第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50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
Each fall, millions of butterflies across the U. S. and Canada fly up to 4, 000 km to central Mexico. Travelers can see the butterflies overwintering on the Western Monarch Trail, a 465-mile, road trip-friendly conservation initiative that links over a dozen stops along the route.
Helping the butterflies
Organizers created educational panels in English and Spanish explaining the butterflies’ annual traveling and their trouble. The signs also outline ways travelers can help the butterflies recover, such as by supporting chemical-free farms and planting native nectar (花蜜) gardens.
Why butterflies fly to the California coast
Many stops in Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove and Andrew Molera State Park, are overwintering sites where, from October to February, travelers can see thousands of butterflies gathering in forests in areas with mild temperatures, dappled (斑驳的) sunlight, high dampness, and little to no wind.
Other sites, like the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden and Avila Valley Barn, growflowers that provide sugary, high-calorie food for the butterflies to eat. Butterflies settling here demonstrate how vital nectaring plants are to their survival.
How to explore the Western Monarch Trail
The butterflies’ behavior varies at different times of day and depending on the weather. In the mornings, while temperatures are still cool, step out of the cabin (木屋) in the Fernwood Resort where you stay overnight, you’ll find many butterflies hanging together on the branches and trunks of trees at the overwintering sites. As the day starts to heat up-typically by late morning or early afternoon — you’ll be amazed at the phenomenon “sunburst” — the butterflies start flying around in search of nearby nectar. Keep your eyes skyward. Don’t grab your camera. Just be in the moment.
1. What’s the Western Monarch Trail initiative aimed at
A. Providing a travel route. B. Encountering butterflies.
C. Promoting organic farming. D. Advocating species conservation.
2. What do we know about Andrew Molera State Park
A. It holds many nectar gardens.
B. It’s pleasant throughout winter.
C. It has sufficient food for butterflies.
D. It’s home to butterflies all year around.
3. What is guaranteed for the travelers along the Western Monarch Trail
A. Signs to guide the route.
B. Cameras for recording videos.
C. Ready shelters to stay overnight.
D. Experience of watching “sunburst” at dawn.
B
Josefa Marin went to New York from Mexico in 1987, supporting her daughter back home with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factory. With that small income, she had to collect recyclables, trading in cans for five cents each.
When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s, she became a full-time recycler, picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet.
Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it- a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year.
Yet collectors are ruled out by government policies. The United States Supreme Court in1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it’s on the street. That enables police to search rubbish for evidence but that protection hasn’t always been extended to recyclers. And in places like New York City, which is testing city-owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats, containers are made clearly inaccessible for collectors.
“There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value should belong to the people, not the city or the corporations, says Ryan Castalia, director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn.
Recognized or not, waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says.
Some governments are starting to realize that protecting the environment and humanity go hand in hand. The United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for example, calls for an end to poverty and all the risks it brings.
4. What is the author’s purpose of telling about Marin
A. To highlight waste collectors’ role.
B. To reflect laid-off workers’ hardship.
C. To praise her devotion to her daughter.
D. To show the seriousness of unemployment.
5. How does the author show the importance of waste pickers’ work
A. By contrasting. B. By citing reference.
C. By giving definitions. D. By cause-effect analysis.
6. What would Marin agree with
A. Business is business. B. No job is noble or humble.
C. The early birds catches worms. D. One good tum deserves another.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How can we end poverty B. Who owns our garbage
C. Who takes blame for waste D. How should we recycle rubbish
C
The greatest irony (讽刺) of the world-wide celebrations held in 2012 to honour the 200th anniversary (周年纪念) of the first edition of the Grimms’ Hausm rchen involves the discovery that most people really don’t know the original Grimms’ tales published in 1812.
If we return to take a closer look at the first edition, we’ll find it was this edition that inspired scholars of folk culture throughout Europe to gather tales from the oral tradition and preserve them for future generations.
