法。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Later this year the company will start building a huge tyre-reused factory in Sunderland in northeastern England. In a couple of years, when the factory is fully operational, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products.(今年晚些时候，该公司将开始在英格兰东北部的桑德兰建造一座大型轮胎再利用工厂。几年后，当工厂全面投入运营时，它将能够将800万个旧轮胎转化为新产品。)”可推测出，这家大型轮胎再利用工厂能够将800万个旧轮胎转化为新产品，这说明它非常有用。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中的“So some companies have begun exploring another pleasing idea. Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物), it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into environmentally friendly materials which can be used to run some cars they came from.(因此，一些公司开始探索另一个令人愉快的想法。由于轮胎主要由碳氢化合物制成，原则上应该可以把旧轮胎变成环境友善材料，用来驱动某些来自旧轮胎的汽车。)”可知，本文主要讲述了丢弃轮胎一直以来就是一个问题，一些较好的回收方法也不环保，但现在有了一个好的想法，那就是把旧轮胎变为环保材料。由此可推测出，D项“旧轮胎可以变成环保材料”最适合作本文标题。故选D。

The Best Medicine
As I approach the hospital wearing my white coat, I look just like any other doctor. That is until I put on my curly rainbow wig, big red nose, and add my name badge “Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud”. I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there’s a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs, looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously. Anxious parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children.
In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose ankle is twice its normal size. I speak with the on-duty nurse, who tells me that Lara’s parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle.___32___.Although it’s the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it’s my job to make her feel better.
Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better, which means clown doctors can be helpful. We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”.___33___. Although the doctors and nurses did a great job, hospitals weren’t really designed for children. I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than little bored! Being a clown doctor means I can help people by entertaining them.
Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities, we clown doctors work together with medical professionals. On a typical day, we spend our time cheering up patients, their families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too! We do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories and, of course, telling silly jokes. Some children, though, don’t feel like laughing, especially if they’re in pain. We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient.
___34___. While the doctor concentrates on examining Lara’s ankle, I get her attention by doing a magic trick. Although she is clearly still in some pain, her scared and anxious look has been replaced—first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as I “magically” produce her sock from out of my pocket. Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara’s parents more relaxed.
And as for me Well, when I take off my wig and my red nose, I’m still wearing a big smile, as I remember all the fun and laughter of the day. While there might be more hospital visits ahead for Lara and others, I hope that clown doctors help make it a friendlier place to visit. ___35___.
A. And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick
B. As the saying goes, he who laughs last laughs the best
C. After all, it really is true that “laughter is the best medicine”
D. I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid
E. Since getting here, Lara has spent her time crying in pain
【答案】32. E 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】

Although Emily’s singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said. “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too frightened to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
