【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Last class, we talked about different diet cultures all over the world. Today, I will tell you something about the different table manners in different places around the world. Do you know how to behave at the table And how should we use knives and forks in a formal Western meal
When having a meal, Europeans usually hold the knife in the right hand, and the fork in the left. They use the knife and fork with both hands and keep them in their hands until they finish eating.
But Americans, on the other hand, may use just one hand whenever possible and keep the other hand on their lap. They use the fork in their right hand to pick up fried potatoes. When they have to cut meat, they change the fork to the left hand and cut it. Then, they put down the knife and change the fork to their right hand to pick up the sliced meat. Then, perhaps, they will suddenly think of their coffee or orange juice. So they have to put down their fork in order to drink the coffee or orange juice. As you can see, Americans are busy at the dinner table.
Europeans usually have their coffee after meals, but most Americans prefer to have coffee during the meal. If you are present at a formal dinner, you might be confused to find many forks, knives and spoons put before you. You might be lost as to what to do with them. But don’t worry. There’s a simple rule. You just use them in the order in which they lie – working from the outside in.
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑
A
National parks like Yellowstone are popular destinations for both family vacations and adventure trips alike. But there are some places that simply don’t get the love that they deserve despite the fact that they are truly impressive.
Isle Royale National Park
Located in the heart of Lake Superior, Isle Royale requires a bit of work to reach, but it is well worth the effort. Access is permitted only via daily ferries, which is why larger parks like Yellowstone see more visitors in a day than Isle Royale sees in a year. Wildlife like wolves are frequently spotted by hikers along the park’s scenic trails.
Dry Tortugas National Park
Another island park, the Dry Tortugas can be found 68 miles to the southwest of the Florida Keys. Accessible only by boat or plane, this park is actually quite small, but it’s packed with history, abundant sea life, and amazing coral reefs. At the center of the park is Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry(砖石)structure in the Western Hemisphere.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Covering more than 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. system. Remote and mostly undeveloped, this is a park that demands more from its visitors, after all there are just two roads that lead into it. But in return, it gives them a special connection with nature that simply isn’t found anywhere else.
Big Bend National Park
Travelers looking for a truly wild experience should have Big Bend National Park on their bucket lists. Big Bend is well known for its whitewater rafting camping, and hiking although during the summer months it can be intensely warm, keeping many visitors away.
21. What is the main reason for fewer visitors to Isle Royale National Park
A. The terrible work. B. The dangerous wolves.
C. The remote location. D. The inconvenient transport.
22. Which park will you visit if you are interested in history
A. Big Bend National Park. B. Isle Royale National Park.
C. Dry Tortugas National Park. D. Wrangell St. Elias National Park.
23. How is Wrangell-St. Elias National Park different from the other three parks
A. With its wide roads. B. With its large area.
C. With its beautiful scenery. D. With its special visitors
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几个游客很少游览，但是确实令人印象深刻的国家公园。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Isle Royale National Park部分中的“Located in the heart of Lake Superior, Isle Royale requires a bit of work to reach, but it is well worth the effort. Access is permitted only via daily ferries, which is why larger parks like Yellowstone see more visitors in a day than Isle Royale sees in a year. (皇家岛位于苏必利尔湖的中心地带，需要花费一些功夫才能到达，但这是值得的。只能通过每日渡轮进入，这就是为什么像黄石公园这样的大型公园一天接待的游客数量比皇家岛一年接待的游客数量还要多)”可知，皇家岛国家公园（Isle Royale National Park）游客较少的主要原因是交通不方便。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Dry Tortugas National Park部分中的“Accessible only by boat or plane, this park is actually quite small, but it’s packed with history, abundant sea life, and amazing coral reefs. (这个公园只能乘船或飞机到达，实际上很小，但它充满了历史、丰富的海洋生物和令人惊叹的珊瑚礁)”可知，如果你对历史感兴趣，你会去Dry Tortugas National Park，故选C。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Wrangell-St. Elias National Park部分中的“Covering more than 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. system. (兰格尔—圣埃利亚斯国家公园占地超过 1320 万英亩，是整个美国系统中最大的国家公园)”可知，Wrangell-St. Elias国家公园与其他三个公园不同之处在于：它是最大的国家公园，故选B。
B
Zero-emission cars are soaring in popularity but running an electric vehicle is next to impossible in places with limited charging facilities. Stella Terra, the world’s first SUV solar-powered vehicle, could change that. It uses solar panels on its sloping roof to charge its electric battery, meaning it can drive long distances powered entirely by the sun.