When the Grimms Jacob and Wilhelm began collecting al kinds of folk tales and songs at the beginning of the 19th century, what attracted them to concentrate on old German literature was a belief that the most natural and pure forms of culture were to be located in the past, while modern literature, even though it might be remarkably rich, was artificial and thus could not express the genuine quality of folk culture that originated naturally from people’s experiences and bound the people together. Broadly speaking, the Grimms sought to collect and preserve ancient things consisting of tales, songs and documents. They intended to demonstrate how natural language, originating from the needs and customs of the common people, created genuine bonds and helped form civilized communities.
Turning to the first edition a reader might notice that, totally unlike the final edition of 1857, the first edition collects more genuine folk tales, keeping spoken and raw contents, despite the fact that the language is not as pleasing as that in later revised versions. Forinstance, Snow White’s mother, not her stepmother, wants to kill the beautiful girl out of envy. The storytellers do not beat about the bush and they tell the truths they know, engaging peopleto learn from symbols how to engage their realities, even though magic, incredible transformation and cruelty are involved.
Lastly, the Grimms’ little-known first edition reveals forgotten voices that are actually deep within us. Therefore, the irresistibility of the Grimms’ tales are that really not theirs, but ours.
8. According to the author, why should we rediscover the Grimms’ first edition
A. To explore its origin.
B. To appreciate its significance.
C. To honour its 200th anniversary.
D. To remember the Brothers Grimm.
9. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A. The quality of the folk culture.
B. The contents of the first edition.
C. The feature of the old German literature.
D. The motivation of the Grimms collecting tales.
10. What can we learn about Snow White in the first edition
A. It is loosely based on the folk tale.
B. It instructs readers to integrate into life.
C. It is appealing for its beautiful language.
D. It exposes envy and cruelty of the stepmother.
11. What can we infer about the Brothers Grimm from the text
A. They were collectors of antiques.
B. They kept their style in later editions.
C They thought highly of modern literature.
D. They were pioneers in preserving folk culture.
D
If you live on this planet, there’s a decent chance you’ve seen the classic Star TrekEpisode, in which captain Kirk and several members find themselves in what appears to be another universe.
These days, it seems the idea of the multiverse—many worlds—is having its Hollywood moment. Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious—characters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as different versions of themselves. Hence, it has been fully established in mainstream pop culture.
While Hollywood can’t seem to get enough of the multiverse, it remains deeply controversial (有争议的) among scientists. Advocates on the two sides show no mercy toward each other in their books, on their blogs. But physicists didn’t pull the idea out of thin air—rather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence. However, critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative (推测性的) theories from established fact, making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science (伪科学) at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks “turning fundamental physics into pseudo-science”.
The multiverse controversy is rooted in the idea of test ability. If we can’t interact with these other universes, or detect them in any way, some experts insist that reduces them to mere philosophical speculation. But Carroll, an advocate for “many worlds”, argues that mathematics is the language describing our physical theories. Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子) mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it.
Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thought, ‘We’ve got it; this is what the whole universe is’—the people who’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s more than one of those’ have always turned out to be right.”
12. Why is Hollywood so occupied with the multiverse
A. It makes for engaging plots.
B. It is a much-talked-about topic.
C. It is helpful to popularize science.
D. It dominates the mainstream pop culture.
13. What do the underlined words in paragraph 3 probably mean
A Out of date. B. Out of place. C. Out of nowhere. D. Out of question.
14. According to the opponents, the basic standard of fundamental physics is that ______.
A. it can be detected somehow
B. it can be reasoned logically
C. it can be interpreted philosophically
D. it can be predicted by mathematics equation
15. What might be the author’s attitude toward the multiverse
A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving.

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。
From the day Tony was born, Jeff refused to let his son’s disabilities hold him back. Tony has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), making it difficult for him to walk. Determined to show Tony that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete, when he was 15 years old, Jeff signed him up with Team Triumph, an organization that helps kids with disabilities engage in endurance sports.
