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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A trans-Canada train trip is an adventure that will stay with you for a very long time. Here are some must-see places to visit along the way:
Vancouver
There’s a reason why Vancouver never fails to impress. It is really stunning, with plenty of green open spaces, mountains and ocean views. Plus, this west coast city also has a diverse live music and art scene, world-class museums and plenty of locally owned coffeehouses and creative restaurants.
Jasper
Jasper National Park is twice the size of Banff National Park, yet draws only around half the visitors, which means you’ll encounter fewer crowds on the stunning hiking paths through valleys, mountain passes and grasslands. Keep an eye out for elk, bighorn sheep and other wild local residents.
Québec City
Considered the crown jewel of French Canada, Quebec City is one of North America’s oldest and most remarkable settlements. The Old Town is like a living museum of narrow cobblestone streets, 17th and 18th century houses and churches. There’s more than a glimmer of old Europe in its classic pubs, sidewalk cafes and tidy square.
Montreal
Montreal is where all the fun happens. The city lives for the arts, with more than 90 festivals throughout the year and an impressive collection of museums, galleries and performance spaces. Add in architecture that will make you think you’re in Europe and one of the most diverse food scenes in North America, and you will have a recipe for a good time.
21. If you are interested in wildlife, which place will attract you
A. Vancouver. B. Jasper. C. Québec City. D. Montreal.
22. What can you do in Québec City
A. Visit a museum of cobblestones. B. Attend various festivals.
C. Enjoy a drink in a European-style pub. D. Walk across the vast grassland.
23. What do Vancouver and Montreal have in common
A. Attractive museums. B. Large quantities of wildlife.
C. A small crowd of visitors. D. Over 90 festivals every year.
B
A 25-year-old young man from Guinea biked across Africa, reached Cairo on September 5 and received a full scholarship to Al-Azhar University, one of the world’s oldest and most respected Sunni Muslim learning centers.
Mamadou Safaiou Barry lives in the West African nation of Guinea. He wanted to study Islamic theology（伊斯兰教神学）at a top school in Cairo, Egypt. Without money to pay for transport, Barry drew a map of Africa and headed out on a used bicycle for the trip across the continent, carrying only a change of clothes. a flashlight and a small tool.
Barry rode about 100 kilometers each day. He rode through Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin and Niger. He had to stop in N’Djamena, the Chadian capital, because of the ongoing Conflict in Sudan. He said he had already been detained three times-twice in Burkina Faso and once in Togo. There, security forces held him for nine days without charge before releasing him for $56. That was all of his money for the rest of the trip, he said.
Thousands of West Africans like Barry take risky journeys across the Sahara desert each year, searching for a better life. But many never make it. Nearly 500 people died or disappeared on West African migration routes last year, data from the International Organization for Migration shows.
Barry thought the risk was worth it. “If you have a dream, stay with it and be strong.” he said, “God will help you.”
Barry’s luck changed again in Chad. There, a local philanthropist（慈善家）, who had read about his trip online, offered to fly him directly to Egypt and avoid the fighting in Sudan. After four months and travelling through 7 countries, he is in Cairo now and has received a full scholarship to Al-Azhar.
Barry intends to return to Guinea when his studies are complete, to spread the faith that has taken him so far. “When I return to my country, I would like to be someone who teaches Islam and tells people how to do good things,” he said.
24. Why did Barry start the journey across Africa
A. To search for a better life.
B. To explore different landscapes.
C. To escape the conflict in his home country.
D. To realize his dream of studying Islamic theology in Cairo.
25. What does Paragraph 4 function as
A. Background information. B. Detailed description.
C. Typical examples. D. Data analysis.
26. Which word can best describe Barry
A. Skilled. B. Gifted. C. Humorous. D. Determined.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Islam Spreading in Africa
B. African Philanthropist Supporting a Young Man
C. Guinean Student Cycling across Africa for His Dream
D. African Young Man Surviving across the Sahara Desert
C
A study has found that a fifth of teenagers consume energy drinks under the impression that they are good for health.
The new research questioned almost 4,000 high school students about the energy drinks and found that boys were much more likely to drink them.