“Built by a team of 22 students at Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE), it could help connect remote areas ‘where roads are less developed and electricity is not as reliable’, and assist with emergency aid and deliveries,” says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the team.
Electric SUVs are heavier than standard electric vehicles, and require bigger, heavier batteries to power them. “Where the SUV market currently innovates on the previous models, we really start from scratch and design everything ourselves,” says Bosman. Minimizing the vehicle’s weight was essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element extremely efficient.
The team tested the vehicle in Morocco earlier this month, driving more than 1,000 kilometers between the country’s northern coast and the Sahara Desert in the south. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance,” says Bosman, adding that the car was tested on every type of surface that a car like this could encounter.
Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rough ground, and put less stress on its suspension.
Bosman and his peers hope their concept SUV could be mass produced in the near future. “We aim to also inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman. “It’s up to the market now, which has the resources and the power to make this change and the switch to more sustainable vehicles.”
24. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To advertise Stella Terra. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To state the background information. D. To recommend solar panels.
25. What is the key to building Stella Terra
A. Referring to previous models. B. Making the most of each student.
C. Designing a bigger and efficient battery. D. Reducing the weight of the car.
26. How did Stella Terra perform during its test drive in Morocco
A. It ran smoothly on uneven ground. B. It broke down after 1,000 kilometers.
C. It performed poorly on the Sahara Desert. D. It performed better than expected.
27. What does Bosman say about Stella Terra
A. It will be used by emergency services.
B. It consists of more sustainable designs.
C. It benefits places with insufficient electricity.
D. It has been accepted by automotive companies.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D 27. B
【解析】

24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Zero-emission cars are soaring in popularity but running an electric vehicle is next to impossible in places with limited charging facilities. Stella Terra, the world’s first SUV solar-powered vehicle, could change that. It uses solar panels on its sloping roof to charge its electric battery, meaning it can drive long distances powered entirely by the sun.(零排放汽车越来越受欢迎，但在充电设施有限的地方，驾驶电动汽车几乎是不可能的。世界上第一款SUV太阳能汽车Stella Terra可能会改变这一现状。它在倾斜的屋顶上使用太阳能电池板为电池充电，这意味着它可以完全由太阳能驱动长距离行驶)”可知，本段的目的是推出主题，介绍世界上第一款SUV太阳能汽车Stella Terra。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Minimizing the vehicle’s weight was essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element extremely efficient.(将车辆的重量降到最低是至关重要的，由22名学生组成的团队专注于使每个元素都非常高效)”可知，Stella Terra的关键是减轻汽车的重量。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rough ground, and put less stress on its suspension.(博斯曼指出，事实证明，这辆车的效率比预期的要高三分之一，而且它的轻量化设计使它更不容易在崎岖的地面上卡住，也减轻了悬挂系统的压力)”可知，Stella Terra在摩洛哥的试驾中，它的表现好于预期。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Bosman and his peers hope their concept SUV could be mass produced in the near future. “We aim to also inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman. “It’s up to the market now, which has the resources and the power to make this change and the switch to more sustainable vehicles.”(博斯曼和他的同行们希望他们的概念SUV能在不久的将来量产。博斯曼说：“我们的目标不仅是激励普通人，也要激励汽车行业，比如福特和克莱斯勒，让他们重新思考自己的设计，比现在更快地创新。”“现在取决于市场，市场有资源和力量来做出这种改变，转向更可持续的汽车。”)”可知，博斯曼是认为Stella Terra包含了更可持续的设计。故选B项。
C
One day in March 2008, I made a big decision. I decided to shut down my law practice and travel around the world in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance booking of any kind.
When I made this hare-brained plan, I didn’t mean to have an ever lasting life on the road. I was planning to come back after my year of travel, open a new law practice and write a hugely successful book about my adventure.
I set off on my adventure in December 2008 and I found travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to travel around the world in 16 months made it even harder. Even so, traveling overland was the most amazing way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.
I took three overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out of the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled (未遭破坏的) plains (平原), as if humans had never touched it.
It took seven days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent looking out of the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for ten hours. Later in my journey, it took me 22 days to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia to finish my round-the-world adventure.