“It gave me a new perspective on life, Tony said. He even dreamed of walking marathon one day. From then on, Tony became addicted to racing, and Jeff also wanted to be a part of it. Though Jeff had been a minor league baseball player, endurance (耐力) sports were new to him. He made up his mind to achieve Tony’s dream and started doing things he never dreamed about. He began waking up at 4 a. m. So he could run in the silent street while pushing Tony in a special wheelchair called a racing chair. Every morning, he drove himself to run increasingly longer distances. Soon, he and Tony were entering 5K races, then on to Iron-man triathlons.
Finishing the Iron-man competition in under 16 hours would be another dream for Jeff and Tony. The big day came. The race began with a 2.4-mile swim in the river. Jeff helped Tony into a kayak (皮船). With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to the kayak, Jeff eased himself into the water. Swimming while dragging another person is quite tough. The pair completed the swim in 90 minutes, and then it was on to the next leg; a 112-mile bicycle ride. Their custom-built bike had an additional seat in the back for Tony that faced backward.
After completing the demanding bike part in roughly nine hours, they set their sights on the final leg of the race-a 26.2-mile marathon with Jeff pushing Tony in the racing chair. They’d been competing for 10 hours, with only 6 hours left for the race. The first 7 miles went smoothly.
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。
But at mile 19, Jeff began to worry they were going too slow.

Josefa Marin went to New York from Mexico in 1987, supporting her daughter back home with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factory. With that small income, she had to collect recyclables, trading in cans for five cents each.
When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s, she became a full-time recycler, picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet.
Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it- a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year.
Yet collectors are ruled out by government policies. The United States Supreme Court in1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it’s on the street. That enables police to search rubbish for evidence, but that protection hasn’t always been extended to recyclers. And in places like New York City, which is testing city-owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats, containers are made clearly inaccessible for collectors.
“There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value should belong to the people, not the city or the corporations, says Ryan Castalia, director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn.
Recognized or not, waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says.
Some governments are starting to realize that protecting the environment and humanity go hand in hand. The United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for example, calls for an end to poverty and all the risks it brings.
4. What is the author’s purpose of telling about Marin
A. To highlight waste collectors’ role.
B. To reflect laid-off workers’ hardship.
C. To praise her devotion to her daughter.
D. To show the seriousness of unemployment.
5. How does the author show the importance of waste pickers’ work
A. By contrasting. B. By citing reference.
C. By giving definitions. D. By cause-effect analysis.
6. What would Marin agree with
A. Business is business. B. No job is noble or humble.
C. The early birds catches worms. D. One good tum deserves another.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How can we end poverty B. Who owns our garbage
C. Who takes blame for waste D. How should we recycle rubbish
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了垃圾回收者收集可回收物品来维持生计，长期以来一直受到不尊重，并且垃圾的归属也受到争议。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“With that small income, she had to collect recyclables, trading in cans for five cents each. (由于收入微薄，她不得不收集可回收物品，以每个5美分的价格出售易拉罐。)”和文章第二段中“When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s, she became a full-time recycler, picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet. (2000年代末，服装厂倒闭后，她成了一名全职的回收工，捡易拉罐和瓶子来维持生计。)”可知，Marin是废物收集者的角色，作者讲述Marin的目的是强调废物收集者的作用。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it- a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year. (世界各地有数百万人通过捡垃圾和转售来谋生——这是保持垃圾可管理的重要角色。在纽约市，管理部门只收集了28%可以回收的易拉罐。垃圾收集者每年从垃圾填埋场中取出数百万件可回收物品。)”可知，作者通过对比政府和废物收集者的收集数据，展示拾荒者工作的重要性。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says. (马林回忆说，有一次，她正在收集罐头，隔壁的人向她泼水。她说：“因为我回收利用并不意味着我比其他人更不像一个人。”)”可知，Marin认为工作没有高贵或卑微之分。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第四段中“The United States Supreme Court in1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it’s on the street. That enables police to search rubbish for evidence, but that protection hasn’t always been extended to recyclers. And in places like New York City, which is testing city-owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats, containers are made clearly inaccessible for collectors. (1988年，美国最高法院声明，生活垃圾一旦被扔到街上，就是公共财产。这使得警察能够在垃圾中寻找证据，但这种保护并不总是延伸到回收者。在纽约市这样的地方，正在测试城市拥有的上锁容器，以防止老鼠进入垃圾，这些容器显然不能让收集者进入。)”、第五段“There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value should belong to the people, not the city or the corporations, says Ryan Castalia, director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn. (“垃圾中有价值，我们觉得价值应该属于人民，而不是城市或公司，”布鲁克林一家非营利性回收和社区中心的主管瑞安 卡斯塔利亚说。)”、可知，文章主要介绍了垃圾回收者收集可回收物品来维持生计，长期以来一直受到不尊重，并且垃圾的归属也受到争议。选项B“Who owns our garbage (谁拥有我们的垃圾？)”符合题意。故选B。
C
The greatest irony (讽刺) of the world-wide celebrations held in 2012 to honour the 200th anniversary (周年纪念) of the first edition of the Grimms’ Hausm rchen involves the discovery that most people really don’t know the original Grimms’ tales published in 1812.
