It was early November in 2013 when Ronan Renz Napoto and his family in Eastern Visayas, Philippines, heard over the news that there was a typhoon coming. “Living in the Pacific, we’re used to having typhoons so we weren’t very worried,” he said. When Typhoon Haiyan hit, they were unprepared for its violence. For years after, Ronan would have nightmares of the day. “Everything keeps on flashing back to me. It’s still painful to remember those events,” he said.
It was his journey to overcome those difficulties that led Ronan down the path of climate advocacy (宣传组). He started to actively volunteer with Greenpeace, participating in designing posters and helping with organizing activities. Ronan also took part in influencing policy makers in his community about creating effective environmental and plastic policies. His most memorable activity with Greenpeace is also the one closest to his heart, and that is collecting stories about typhoon from the different communities.
“It reminds me that behind the science of climate change, there are real people with real stories,” Ronan said. “Data are important but we don’t want to be just remembered as numbers, we want to be remembered and our stories to be remembered about who we are and how we struggled.”
Ronan, is also the founder of Balud, a youth-led organization. “Coming from the disaster- affected area, I wanted to highlight the youth leaders from outside the big cities. In Balud, we create more opportunities for young people who are coming from vulnerable (易受伤害的) communities so that everybody knows that we also have powerful stories behind the science of climate change,” he said.
The process has not been easy for the young man, but Ronan’s determination and passion keeps him focused on his job. “We have in our local language the word Padayon, which means ‘to keep going’.”
4. What do we know about Ronan after Typhoon Haiyan
A. He kept recalling that day. B. He was in the least worried.
C. He was given mental treatment. D. He prepared well for the next typhoon.
5. What activity of Green peace impresses Ronan most
A. Helping with organizing activities. B. Taking part in designing posters.
C. Making influential policies. D. Collecting stories about typhoon.

B. It provides more job opportunities for young people in big cities.
C. It highlights the role of young people in fighting climate change.

In Balud, we create more opportunities for young people who are coming from vulnerable (易受伤害的) communities so that everybody knows that we also have powerful stories behind the science of climate change,(我来自受灾难影响的地区，我想强调大城市以外的青年领袖。在巴鲁德，我们为来自易受伤害的社区的年轻人创造了更多机会，让每个人都知道，我们在气候变化科学背后也有强大的故事)”可知，为应对气候变化做出努力的人们希望被记住，在巴鲁德，作者想强调大城市以外的年轻人，也为年轻人创造更多的机会，即它强调了年轻人在应对气候变化方面的作用。故选C。

Sui Xin and her friends spend an afternoon roasting nuts and fruits around a stove (炉子) while enjoying freshly brewed (冲泡的) tea. For the 28-year-old, this has become a new way to connect with friends away from the busy daily life in Beijing. This traditional practice of tea brewing over a fire has been shown in many Chinese paintings, poetry and literary works. However, in recent years, it has appealed to more and more young people in China as a way to make healthy habits become a part of modern lifestyles.
To promote tea culture among younger generations, traditional teahouses have changed to new-style Chinese teahouses. Some teahouses have created new social scenes by providing unique tea experiences and well-designed comfortable spaces for drinking tea. The decoration of some stores features a combination of traditional Chinese styles and youthful design, such as Heytea’s Zhongguancun store in Beijing. The store’s designer made the roof elements of traditional Beijing buildings become a part of the modern tea space, creating a unique combination of old and new.
Sun Xuling, co-founder of Theatre Tea, observed that people’s awareness of their health has showed in their preference for seasonal teas and drinks with less sweetness. At Theatre Tea, tea-flavored dessert is one of their specialties, which is always ordered together with their drinks. Sun notes that there has been a clear increase in people’s awareness of Chinese tea in the past two years. To cater to the need of young people, Theatre Tea is planning on opening a tea experience store, which will enable customers to try the different ways of making tea and to learn more about tea culture.
The exploration of new combinations between traditional tea culture, pop culture, and modern life is an exciting and important trend in China. With the increasing popularity of Chinese tea, tea makers and teahouses are continuously finding new ways to promote the cultures to younger generations while preserving its traditional customs.