It turned out that travelling with no advance booking was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions for accommodations and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me free and open about all my travel plans which is the advice I give to everyone who asks plan far less than you think you should.
28. What does the underlined word “hare-brained” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Clever. B. Secret. C. Crazy. D. Detailed.
29. What is an advantage of travelling around the world without using planes
A. Lower travel costs. B. Longer stays in each country.
C. Better appreciation of the world. D. More favourable accommodations.
30. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He had a taste for adventure. B. He finished his global travel as planned.
C. He became a writer after his global travel. D. He planned his travel carefully in advance.
31. What did the author think of his around-the-world tour
A. Challenging but satisfying. B. Dangerous but wonderful.
C. Boring and risky. D. Costly and tiring.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了2008年3月，作者决定停止律师事务所，在一年内环游世界，并且不打算坐飞机。讲述了旅途中的所见所闻以及感悟。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“One day in March 2008, I made a big decision. I decided to shut down my law practice and travel around the world in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance booking of any kind.(2008年3月的一天，我做了一个重大决定。我决定停止我的律师事务所，在一年内环游世界。更重要的是，我不会乘坐任何航班，也不会提前预订任何一种机票)”可知，作者打算不坐飞机环游世界，可知是一个疯狂的计划。故划线词意思是“疯狂的”。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Even so, traveling overland was the most amazing way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.(即便如此，陆路旅行是真正了解我们这个奇妙星球的最神奇的方式)”可知，不用飞机环游世界的好处是可以更好地欣赏世界。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I took three overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out of the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled (未遭破坏的) plains (平原), as if humans had never touched it.(我坐了三辆通宵巴士，从乌斯怀亚到首都布宜诺斯艾利斯，在阿根廷旅行了3000公里。我常常一连几个小时望着窗外那片完全未受破坏的平原，仿佛人类从未碰过它似的)”以及倒数第二段“It took seven days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent looking out of the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for ten hours. (从莫斯科到北京坐了七天七夜的火车，每天都要花几个小时看着窗外的西伯利亚平原掠过。有时，我10个小时都看不到一个村庄或一个人)”结合作者孤身一人，不坐飞机环游世界，推测作者喜欢冒险。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It turned out that travelling with no advance booking was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions for accommodations and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me free and open about all my travel plans which is the advice I give to everyone who asks plan far less than you think you should.(事实证明，没有提前预订的旅行远没有我想象的那么困难。带着背包坐公共汽车进入一个城市，在旅游指南上寻找一些住宿建议，然后找到一个空房间，这在任何地方都不是什么大问题。这也让我对我所有的旅行计划保持自由和开放，这是我给每个问我的人的建议——计划远远少于你认为你应该做的)”可推知，作者认为他的环球旅行具有挑战性但令人满意。故选A。
D
Recently, economist Francisca Antman makes a convincing case that the explosion of tea as an everyman’s drink in late 1700s England saved many lives. This would not have been because of any beneficial substances of the leaf. Instead, the simple practice of boiling water for tea, in an era before people understood that illness could be caused by water-borne pathogens (病原体), may have been enough to keep many from an early grave.
Between 1761 and 1834, the annual death rate decreased considerably, but wages didn’t seem to have risen much and standards of living arguably didn’t increase. Actually, with the rise of the industrial revolution, many people crowded into towns whose sanitation (卫生条件) left much to be desired. Some historians suggested that boiling water for tea might have played a role in this decrease.
“With people coming into cities to work, given the level of sanitation they have, the big killer is water.” says Antman. Using data from over 400 English districts, relating water sources and quality with death rates, she found the key date is 1785 when tea suddenly became affordable for the majority of Britons. There were many things to recommend tea as a drink of the common people: you could make a satisfying drink with just a few leaves, which could be reused for multiple pots, and tea was potentially cheaper than beer, which became expensive both by the complex making process and by a tax on malt (麦芽). She found that deaths dropped in all districts, but those with bad water saw death rates drop 18% more than those with good water.
Interestingly,while there wasn’t a noticeable decrease in deaths among children aged two to five — who typically didn’t consume much tea — there was a slight fall in infant deaths, perhaps reflecting the fact that if tea-drinking parents had less diarrheal (腹泻) disease, their very young children might have been protected a bit as well.