If we return to take a closer look at the first edition, we’ll find it was this edition that inspired scholars of folk culture throughout Europe to gather tales from the oral tradition and preserve them for future generations.
When the Grimms Jacob and Wilhelm began collecting al kinds of folk tales and songs at the beginning of the 19th century, what attracted them to concentrate on old German literature was a belief that the most natural and pure forms of culture were to be located in the past, while modern literature, even though it might be remarkably rich, was artificial and thus could not express the genuine quality of folk culture that originated naturally from people’s experiences and bound the people together. Broadly speaking, the Grimms sought to collect and preserve ancient things consisting of tales, songs and documents. They intended to demonstrate how natural language, originating from the needs and customs of the common people, created genuine bonds and helped form civilized communities.
Turning to the first edition a reader might notice that, totally unlike the final edition of 1857, the first edition collects more genuine folk tales, keeping spoken and raw contents, despite the fact that the language is not as pleasing as that in later revised versions. Forinstance, Snow White’s mother, not her stepmother, wants to kill the beautiful girl out of envy. The storytellers do not beat about the bush and they tell the truths they know, engaging peopleto learn from symbols how to engage their realities, even though magic, incredible transformation and cruelty are involved.
Lastly, the Grimms’ little-known first edition reveals forgotten voices that are actually deep within us. Therefore, the irresistibility of the Grimms’ tales are that really not theirs, but ours.
8. According to the author, why should we rediscover the Grimms’ first edition
A. To explore its origin.
B. To appreciate its significance.
C. To honour its 200th anniversary.
D. To remember the Brothers Grimm.
9. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A. The quality of the folk culture.
B. The contents of the first edition.
C. The feature of the old German literature.
D. The motivation of the Grimms collecting tales.
10. What can we learn about Snow White in the first edition
A. It is loosely based on the folk tale.
B. It instructs readers to integrate into life.
C. It is appealing for its beautiful language.
D. It exposes envy and cruelty of the stepmother.
11. What can we infer about the Brothers Grimm from the text
A. They were collectors of antiques.
B. They kept their style in later editions.
C. They thought highly of modern literature.
D. They were pioneers in preserving folk culture.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. D

【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段第一句“When the Grimms Jacob and Wilhelm began collecting al kinds of folk tales and songs at the beginning of the 19th century, what attracted them to concentrate on old German literature was a belief that the most natural and pure forms of culture were to be located in the past, while modern literature, even though it might be remarkably rich, was artificial and thus could not express the genuine quality of folk culture that originated naturally from people’s experiences and bound the people together.（当格林兄弟雅各布和威廉在19世纪初开始收集各种民间故事和歌曲时，吸引他们专注于德国古代文学的是一种信念，即最自然、最纯粹的文化形式应该位于过去，而现代文学，即使它可能非常丰富，是人为的，因此不能表达民间文化的真实品质，这种文化自然地起源于人们的经历，并将人们联系在一起。）”可知，该段主要讲述的是格林收集故事的动机。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段后两句“Forinstance, Snow White’s mother, not her stepmother, wants to kill the beautiful girl out of envy. The storytellers do not beat about the bush and they tell the truths they know, engaging peopleto learn from symbols how to engage their realities, even though magic, incredible transformation and cruelty are involved.（例如，白雪公主的母亲，而不是她的继母，出于嫉妒想要杀死这个美丽的女孩。讲故事的人不会拐弯抹角，他们讲的是他们知道的真相，让人们从象征中学习如何融入现实，尽管其中涉及到魔法、令人难以置信的转变和残酷。）”可知，在《格林童话》第一版中我们可以了解到关于白雪公主的故事是为了引导读者融入生活。故选B。

If you live on this planet, there’s a decent chance you’ve seen the classic Star TrekEpisode, in which captain Kirk and several members find themselves in what appears to be another universe.