The giant panda’s special black-and-white fur makes it one of the most recognizable animals on the planet. But why does it have this unique coloring To hide from natural enemies, both in the snow and in the shadows, study lead author Tim Caro, a professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fish & Conservation Biology at the University of California, Davis, said in a new statement. Moreover, the large black circles around a panda’s eyes may help other pandas recognize it, the researchers said.
Understanding why the giant panda has such noticeable color has been a long-term problem to solve. To find out the answer, Caro and his colleagues looked at photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore(食肉动物) species, including 39 subspecies of bear. Then, they recorded the coloring on each area of those animals’ bodies, and compared them with areas of the panda’s body. “Compared with the previous studies, the breakthrough in this study was treating each part of the body as an independent area,” Caro said.
The research team tried to figure out the purpose of the dark-colored furry areas. After going through many comparisons, the researchers determined that the white parts of the giant panda help it hide in the snow. In contrast, its black arms and legs help it hide in the shadows, they said. The panda’s white-and-black coloring didn’t appear to be related to temperature regulation. Nor did they find evidence that the dark circles around a panda’s eyes helped to make them look cuter.
“This really was a great effort by our team, finding and scoring thousands of images and scoring more than 10 areas per picture from over 20 possible colors,” study co-author Ted Stankowich, an assistant professor of biology at California State University, Long Beach, said in the statement. “Sometimes it takes hundreds of hours of hard work to answer the simplest question: Why is the panda black and white ”
12. What does the new study focus on
A. How pandas hide from natural enemies successfully.
B. Why pandas have unique black-and-white coloring.
C. Whether the black circles around a panda’s eyes are useful. ”
D. What makes pandas so cute and eye-catching.
13. What makes the new study different from the previous studies
A. Researching more carnivore species. B. Using the method of comparison.
C. Treating each part of the body separately. D. Recording the number of photos.
14. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. The giant panda gets used to living in the snow.
B. The white-and-black fur can help pandas hide.
C. The coloring of pandas is related to temperature.
D. The function of the dark-colored areas is unknown.
15. What is implied from Ted Stankowich’s words
A. Keeping your curiosity can make a difference.
B. Hundreds of hours of hard work is annoying.
C. Scientists dislike doing research on simple issues.
D. It needs efforts to find the why behind what you see.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了加州大学戴维斯分校的研究人员针对大熊猫为什么有特殊黑白毛色进行了一项研究，研究发现有这种毛色是为了在雪中和阴影中躲避敌人。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Understanding why the giant panda has such noticeable color has been a long-term problem to solve. To find out the answer, Caro and his colleagues looked at photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore(食肉动物) species, including 39 subspecies of bear.(理解为什么大熊猫有如此明显的颜色一直是一个需要解决的长期问题。为了找到答案，Caro和他的同事们查看了大熊猫和195种其他食肉动物的照片，其中包括39个熊亚种。)”可知，这项新研究关注的是为什么大熊猫有独特的黑白颜色。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘Compared with the previous studies, the breakthrough in this study was treating each part of the body as an independent area,’ Caro said.(Caro说：‘与之前的研究相比，这项研究的突破在于将身体的每个部位都视为一个独立的区域。’)”可知，这项新研究与之前研究的不同之处在于研究人员将身体的每个部分都分别对待。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After going through many comparisons, the researchers determined that the white parts of the giant panda help it hide in the snow. In contrast, its black arms and legs help it hide in the shadows, they said.(经过多次比较，研究人员确定大熊猫的白色部分有助于它在雪地里躲藏。他们说，相比之下，它黑色的胳膊和腿有助于它隐藏在阴影中。)”可知，大熊猫白色的部分有助于它在雪地里躲藏，而黑色的部分有助于它在阴影中躲藏，由此可推测出，大熊猫黑白的毛色有助于其躲藏。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Ted Stankowich的话“Sometimes it takes hundreds of hours of hard work to answer the simplest question: Why is the panda black and white (有时候，需要数百个小时的努力工作才能回答一个最简单的问题：为什么熊猫是黑白的？)”可推测出，要弄清楚你所看到的事物背后的原因需要花费努力。故选D。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Self-confidence: one’s belief that they can meet all the demands of a task. Some people are born with it, and everyone else is out of luck, right Wrong! Self-confidence is not something people are born with, like their height or bair color. ____16____ So, here are some good tips for building self-confidence.
One simple self-confidence builder is positive self-talk. ____17____ Telling yourself “I can’t do anything right” or asking “Why did I even try “ could ruin you. Instead, if you get a bad grade on a test, try saying “I do better next time.” Rather than focusing on your failure, identify ways that you can improve, and try again.
One of the enemies of self-confidence is comparing yourself to others. Thinking that you are better than other people won’t give you confidence. ____18____ Thinking you are worse than others won’t make you humble. It will fill you with envy. Fight back by being grateful. Keep a gratitude journal and write down all the things that you’re thankful for.
____19____ You might have a talent for public speaking. But how will you know if you never overcome your fears and try it Even if you fail, leaving your comfort zone can make you stronger. Don’t let fear become an obstacle in your journey toward excellence!
Finally, showing kindness to others is a great way to build self-confidence. Showing kindness reminds you that you can make a difference in the world. ____20____
A. Instead, it will make you too proud.
B. It’s a skill that anyone can start practicing today.
C. Show them how to deal with failure when it happens.
D. Facing your fears is another way to build self-confidence.
E. What you say to yourself influences how you feel about yourself.
F. This makes your praise more real by showing them their strengths.
G. When you make others feel good, you, in turn, feel good about yourself.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一些建立自信的办法。
【16题详解】
前文“Self-confidence is not something people are born with, like their height or bair color.(自信不是人与生俱来的东西，就像他们的身高或肤色一样。)”讲述了自信不是与生俱来的，后文“So, here are some good tips for building self-confidence.(所以，这里有一些建立自信的好建议。)”讲述了有些建立自信的好建议，由此可知，空处应讲述的是自信是可以经过训练培养起来的，B项“这是一项任何人今天都可以开始练习的技能。”符合题意，It指代前文中的Self-confidence。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Telling yourself ‘I can’t do anything right’ or asking ‘Why did I even try ’ could ruin you.(告诉自己‘我什么都做不好’，或者问‘我为什么要尝试？’可能会毁了你。)”可知，对自己说消极的话会毁了你自己，由此可知，E项“你对自己说的话会影响你对自己的感觉。”引出下文，且say to yourself对应前文中的self-talk。故选E。
【18题详解】
前文“Thinking that you are better than other people won’t give you confidence.(认为自己比别人强不会给你自信。)”讲述了认为自己比别人强不会让你感到自信，空处应说这样会带来的真正影响，A项“相反，这会让你过于骄傲。”符合题意。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据后文“You might have a talent for public speaking. But how will you know if you never overcome your fears and try it Even if you fail, leaving your comfort zone can make you stronger. Don’t let fear become an obstacle in your journey toward excellence!(你可能有公开演讲的天赋。但是，如果你从来没有克服过恐惧并尝试过，你怎么知道呢？即使你失败了，离开你的舒适区也能让你变得更强大。不要让恐惧成为你迈向卓越之旅的障碍！)”可知，本段主要讲述了要面对自己的恐惧，D项“直面恐惧是建立自信的另一种方式。”符合题意。故选D。
【20题详解】
前文“Finally, showing kindness to others is a great way to build self-confidence. Showing kindness reminds you that you can make a difference in the world.(最后，善待他人是建立自信的好方法。表现出善意会提醒你，你可以改变世界。)”讲述了善待他人有助于建立自信，它可以让你知道你可以改变世界，所以空处应讲述善待他人的好处，G项“当你让别人感觉良好时，反过来你也会对自己感觉良好。”符合题意，选项中的make others feel good照应前文中的showing kindness to others。故选G。