32. What might contribute to decreased death rates according to some historians
A. Desirable sanitation. B. Less water-related disease.
C. Industrial revolution. D. Beneficial substances in tea.
33. Why did the majority of Britons in 1785 turn to tea
A. Because it tasted better than beer. B. Because it was less costly and reusable.
C. Because people needn’t pay any tax on it. D. Because people enjoyed its making process.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Drinking tea has tittle influence on young children.
B. Children can also drink tea to protect themselves from diarrheal disease.
C. Parents’ tea-drinking habits may have a positive effect on their children.
D. Death rates of children didn’t drop due to their lack of tea-drinking habits.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Why people need to boil water to make tea.
B. Why British develop a love for drinking tea.
C. How tea gains increasing popularity in Britain.
D. How Britain’s taste for tea may have saved lives.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。最近，经济学家弗朗西斯卡·安特曼提出了一个令人信服的案例，证明茶在1700年代末的英国迅速成为普通人的饮料，并拯救了许多生命。这并不是因为叶子中含有任何有益物质。相反，在人们认识到疾病可能是由水传播的病原体引起的时代之前，简单的煮水泡茶的做法可能足以让许多人免于早逝。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Between 1761 and 1834, the annual death rate decreased considerably, but wages didn’t seem to have risen much and standards of living arguably didn’t increase. Actually, with the rise of the industrial revolution, many people crowded into towns whose sanitation (卫生条件) left much to be desired. Some historians suggested that boiling water for tea might have played a role in this decrease.(1761年至1834年间，年死亡率大幅下降，但工资似乎并没有增加太多，生活水平也可以说没有提高。事实上，随着工业革命的兴起，许多人涌入卫生条件不尽如人意的城镇。一些历史学家认为，沸水泡茶可能是导致这种下降的原因之一)”可知，当时死亡率下降，但是工业革命化，人们的卫生条件并没有改善，所以A项“卫生条件理想”，C项“工业革命”不是死亡率下降的原因，根据第一段中“This would not have been because of any beneficial substances of the leaf. (这并不是因为叶子中含有任何有益物质)”可知，茶中并没有有益物质，D项不对；根据第一段中“Instead, the simple practice of boiling water for tea, in an era before people understood that illness could be caused by water-borne pathogens (病原体), may have been enough to keep many from an early grave.(相反，在人们认识到疾病可能是由水传播的病原体引起的时代之前，简单的煮水泡茶的做法可能足以让许多人免于早逝)”可知，许多疾病都是由水传播的，而人们用沸水煮茶，这切断了病原体传播。由此推知，与水相关的疾病越来越少，这导致死亡率下降。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Using data from over 400 English districts, relating water sources and quality with death rates, she found the key date is 1785 when tea suddenly became affordable for the majority of Britons. There were many things to recommend tea as a drink of the common people: you could make a satisfying drink with just a few leaves, which could be reused for multiple pots, and tea was potentially cheaper than beer, which became expensive both by the complex making process and by a tax on malt (麦芽). (她利用来自400多个英国地区的数据，将水资源和水质与死亡率联系起来，发现关键日期是1785年，当时大多数英国人突然买得起茶。茶作为老百姓的饮料有很多值得推荐的地方：几片叶子就可以泡出令人满意的饮料，可以重复使用多个壶，而且茶可能比啤酒便宜，啤酒因复杂而变得昂贵制作过程和麦芽税)”可知，1785年大多数英国人转向喝茶，这是因为茶成本较低且可重复使用。故选B。

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Interestingly,while there wasn’t a noticeable decrease in deaths among children aged two to five-who typically didn’t consume much tea- there was a slight fall in infant deaths, perhaps reflecting the fact that if tea-drinking parents had less diarrheal (腹泻) disease, their very young children might have been protected a bit as well.(有趣的是，虽然2至5岁儿童（通常不喝太多茶）的死亡率没有明显下降，但婴儿死亡率略有下降，这可能反映了这样一个事实：如果喝茶的父母腹泻较少，他们年幼的孩子也可能得到一些保护)”可推知，父母的饮茶习惯可能会对他们的孩子产生好的影响。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Recently, economist Francisca Antman makes a convincing case that the explosion of tea as an everyman’s drink in late 1700s England saved many lives. This would not have been because of any beneficial substances of the leaf. Instead, the simple practice of boiling water for tea, in an era before people understood that illness could be caused by water-borne pathogens (病原体), may have been enough to keep many from an early grave.(最近，经济学家弗朗西斯卡·安特曼提出了一个令人信服的案例，证明茶在1700年代末的英国迅速成为普通人的饮料，并拯救了许多生命。这并不是因为叶子中含有任何有益物质。相反，在人们认识到疾病可能是由水传播的病原体引起的时代之前，简单的煮水泡茶的做法可能足以让许多人免于早逝)”可知，经济学家指出在1700年代末的英国迅速成为普通人的饮料，并拯救了许多生命，文章主要解释了英国人热爱喝茶的原因——喝茶拯救了许多人的生命。故选B。

Leave-No-Trace Camping
For those of us who love spending time in the great outdoors, wild spaces are very special. These are places we visit to recharge, or to fill our hearts with natural beauty.___36___If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.
