Growing up in a Jamaican American household, food was an important part of my childhood. I remember my grandmother preparing fried dumplings and curry mutton, jazz music playing in the background. Food was our greatest treasure. Food brought the family together. Food celebrated new beginnings and eased the wounds of life’s untimely endings.
When I was 8, I was diagnosed with a muscle disease, which caused me to spend most of my childhood in hospital. rooms and wheelchairs, slowly gaining weight by swallowing prednisone (肾上腺皮质激素) hidden inside mint chocolate chip ice cream. My mom made it her duty to help me lose the weight through strict dieting. I’ve tried every single one. In fairness, my mother did the best she could. As a single mom, she felt this brought us closer. However, as an adult, I began to experience a paralyzing fear of food. My “I’ll start a new diet on Monday” mind-set lasted for 16 years as I uncontrollably ate and abused my body. I was worried that I was not attractive enough. So obsessed and afraid no one would hire me as an actress if I didn’t win the battle with the numbers on the scale, in February 2011 I was send to hospital.
We do extreme things to our bodies because of those numbers, numbers that cannot talk with us or love us. I have had to stop judging my belly, stop starving myself, stop getting on the scale and staring at those numbers. I have come to the realization that my life is more important than those numbers on the scale and that the quality of the life I live is more important than how I look in the mirror.

D．It’s the way to celebrate Jamaican tradition.

Proper questioning has become a lost art. The curious four-year-old asks a lot of questions-incessant streams of “Why ” and “Why not “ might sound familiar-but as we grow older, our questioning decreases. In a recent survey of more than 200 of our clients, we found that those with children estimated that 70-80% of their kids’ dialogues with others were comprised of questions. But those same clients said that only 15-25% of their own interactions consisted of questions. Why the drop of
Think back to your time growing up and in school. Chances are you received the most recognition or reward when you got the correct answers. Later in life, that motivator continues. At work, we often reward those who answer questions, not those who ask them. Questioning conventional wisdom can even lead to being distanced, or considered a threat.
Because expectations for decision-making have gone from ”get it done soon“ to ”get it done now“ to ”it should have been done yesterday, “ we tend to jump to conclusions instead of asking more questions. And the unfortunate side effect of not asking enough questions is poor decision-making. That’s why it’s vital that we slow down and take the time to ask more and better questions. At best, we’ll arrive at better conclusions. At worst we’ll avoid a lot of rework later on.
Aside from not speaking up enough, many professionals don’t think about how different types of questions can lead to different outcomes. We should lead a conversation by asking the right kinds of questions, based on the problem we’re trying to solve. In some cases, we’ll want to expand our view of the problem rather than keeping it narrowly focused. In others, we may want to challenge basic assumptions or confirm our understanding in order to feel more confident in our conclusions. Therefore, asking the right kinds of questions is what counts in achieving a goal.
28．What does the underlined word ”incessant“ in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A．Constant. B．Random. C．Noisy. D．Innocent.
29．What accounts for the decline of questioning in adulthood
A．One poses a threat to the company if they ask questions.
B．Those who ask questions don’t necessarily get positive feedback.
C．One doesn’t have as many opportunities as they did in childhood.
D．Those who question popular beliefs don’t have interpersonal skills.
30．What can we infer from paragraph 3
A．Redoing is unavoidable despite thoughtful questions.
B．Better questions can surely result in desirable outcomes.
C．Some people think it can’t be too fast to make a decision.
D．We’ll make reasonable decisions as long as we ask questions.
31．What might the author continue talking about
A．Proper questions that should be raised.
B．Important goals that we are to achieve.
C．Right kinds of answers to the questions.
D．The reasons for the loss of questioning art.
D
For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite Neither, based on a new research in the journal Current Biology. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes(微生物).
Previous studies have shown that the presence of the right microbes can enhance the absorption of critical nutrients like iron, phosphorus (磷) and nitrogen (氮).
Tea experts Wei Xin and Wenxin Tang at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China were attracted by it because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich ammonium (铵)in the soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid (氨基酸) that generates their special pleasant flavors. Collecting the roots and leaves of 17 different tea types at different times of year, Dr Xin and Dr Tang found that theanine production varied widely, even among similar teas. Some highly valued oolong teas, such as Rougui, produced a lot of the compound, whereas others, such as Maoxie, produced less.
After growing these two types under identical conditions, the researchers collected soil samples and used genetic analysis to identify which microbes were present around the roots. The microbes of the two were very different. Crucially, Rougui had more microbes associated with nitrogen than did Maoxie. Consequently, Rougui also showed a greater ability to absorb nitrogen from ammonium in the soil. These differences were particularly clear in the autumn, when the roots were accumulating theanine.
To explore further, the researchers created a community of microbes that resembled the community found around autumnal Rougui roots and applied them to the roots of Maoxie plants. They report that this not only enhanced root growth in Maoxie seedlings by giving them a nitrogen boost, but also nearly tripled the theanine in the leaves.
Flavors aside, what they found has the potential to make a wider environmental impact. Most farmers add some form of nitrogen to their soil to enhance growth. While some of this is absorbed by plants, most runs off during heavy rains and ends up polluting natural water bodies. When the researchers applied their microbial mixture to soil, they found that, just as with Maoxie, the newcomers enhanced nitrogen uptake. This suggests that these microbes have the potential to create new flavors while also reducing agricultural pollution. That should be everyone’s cup of tea.
32．Which is the key factor in enhancing tea’s flavor
A．Iron. B．Phosphorus. C．Theanine. D．Oxygen.
33．Why are Rougui and Maoxie grown in the research
A．To set an example. B．To make a comparison.
C．To prove a conclusion. D．To attract Chinese readers.
34．Based on the text, which of the following is TRUE
A．Nitrogen is commonly used in agriculture. B．Tea has more health benefits than expected.
C．When to add milk to a cup of tea is unknown. D．Maoxie can taste like Rougui after improvement.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Tea and its flavor B．Microbes and tea
C．Tea’s new benefits D．Everyone’s cup of tea