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。
“What will we be singing for competition this year ” a student from my high school choir asked eagerly. I was really worried about this moment. “I was thinking,” I said, “maybe we’ll skip the competition and just work hard on the concerts this year.”
“NO!” the kids disagreed. “We want to compete! For the First Place! It’s a tradition!”
This was true. Medals on the front wall of the music room were won by my former excellent students. But they had graduated, leaving me with only twenty-two young students, inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music, and could sing only a simple melody (乐章).
“Maybe we could win the Second Place this year,” I suggested. I knew even that would be a near-impossible task, thinking our competitors: two famous schools with fifty members each. “No!” the kids screamed. “The First Place!”
I shook my head. “First Place is extremely difficult.”
“We can do it!” they shouted. “We can do it!”
“I’ll think about it,” I said, hoping their eagerness would die off in a couple of weeks.
But that didn’t happen. Instead, the class became more determined. Every day they asked and begged. As a teacher, I couldn’t tell them they weren’t good enough. To cool their eagerness, I showed them a difficult piece of music from the competition list, but it simply ended with “It’s okay, Mrs. Pliszka. We’ll make it. ”
I struggled to make a decision. If I destroyed their hope, would I destroy their spirit I remembered one of my college professor’s saying, "Every child will learn if the teacher is willing to try his or her best as the student.” I wasn’t afraid of hard work, and I enjoyed a challenge. But I wasn’t a magic worker. And so, I think seriously over this challenge.