Its principles are to treat the wilderness the way a decent visitor would and leave everything just as you found it, with no evidence that you passed through.___37___That’s because your visit makes a minimal impact on the environment.
You can carry out these ideals in a number of ways. Begin by packing out all your litter. Whenever you go camping, take an empty trash bag with you and put all garbage into the bag. In addition, try not to damage vegetation.___38___Wherever you go, think about what your heavy shoes or boots are doing to the plants underneath and try to keep damage to a minimum.
It’s also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape.___39___Plus, many animals find homes and food in abandoned shells and flower-heads, and these are things they would miss if you collected them.
Leave-No-Trace camping is about being respectful and thoughtful. It’s about honoring the natural world and the creatures that live in it. If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers, then you’ve already taken the first step.___40___
A. This means not stepping into a wild animal’s space.
B. This is also called “low impact” or “no impact” camping.
C. Once taken away, they won’t be there for others to enjoy.
D. An increasing number of people take up camping in the wilderness.
E. When you put up your tent, try to find a place that’s already bare of plants.
F. We hate to see them littered with rubbish or any reminders of previous visitors.
G. Follow these basic practices and you can be models of the Leave-No-Trace philosophy.
【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. C 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了践行“不留痕迹”露营的注意事项。
【36题详解】
下文“If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.(如果你有这种感觉，那么你就是推广和实践“不留痕迹”露营的最佳人选)”说明了一种条件，故上文需要指明“feel this way”是什么感觉，F项“We hate to see them littered with rubbish or any reminders of previous visitors.(我们不愿看到它们到处都是垃圾，也不愿看到任何提醒我们以前来过的人的东西)”照应下文“feel this way”，衔接恰当。故选F项。
【37题详解】
下文“That’s because your visit makes a minimal impact on the environment.(这是因为你的参观对环境的影响很小)”指明了一件事情的原因，B项“This is also called “low impact” or “no impact” camping.(这也被称为“低影响”或“无影响”露营)”中的“This”照应上文“Leave-No-Trace camping”，并与下文构成因果关系，因为你的参观对环境的影响很小，所以它又被称为“低影响”或“无影响”露营。故选B项。
【38题详解】
上文“In addition, try not to damage vegetation.(另外，尽量不要破坏植被)”说明露营时，要保护植被，E项“When you put up your tent, try to find a place that’s already bare of plants.(当你搭帐篷的时候，尽量找一个没有植物的地方)”用具体的事例说明如何做到不破坏植被，衔接恰当。故选E项。
【39题详解】
上文“It’s also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape.(同样重要的是，你不应该从野外拿走东西。岩石、植物、花朵和贝壳都是自然景观的一部分)”说明不应该带走野外生长的东西，C项“Once taken away, they won’t be there for others to enjoy.(一旦被拿走，别人就无法再那里欣赏到它们了)”衔接上文，说明带走野外生长的东西会导致的结果，“they”指代上文“Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells”，符合句意。故选C项。
【40题详解】