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. 36 So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.
Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. 37
Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). 38 Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep.
39 Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences. 40 For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.
A．It can guarantee sufficient sleep.
B．It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.
C．The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age.
D．Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings.
E．This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues.
F．People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.
G．Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past.

The term “Maillard” originally refers to the Maillard 57 (react). This phenomenon is well-known in Western cuisine. It describes a chemical change that produces flavor chemicals and browning in foods such as toast and steak, as 58 (note) by BBC Science Focus.
59 (similar), Maillard-inspired fashion creates clothes 60 show different kinds of brown, like rich reddish-browns, warm yellow-browns, and delicate off-whites(米色). This makes 61 easier for people to think of the rich tastes food brings, 62 (create) pleasant emotions in their brains.

Mrs. Johnson lost her husband to cancer after months of failed treatment. She spent every penny she had saved working as a teacher, hoping her husband’s illness wouldn’t return. She only had $5 left in her bank account and didn’t know how to survive. She was just living on leftovers and junk. What’s worse, she hadn’t paid the house rent.
Standing before the ATM, Mrs. Johnson put in her card and entered her password. In no time, she saw a five-dollar bill slide out of the machine. The old lady was so focused on the dollar bill that she barely looked at the screen.
Holding a bag full of about-outdated food items, the old lady slowly walked towards her house. Upon reaching her apartment door, she saw an envelope with her name on it in the mailbox.
Once she entered the house and kept the grocery bag on the kitchen counter, she slid the envelope out and opened it. It was an invitation for reunion from the school where she had taught all her life, but she didn’t feel like going there.
After having dinner, the old lady picked up her phone, hoping to find a job. A message caught her attention, which was a notice from her bank regarding her cash withdrawal. She read the message and was about to exit it when the remaining account balance caught her attention. A hundred thousand dollars! ! !
The next day, Mrs. Johnson visited the bank, thinking this was a big mistake. After checking, the bank told her the records showed that Norma Tyler transferred the money to her account. There was no mistake.
However, Mrs. Johnson didn’t know any Norma Tyler! After thinking about all her friends, relatives and acquaintances, Mrs. Johnson could only think of one Norma— one of the students who never performed well in class. Mrs. Johnson thought of how hard she worked with Norma. She wanted the girl to get good grades, but nothing worked. No matter how hard she tried to teach new concepts to the teenage girl, she would never understand a single word.
注意:
1. 续写词数为150 个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It hit Mrs. Johnson that she could attend the high school reunion to meet Norma.