These days, it seems the idea of the multiverse—many worlds—is having its Hollywood moment. Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious—characters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as different versions of themselves. Hence, it has been fully established in mainstream pop culture.
While Hollywood can’t seem to get enough of the multiverse, it remains deeply controversial (有争议的) among scientists. Advocates on the two sides show no mercy toward each other in their books, on their blogs. But physicists didn’t pull the idea out of thin air—rather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence. However, critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative (推测性的) theories from established fact, making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science (伪科学) at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks “turning fundamental physics into pseudo-science”.
The multiverse controversy is rooted in the idea of test ability. If we can’t interact with these other universes, or detect them in any way, some experts insist that reduces them to mere philosophical speculation. But Carroll, an advocate for “many worlds”, argues that mathematics is the language describing our physical theories. Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子) mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it.
Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thought, ‘We’ve got it; this is what the whole universe is’—the people who’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s more than one of those’ have always turned out to be right.”
12. Why is Hollywood so occupied with the multiverse
A. It makes for engaging plots.
B. It is a much-talked-about topic.
C. It is helpful to popularize science.
D. It dominates the mainstream pop culture.
13. What do the underlined words in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Out of date. B. Out of place. C. Out of nowhere. D. Out of question.
14. According to the opponents, the basic standard of fundamental physics is that ______.
A. it can be detected somehow
B. it can be reasoned logically
C. it can be interpreted philosophically
D. it can be predicted by mathematics equation
15. What might be the author’s attitude toward the multiverse
A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了虽然近来好莱坞似乎对多元宇宙欲罢不能，但它在科学家中仍然存在着深刻的争议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious—characters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as different versions of themselves.(作为一种讲故事的手段，它的吸引力显而易见——角色探索了一个与我们自己不同程度相似的多元世界，以及不同版本的自己。)”可知，多元宇宙作为一种讲故事的手段，非常具有吸引力。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的“rather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence(相反，几个不同的推理路线似乎指向了多元宇宙的存在)”可知，rather前后表示转折，后面说有推理路线证明多元宇宙是存在的，由此可推测出，前面说的是物理学家们并不是凭空得出了这个想法。out of thin air意为“凭空，无中生有地”，和out of nowhere(突然出现)意思相近。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative(推测性的) theories from established fact, making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science(伪科学) at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks ‘turning fundamental physics into pseudo-science’.(然而，批评者警告说，使多元宇宙合法化可能会使公众更难区分推测性理论和既定事实，从而更难遏制伪科学。相信这种推测有可能‘把基础物理学变成伪科学’。)”可知，批评者认为让多元宇宙合法化可能会使公众难以区分推测性理论和既定事实，相信这种推测有可能导致基础物理学变成伪科学。由此可推测出，基础物理学是以既定事实为基础的，可以通过某种方式发现。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子) mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it.(既然量子力学所依据的薛定谔方程预测了许多世界的存在，那就顺其自然吧。)”和最后一段中的“Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thought, ‘We’ve got it; this is what the whole universe is’—the people who’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s more than one of those’ have always turned out to be right.”(正如齐格弗里德所说：“在过去，每当我们想，‘我们明白了；这就是整个宇宙的样子’——那些说‘也许不止一个’的人总是被证明是对的。”)”可知，作者认为既然有理论预测了许多世界的存在，那就顺其自然吧，那些说“也许不止一个”的人总是被证明是对的；由此推知，作者对多元宇宙的概念持支持态度。故选D。

After building some standard cargo bikes,___16___, this time with something very special. I wanted to build an ideal cargo bike combining the stability of a three-wheeler with the possibility to change directions like being on two wheels.