上文“If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers, then you’ve already taken the first step.(如果你喜欢看一条未受污染的山间溪流或一片美丽的野花，那么你已经迈出了第一步)”说明有欣赏自然之美的心就是实践“不留痕迹”露营的第一步，G项“Follow these basic practices and you can be models of the Leave-No-Trace philosophy.(遵循这些基本做法，你就可以成为践行不留痕迹露营的典范)”段尾句总结了全文内容，“these basic practices”指代上文提到的一切尊重和体贴大自然的举动，并照应开头“If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.(如果你有这种感觉，那么你就是推广和实践“不留痕迹”露营的最佳人选)”符合句意。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了气候活动家麦格雷戈(Edgar McGregor)连续数百天在伊顿峡谷(Eaton Canyon)捡扔在路上的垃圾。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：气候活动家麦格雷戈连续数百天在伊顿峡谷(Eaton Canyon)捡扔在路上的垃圾，伊顿峡谷是加利福尼亚州南部洛杉矶国家森林的一部分。分析句子可知，空处应作后置定语修饰名词litter，且与被修饰词构成被动关系，故用过去分词作形式。故填dropped。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：麦格雷戈在推特上发布了自己的进展，并致力于清理垃圾。分析句子可知，此处是while引导的状语从句的省略，从句中动词post与主句主语McGregor是主动关系，故用现在分词的形式。故填posting。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：他的推特账号迅速从一个关注者增加到17000多人！分析句子可知，空处应填名词follower“追随者”在句中作宾语，前面有one修饰，用单数，故填follower。
【59题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：洛杉矶将在2028年举办奥运会的消息激励着麦格雷戈开始了这段旅程。分析句子可知，空处应填连词that引导同位语从句，且that在从句中不作成分也没有意义，但是不能省略。故填that。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意：许多人感谢他的工作，因为这个地区现在没有垃圾。be thankful for“因为……而感激”是固定短语。故填for。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：最近，麦格雷戈公开宣布，该地区已不再存在垃圾。分析句子可知，空处应用副词作状语修饰动词announced。故填publicly。
【62题详解】
考查不定式。句意：然而，他的工作并没有结束。他计划回到那里去保持那里的清洁。分析句子可知，空处应用不定式在句中作目的状语。故填to maintain。
【63题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意：无论是酷热还是倾盆大雨，我每天都会在那里至少呆一个小时，清理我的区域。whether...or...“无论……还是……，不管……还是……”是固定搭配，引导让步状语从句，故填whether。
【64题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：他发现的所有可回收物都被上缴，这些钱都捐给了慈善机构。根据finds可知，句子应用一般现在时。所填动词turn与句子主语All构成被动关系，All of the recyclables 在这里指代复数名词，故用一般现在时被动语态，be用are。故填are turned。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：到目前为止，世界中央厨房和乌干达农村学校等许多组织都收到了麦格雷戈的捐款。分析句子可知，空处应填名词在句中作主语，前面有many修饰，应用复数形式。故填organizations。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 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。
At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash it all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her from the table around the corner.
This boy was in rough shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and his face had streaks (条痕) of dirt on it. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal too long. When the lady left, the boy saw his chance, He quickly sat down and started wolfing down the leftovers (吃剩的食物) like it was the best meal he’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watched the boy for a second. The boy got scared, stopped eating, and tears started to fill his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank.
The boy got up to leave, but before he could get far, the waiter came back and asked the boy to wait for a moment. The waiter gave him a full and fresh meal.
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。
The whole cafe went quiet when they saw what was happening.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The boy, with a full stomach and a happy heart, looked as if he couldn’t thank the waiter enough.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
The whole cafe went quiet when they saw what was happening. Then out of nowhere, people started clapping. It was like something from a movie. Everyone was smiling and looking at the boy enjoying his surprise meal. As the boy ate, the people in the cafe started walking up to the waiter and giving him some money. They were tipping him, but it wasn’t just a few coins; they were super generous. It was like the waiter’s kindness had the leading function, and now everyone wanted to offer him some money.