Australia requires companies to label their drinks as “not suitable for children”, yet the findings published in a journal showed many teens still believed the drinks were beneficial.
The energy drink market is expected to grow to a $72 billion by 2024 and reach $108.4 billion by 2031.
Separate market analysis showed teens who drink energy drinks were more likely to show anti-social behaviour, including smoking, alcohol consumption and other things. Energy drink consumption was also found connected with headaches, stomachaches and especially insomnia, which is common among teens and makes them extremely sleepy and unable to concentrate on their study.
One 16-year-old girl said she did not make a habit of drinking the energy drinks, but Sometimes bought one after school.
“I know they’re not great for you, but sometimes I get to the end of a school day and I am just very tired,” she said, “You get up at around 7 a.m., sit through a whole school day and then go home, only to study through to 11 p.m.—if you don’t have extra-curricular activities. It’s notS0mething I recommend, but they taste good and sometimes I feel like I’d benefit from caffeine.”
Due to the fact that teenagers incorrectly believed energy drinks were beneficial for their health, the researchers suggested it was necessary to educate students on the health risks.
28. What do many teenagers think about energy drinks
A. Harmful. B. Healthy. C. Expensive. D. Unnecessary.
29. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The popularity of energy drinks. B. The market value of energy drinks.
C. The bad effects of energy drinks. D. The production of energy drinks.
30. What does the underlined word “insomnia” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Sleeplessness. B. Loneliness. C. Carelessness. D. Forgetfulness.
31. What can we infer from the passage
A. The 16-year-old girl is addicted to energy drinks.
B. Boys are more likely to drink energy drinks than girls.
C. About 4,000 teenagers consume energy drinks every day.
D. Teenagers lack enough education about the risks of energy drinks.
D
Pet owners love their dogs more than their cats. Although previous studies have already suggested this finding, scientists from the University of Copenhagen wanted to research more deeply into whether cultural factors affected the results. Their findings are published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science.
In the survey across Denmark, Austria and the United Kingdom, 844 dog owners, 872 cat owners and 401 people who owned both dogs and cats were asked questions about their pets. Overall, the participants had higher attachment scores for dogs than for cats. Owners were more likely to insure（给……投保）their dogs and paid more to dogs’ treatment. However, the results differed dramatically across countries. For example, the United Kingdom’s results were in favor of dogs, although only slightly. Australia had a very clear preference for dogs. Emotional attachment to dogs was highest in Denmark. The Danes were also less likely to buy insurance for their cats, compared with their dogs.
“While people care more about their dogs than their cats in these countries, the degree of difference varied between countries,” Professor Peter Sandoe of the University of Copenhagen, the study’s first author, said in a press release. “It doesn’t therefore seem to be a universal phenomenon（现象）that people care much less about their cats than their dogs.”
The difference between countries may be due to cultural differences and attitudes toward pets, the study suggested. This may be the result of the country’s history with rural animals and how often they interacted with people. These factors may have influenced societal attitudes toward pets in modern times.
“Our study only looks at three countries in Europe,” professor Clare Palmer of Texas A&M University, a co-author of the paper, said in the press release. “It raises interesting questions regarding what comparative studies of other countries might find,” she went on. “Perhaps there are countries where the level of care for and attachment to cats is, in fact, higher than dogs ”
32. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To state a widely acknowledged fact.
B. To analyze the cause of a phenomenon.
C. To introduce the topic of a new study.
D. To compare two different studies.
33. How did the researchers conduct their study
A. By asking questions.
B. By doing an experiment.
C. By collecting data online.
D. By keeping track of pet owners’ daily life.
34. What can we infer from Sandoe’s words
A. Not all the people in the world prefer dogs to cats.
B. People in the three surveyed countries prefer dogs to cats.
C. The levels of care for cats are the same as dogs in the world.
D. People in the world care less about their cats than their dogs.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Pet owners love their dogs more than their cats.
B. Culture may influence people’s preference to dogs.
C. Pet owners should care about their cats as much as their dogs.
D. People hold different attitudes toward pets in three European countries.

How to protect eyes and preserve your vision
We watch out salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones. But what can we do to protect our eyes 36
Take a break from screens. The AAO（美国眼科协会）says there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes. 37 One reason for eye tiredness during screen use is that people tend to blink less when staring at computer screens. The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away for20 seconds.