【答案】
Finally, one morning I made the decision. I stormed into class and declared we would sing for the contest and entered Class A. The rest of my sentence was lost in screams of delight and applause. As the weeks progressed , each morning the kids practised singing, worked on reading music, learned musical terms, practiced rhythm and marked changes, prepared concert music, and went over and over the three contest numbers. Their progress was so remarkable even I began believing in their dream. Seven months into the school year, when the contest day finally arrived, the kids felt ready to take on the world!
When my group stepped on the stage, I could clearly notice distrust from the audience saying my group was so small. I mouthed, “Smile!” They looked confident. I took a deep breath, and we began.They performed masterfully. Two very long hours later the results were posted. I stood frozen, staring at the list in disbelief: a First Place award with the highest marks of all.All around kids were screaming and embracing. Warm tears wet my cheeks. I was surrounded by kids who had a dream—kids who refused to give up—kids who taught me to never doubt the possibility of success for any student or any class ever again.

It was early November in 2013 when Ronan Renz Napoto and his family in Eastern Visayas, Philippines, heard over the news that there was a typhoon coming. “Living in the Pacific, we’re used to having typhoons so we weren’t very worried,” he said. When Typhoon Haiyan hit, they were unprepared for its violence. For years after, Ronan would have nightmares of the day. “Everything keeps on flashing back to me. It’s still painful to remember those events,” he said.
It was his journey to overcome those difficulties that led Ronan down the path of climate advocacy (宣传组). He started to actively volunteer with Greenpeace, participating in designing posters and helping with organizing activities. Ronan also took part in influencing policy makers in his community about creating effective environmental and plastic policies. His most memorable activity with Greenpeace is also the one closest to his heart, and that is collecting stories about typhoon from the different communities.
“It reminds me that behind the science of climate change, there are real people with real stories,” Ronan said. “Data are important but we don’t want to be just remembered as numbers, we want to be remembered and our stories to be remembered about who we are and how we struggled.”
Ronan, is also the founder of Balud, a youth-led organization. “Coming from the disaster- affected area, I wanted to highlight the youth leaders from outside the big cities. In Balud, we create more opportunities for young people who are coming from vulnerable (易受伤害的) communities so that everybody knows that we also have powerful stories behind the science of climate change,” he said.
The process has not been easy for the young man, but Ronan’s determination and passion keeps him focused on his job. “We have in our local language the word Padayon, which means ‘to keep going’.”
4. What do we know about Ronan after Typhoon Haiyan
A. He kept recalling that day. B. He was in the least worried.
C. He was given mental treatment. D. He prepared well for the next typhoon.
5. What activity of Green peace impresses Ronan most
A. Helping with organizing activities. B. Taking part in designing posters.
C. Making influential policies. D. Collecting stories about typhoon.
6. What does Ronan say about Balud
A. Itraises young people’s awareness of protecting wildlife.
B. It provides more job opportunities for young people in big cities.
C It highlights the role of young people in fighting climate change.
D. It offers help to young people coming from poor communities.
7. Which of the following best describes Ronan
A. Passionate and determined. B. Intelligent and careful.
C. Helpful and independent. D. Brave and generous
C
Sui Xin and her friends spend an afternoon roasting nuts and fruits around a stove (炉子) while enjoying freshly brewed (冲泡的) tea. For the 28-year-old, this has become a new way to connect with friends away from the busy daily life in Beijing. This traditional practice of tea brewing over a fire has been shown in many Chinese paintings, poetry and literary works. However, in recent years, it has appealed to more and more young people in China as a way to make healthy habits become a part of modern lifestyles.
To promote tea culture among younger generations, traditional teahouses have changed to new-style Chinese teahouses. Some teahouses have created new social scenes by providing unique tea experiences and well-designed comfortable spaces for drinking tea. The decoration of some stores features a combination of traditional Chinese styles and youthful design, such as Heytea’s Zhongguancun store in Beijing. The store’s designer made the roof elements of traditional Beijing buildings become a part of the modern tea space, creating a unique combination of old and new.
Sun Xuling, co-founder of Theatre Tea, observed that people’s awareness of their health has showed in their preference for seasonal teas and drinks with less sweetness. At Theatre Tea, tea-flavored dessert is one of their specialties, which is always ordered together with their drinks. Sun notes that there has been a clear increase in people’s awareness of Chinese tea in the past two years. To cater to the need of young people, Theatre Tea is planning on opening a tea experience store, which will enable customers to try the different ways of making tea and to learn more about tea culture.
The exploration of new combinations between traditional tea culture pop culture, and modern life is an exciting and important trend in China. With the increasing popularity of Chinese tea, tea makers and teahouses are continuously finding new ways to promote the cultures to younger generations while preserving its traditional customs.
8. What can be inferred about brewing tea over a charcoal fire in Paragraph 1
A. It is a practice originating in Tang dynasty.
B. It gains greater popularity among young people.
C. It is helpful to protect people from diseases.
D It first appeared in the area of Beijing.