The boy, with a full stomach and a happy heart, looked as if he couldn’t thank the waiter enough. Perhaps this was the first time he had had such a delicious meal. At the same time, the waiter gave the boy all the money he received just now and encouraged him, “Everything will be OK. Never give up.” The boy was so moved that he couldn’t say any words. He knew that without the waiter’s kind act, he couldn’t have had a full meal. They didn’t talk much, but it didn’t matter. They were just two people sharing a quiet moment together, and it felt like they understood each other perfectly.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个小男孩看到一位女士在柜台付钱离开了，便去吃她剩下的食物。他迅速坐下来，狼吞虎咽地吃剩下的饭菜，就像这是他吃过的最好的一顿饭一样。然后，服务员走了过来，他一开始什么也没说，只是看了一会，男孩感到害怕，停止吃东西，泪水开始充满了他的眼睛。他以为服务员肯定会把他赶出去。相反，服务员拿走了吃了一半的盘子，男孩的心一沉。男孩起身要离开，但他还没走多远，服务员就回来了，让男孩等一会儿。服务员给了他一顿丰盛而新鲜的饭菜。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当他们看到发生的事情时，整个咖啡馆都安静下来了。”可知，第一段可描写咖啡馆里的人们看到这一幕之后所做的事情。
②由第二段首句内容“男孩吃得很饱，心情很好，看起来他对服务员的感激之情溢于言表。”可知，第二段可描写服务员如何处理人们给的小费并且鼓励男孩的过程。
2.续写线索：人们开始鼓掌——看着男孩享受大餐——人们走向服务员，给小费——服务员把小费给男孩——鼓励男孩——男孩感动

National parks like Yellowstone are popular destinations for both family vacations and adventure trips alike. But there are some places that simply don’t get the love that they deserve despite the fact that they are truly impressive.
Isle Royale National Park
Located in the heart of Lake Superior, Isle Royale requires a bit of work to reach, but it is well worth the effort. Access is permitted only via daily ferries, which is why larger parks like Yellowstone see more visitors in a day than Isle Royale sees in a year. Wildlife like wolves are frequently spotted by hikers along the park’s scenic trails.
Dry Tortugas National Park
Another island park, the Dry Tortugas can be found 68 miles to the southwest of the Florida Keys. Accessible only by boat or plane, this park is actually quite small, but it’s packed with history, abundant sea life, and amazing coral reefs. At the center of the park is Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry(砖石)structure in the Western Hemisphere.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Covering more than 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. system. Remote and mostly undeveloped, this is a park that demands more from its visitors, after all there are just two roads that lead into it. But in return, it gives them a special connection with nature that simply isn’t found anywhere else.
Big Bend National Park
Travelers looking for a truly wild experience should have Big Bend National Park on their bucket lists. Big Bend is well known for its whitewater rafting camping and hiking although during the summer months it can be intensely warm, keeping many visitors away.
21. What is the main reason for fewer visitors to Isle Royale National Park
A. The terrible work. B. The dangerous wolves.
C. The remote location. D. The inconvenient transport.
22. Which park will you visit if you are interested in history
A. Big Bend National Park. B. Isle Royale National Park.
C. Dry Tortugas National Park. D. Wrangell St. Elias National Park.
23. How is Wrangell-St. Elias National Park different from the other three parks
A. With its wide roads. B. With its large area.
C. With its beautiful scenery. D. With its special visitors
B
Zero-emission cars are soaring in popularity but running an electric vehicle is next to impossible in places with limited charging facilities. Stella Terra, the world’s first SUV solar-powered vehicle, could change that. It uses solar panels on its sloping roof to charge its electric battery, meaning it can drive long distances powered entirely by the sun.
“Built by a team of 22 students at Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE), it could help connect remote areas ‘where roads are less developed and electricity is not as reliable’, and assist with emergency aid and deliveries,” says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the team.
Electric SUVs are heavier than standard electric vehicles, and require bigger, heavier batteries to power them. “Where the SUV market currently innovates on the previous models, we really start from scratch and design everything ourselves,” says Bosman. Minimizing the vehicle’s weight was essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element extremely efficient.
The team tested the vehicle in Morocco earlier this month, driving more than 1,000 kilometers between the country’s northern coast and the Sahara Desert in the south. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance,” says Bosman, adding that the car was tested on every type of surface that a car like this could encounter.
Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rough ground, and put less stress on its suspension.
Bosman and his peers hope their concept SUV could be mass produced in the near future. “We aim to also inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman. “It’s up to the market now, which has the resources and the power to make this change and the switch to more sustainable vehicles.”
24. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To advertise Stella Terra. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To state the background information. D. To recommend solar panels.
25. What is the key to building Stella Terra
A. Referring to previous models. B. Making the most of each student.
C. Designing a bigger and efficient battery. D. Reducing the weight of the car.
26. How did Stella Terra perform during its test drive in Morocco
A. It ran smoothly on uneven ground. B. It broke down after 1,000 kilometers.
C. It performed poorly on the Sahara Desert. D. It performed better than expected.
27. What does Bosman say about Stella Terra
A. It will be used by emergency services.
B. It consists of more sustainable designs.
C. It benefits places with insufficient electricity.
D. It has been accepted by automotive companies.
C
One day in March 2008, I made a big decision. I decided to shut down my law practice and travel around the world in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance booking of any kind.