38 .Research shows that foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, lutein（叶黄素）, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids are linked to lower risk for age-related eye diseases and maybe even dry eye. Therefore, foods like fish, strawberries, tomatoes, peanuts, pumpkin, beef and oysters are strongly recommended.
Stop those bad habits. First, give up smoking. Smoking isn’t just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. It causes dry eyes, makes thyroid eye disease worse and can harm the optic nerve. 39 The more you rub, the more itchy your eyes will get. And rubbing can also lead to infections.
Repair the air. Indoor heating and air conditioning can dry out the air and the eyes. Outdoor cold and wind can be drying, too, while pollution and allergens can cause discomfort. “In addition to using some eyedrops, it is important to purify the air and make it less dry.” says Dr. Akpek.
Finally, don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup. 40
A. Eat for your eyes.
B. Also, try not to rub your eyes.
C. Choose food beneficial to your health.
D. We are supposed to protect our eyes from the screen light.
E. But staring at a screen can leave eyes tired and may even blur vision.
F. Not all eye problems are noticeable, and all are best treated when found early.
G. Experts tell us some steps people should take to protect their vision and eye health.

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。
Hannah and I have been best friends since primary school and we spend almost every day with each other. Sometimes, other children say we are no fun because we are both very academic and like to study, but we like it that way. We learn from each other, inspire each other and both get good grades at school.
Last Monday, our math teacher Miss Smith gave us a surprise math quiz. Some of my classmates felt worried and nervous but Hanna and I were confident and gave each other an encouraging smile before we got down to doing the quiz. After the quiz while others were complaining about the “surprise” and expressing their concern about the result, I laughed loudly, “It’s so easy! I’m sure to get a good grade!” Ironically（具有讽刺意味的）, on Tuesday afternoon, Miss Smith told me after class that I had the lowest grade in the class. I couldn’t believe my ears. What a shame! How could I be so stupid to fail such a simple math quiz!
Afterwards, I tried my best to hide my upset and pretended to be cheerful, but Hannah sensed something was wrong. When we went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom, she looked into my eyes and asked, “What happened, Sarah ” With tears welling up, I admitted how badly I had one. “Hannah, please don’t tell anyone else,” I begged in a choked voice. She hugged me, saying she would keep my secret.
However, the next day morning, I noticed that some classmates were staring at me strangely and others whispering and chuckling（暗笑）as I came into the classroom. When I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, “Stupid Sarah got a D!” A flush of shame and anger overwhelming me, I felt my face was burning. I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to. Everyone must have been laughing behind my back!
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。
I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah. As it was time for math class, I walked back to the classroom slowly.

Dear Rebecca,
I’m sorry to hear that you are worried about your weight and growing spots on the face. I definitely understand how you feel, because many teenagers have the same problem including me. Here I’d like to give you some advice.
Firstly, keep in mind that it’s normal for us to experience some physical changes in adolescence and that everything will turn out all right. Don’t care too much. What’s more, lifestyle is very important, so you’d better stick to healthy eating and regular exercise. Finally, focus on something you are good at or passionate about, which will help you forget your negative thoughts and build your confidence.
Hope my advice will be of some help to you. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li hua

Paragraph1 I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah. I shouted, trembling with rage, “It’s you that let out my secret!” “No, ...” Hannah tried to explain but I interrupted her, “From now on, we are not friends any more!” I stormed out of the classroom and ran to the playground. Sitting in a corner, I buried my face in the hands, tears running down between fingers. I still couldn’t believe I was betrayed by my best friend. As memories of moments we spent together poured into my mind, I couldn’t help wondering: did she really betray me
Paragraph 2 As it was time for math class, I walked back to the classroom slowly. Miss Smith was handing out the papers. The moment she saw me, she said, “Sarah, I’m sorry that I made a mistake. It was Hannah that reminded me to check your paper again. You got an A!” I was stunned, at a loss what to say. I turned to Hannah, seeing a warm smile on her face. It was then that I realized what matters was not whether I got an “A” or who wrote the note but the true meaning of friendship: trust and love!