A. It was designed and built by famous young architects.
B. It offers tea-flavored dessert and drinks with less sweetness.

But why does it have this unique coloring To hide from natural enemies, both in the snow and in the shadows, study lead author Tim Caro, a professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fish & Conservation Biology at the University of California, Davis, said in a new statement. Moreover, the large black circles around a panda’s eyes may help other pandas recognize it, the researchers said.
Understanding why the giant panda has such noticeable color has been a long-term problem to solve. To find out the answer, Caro and his colleagues looked at photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore(食肉动物) species, including 39 subspecies of bear. Then, they recorded the coloring on each area of those animals’ bodies, and compared them with areas of the panda’s body. “Compared with the previous studies, the breakthrough in this study was treating each part of the body as an independent area,” Caro said.
The research team tried to figure out the purpose of the dark-colored furry areas. After going through many comparisons, the researchers determined that the white parts of the giant panda help it hide in the snow. In contrast, its black arms and legs help it hide in the shadows, they said. The panda’s white-and-black coloring didn’t appear to be related to temperature regulation. Nor did they find evidence that the dark circles around a panda’s eyes helped to make them look cuter.
“This really was a great effort by our team, finding and scoring thousands of images and scoring more than 10 areas per picture from over 20 possible colors,” study co-author Ted Stankowich, an assistant professor of biology at California State University, Long Beach, said in the statement. “Sometimes it takes hundreds of hours of hard work to answer the simplest question: Why is the panda black and white ”

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。
“What will we be singing for competition this year ” a student from my high school choir asked eagerly. I was really worried about this moment. “I was thinking,” I said, “maybe we’ll skip the competition and just work hard on the concerts this year.”
“NO!” the kids disagreed. “We want to compete! For the First Place! It’s a tradition!”
This was true. Medals on the front wall of the music room were won by my former excellent students. But they had graduated, leaving me with only twenty-two young students, inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music, and could sing only a simple melody (乐章).
“Maybe we could win the Second Place this year,” I suggested. I knew even that would be a near-impossible task, thinking our competitors: two famous schools with fifty members each. “No!” the kids screamed. “The First Place!”
I shook my head. “First Place is extremely difficult.”
“We can do it!” they shouted. “We can do it!”
“I’ll think about it,” I said, hoping their eagerness would die off in a couple of weeks.
But that didn’t happen. Instead, the class became more determined. Every day they asked and begged. As a teacher, I couldn’t tell them they weren’t good enough. To cool their eagerness, I showed them a difficult piece of music from the competition list, but it simply ended with “It’s okay, Mrs. Pliszka. We’ll make it. ”
I struggled to make a decision. If I destroyed their hope, would I destroy their spirit I remembered one of my college professor’s saying, "Every child will learn if the teacher is willing to try his or her best as the student.” I wasn’t afraid of hard work, and I enjoyed a challenge. But I wasn’t a magic worker. And so, I think seriously over this challenge.