The first step was to do extensive research.___17___. An incredible source of technical inspiration was the online Tilting Group. Although primarily concerned with tilting concepts of engine driven constructions, the group is surely the best place to find information about constructing a tilter.
After researching and outlining a few ideas, I grabbed some parts and started with a very simple prototype. Building such a vehicle needs a high degree of accuracy, which was not the case with my prolotype. ___18___. So I made a few more sketches, which led to an improved version of the driving and tilting mechanism.
Then I started building the tricycle. Building the structure was quite straightforward. As usual I took an old bike apart for the back triangle and then added the front part. After adding a cargo basket to the structure, ___19___.
Now came the hard part the driving mechanism. I started with the usual design used for two-wheel cargo bikes, but it took me quite some time to figure out how to pass the driving force to both wheels without allowing the whole thing to lock itself in any angle.
___20___, but I’m sure I can use the knowledge I gained one way or another.
A. The project was demanding
B. I decided to get my hands dirty again
C. I fell in love with three-wheeler bikes
D I put all the parts together for the first time
E. It took me quite some time to understand the ideas behind it
F. The engine driven constructions were always the most difficult to fix

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
From the day Tony was born, Jeff refused to let his son’s disabilities hold him back. Tony has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), making it difficult for him to walk. Determined to show Tony that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete, when he was 15 years old, Jeff signed him up with Team Triumph, an organization that helps kids with disabilities engage in endurance sports.
“It gave me a new perspective on life, Tony said. He even dreamed of walking marathon one day. From then on, Tony became addicted to racing, and Jeff also wanted to be a part of it. Though Jeff had been a minor league baseball player, endurance (耐力) sports were new to him. He made up his mind to achieve Tony’s dream and started doing things he never dreamed about. He began waking up at 4 a. m. So he could run in the silent street while pushing Tony in a special wheelchair called a racing chair. Every morning, he drove himself to run increasingly longer distances. Soon, he and Tony were entering 5K races, then on to Iron-man triathlons.
Finishing the Iron-man competition in under 16 hours would be another dream for Jeff and Tony. The big day came. The race began with a 2.4-mile swim in the river. Jeff helped Tony into a kayak (皮船). With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to the kayak, Jeff eased himself into the water. Swimming while dragging another person is quite tough. The pair completed the swim in 90 minutes, and then it was on to the next leg; a 112-mile bicycle ride. Their custom-built bike had an additional seat in the back for Tony that faced backward.
After completing the demanding bike part in roughly nine hours, they set their sights on the final leg of the race-a 26.2-mile marathon with Jeff pushing Tony in the racing chair. They’d been competing for 10 hours, with only 6 hours left for the race. The first 7 miles went smoothly.
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。
But at mile 19, Jeff began to worry they were going too slow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jeff handed Tony his rolling walker (助行器).
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
But at mile 19, Jeff began to worry they were going too slow. Somehow he found the energy to pick up the pace. With Tony’s dream deeply imprinted in his mind, he realized he was not alone in this battle. Clenching his teeth, Jeff used all his strength and will power to push the racing chair. The audience can’t help cheering for them. With thunderous applause, they were close to the finishing line. Jeff knew it was time to fulfil Tony’s wish.
Jeff handed Tony his rolling walker (助行器). Not that long ago, Tony could barely walk several steps. But after years of painstaking work, he increased his step count and was determined to finish the race on his own. After 15 hours and 5 minutes with just five minutes to spare father and son crossed the fish line together. As the crowd engulfed and cheered on an overwhelmed Tony, a weary Jeff kept a low profile. “He didn’t want his finish line moment,” says Tony. “He wanted it to be mine.”