When I made this hare-brained plan, I didn’t mean to have an ever lasting life on the road. I was planning to come back after my year of travel, open a new law practice and write a hugely successful book about my adventure.
I set off on my adventure in December 2008 and I found travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to travel around the world in 16 months made it even harder. Even so, traveling overland was the most amazing way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.
I took three overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out of the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled (未遭破坏的) plains (平原), as if humans had never touched it.
It took seven days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent looking out of the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for ten hours. Later in my journey, it took me 22 days to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia to finish my round-the-world adventure.
It turned out that travelling with no advance booking was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions for accommodations and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me free and open about all my travel plans which is the advice I give to everyone who asks plan far less than you think you should.
28. What does the underlined word “hare-brained” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Clever. B. Secret. C. Crazy. D. Detailed.
29. What is an advantage of travelling around the world without using planes
A. Lower travel costs. B. Longer stays in each country.
C. Better appreciation of the world. D. More favourable accommodations.
30. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He had a taste for adventure. B. He finished his global travel as planned.
C. He became a writer after his global travel. D. He planned his travel carefully in advance.
31. What did the author think of his around-the-world tour
A. Challenging but satisfying. B. Dangerous but wonderful.
C Boring and risky. D. Costly and tiring.
D
Recently, economist Francisca Antman makes a convincing case that the explosion of tea as an everyman’s drink in late 1700s England saved many lives. This would not have been because of any beneficial substances of the leaf. Instead, the simple practice of boiling water for tea, in an era before people understood that illness could be caused by water-borne pathogens (病原体), may have been enough to keep many from an early grave.
Between 1761 and 1834, the annual death rate decreased considerably, but wages didn’t seem to have risen much and standards of living arguably didn’t increase. Actually, with the rise of the industrial revolution, many people crowded into towns whose sanitation (卫生条件) left much to be desired. Some historians suggested that boiling water for tea might have played a role in this decrease.
“With people coming into cities to work, given the level of sanitation they have, the big killer is water.” says Antman. Using data from over 400 English districts, relating water sources and quality with death rates, she found the key date is 1785 when tea suddenly became affordable for the majority of Britons. There were many things to recommend tea as a drink of the common people: you could make a satisfying drink with just a few leaves, which could be reused for multiple pots, and tea was potentially cheaper than beer, which became expensive both by the complex making process and by a tax on malt (麦芽). She found that deaths dropped in all districts, but those with bad water saw death rates drop 18% more than those with good water.
Interestingly,while there wasn’t a noticeable decrease in deaths among children aged two to five — who typically didn’t consume much tea — there was a slight fall in infant deaths, perhaps reflecting the fact that if tea-drinking parents had less diarrheal (腹泻) disease, their very young children might have been protected a bit as well.
32. What might contribute to decreased death rates according to some historians
A. Desirable sanitation. B. Less water-related disease.
C. Industrial revolution. D. Beneficial substances in tea.
33. Why did the majority of Britons in 1785 turn to tea
A. Because it tasted better than beer. B. Because it was less costly and reusable.
C. Because people needn’t pay any tax on it. D. Because people enjoyed its making process.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Drinking tea has tittle influence on young children.
B. Children can also drink tea to protect themselves from diarrheal disease.
C. Parents’ tea-drinking habits may have a positive effect on their children.
D. Death rates of children didn’t drop due to their lack of tea-drinking habits.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Why people need to boil water to make tea.
B. Why British develop a love for drinking tea.
C. How tea gains increasing popularity in Britain.
D. How Britain’s taste for tea may have saved lives.

At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash it all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her from the table around the corner.
This boy was in rough shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and his face had streaks (条痕) of dirt on it. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal too long. When the lady left, the boy saw his chance, He quickly sat down and started wolfing down the leftovers (吃剩的食物) like it was the best meal he’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watched the boy for a second. The boy got scared, stopped eating, and tears started to fill his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank.
The boy got up to leave, but before he could get far, the waiter came back and asked the boy to wait for a moment. The waiter gave him a full and fresh meal.