Norma said she wanted to thank a special teacher who never gave up on her.

【原文】M: Thank you very much, Dr. Johnson. Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I wanted to tell you today is this: Education is important. When I came to the US, I was only thinking about being a cook, but I could not read the newspaper. And I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this. So, I entered the city college to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you’re 15 years old in my country, you finish school and then you learn something to make a living. And that’s exactly what I did. A year later, I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes, and history classes, and I became a full-time college student. And today, when I look back, I’m so happy because you never know where life will take you. Gradually, I started making money because I was really good at math. You know, working out problems with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well.

Growing up in a Jamaican American household, food was an important part of my childhood. I remember my grandmother preparing fried dumplings and curry mutton, jazz music playing in the background. Food was our greatest treasure. Food brought the family together. Food celebrated new beginnings and eased the wounds of life’s untimely endings.
When I was 8, I was diagnosed with a muscle disease, which caused me to spend most of my childhood in hospital. rooms and wheelchairs, slowly gaining weight by swallowing prednisone (肾上腺皮质激素) hidden inside mint chocolate chip ice cream. My mom made it her duty to help me lose the weight through strict dieting. I’ve tried every single one. In fairness, my mother did the best she could. As a single mom, she felt this brought us closer. However, as an adult, I began to experience a paralyzing fear of food. My “I’ll start a new diet on Monday” mind-set lasted for 16 years as I uncontrollably ate and abused my body. I was worried that I was not attractive enough. So obsessed and afraid no one would hire me as an actress if I didn’t win the battle with the numbers on the scale, in February 2011 I was send to hospital.
We do extreme things to our bodies because of those numbers, numbers that cannot talk with us or love us. I have had to stop judging my belly, stop starving myself, stop getting on the scale and staring at those numbers. I have come to the realization that my life is more important than those numbers on the scale and that the quality of the life I live is more important than how I look in the mirror.

【答案】24．A 25．B 26．C 27．A
【导语】
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者因为体重的数字对自己做出极端的事情，然后意识到生命比这些数字更重要，自己生活的质量比自己在镜子里的样子更重要。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Food brought the family together.(食物使一家人团聚在一起。)”可知，在作者的童年，食物是加强家庭联系的纽带。故选A。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When I was 8, I was diagnosed with a muscle disease, which caused me to spend most of my childhood in hospital. rooms and wheelchairs, slowly gaining weight by swallowing prednisone (肾上腺皮质激素) hidden inside mint chocolate chip ice cream. My mom made it her duty to help me lose the weight through strict dieting.(当我8岁的时候，我被诊断出患有肌肉疾病，这导致我童年的大部分时间都在医院里度过。房间和轮椅，通过吞下藏在薄荷巧克力片冰淇淋里的强的松慢慢增重。我妈妈把帮助我通过严格的节食减肥当作她的责任。)”可知，作者由于8岁时罹患肌肉疾病不得不注射激素药物，导致体重增加。为了帮女儿减掉因罹患肌肉疾病而增加的体重，作者母亲严格限制作者的饮食。所以，作者最初严格控制饮食是由于作者小时候治疗肌肉疾病产生的副作用所致。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“However, as an adult, I began to experience a paralyzing fear of food.(然而，作为一个成年人，我开始体验到对食物的极度恐惧。)” 可知，作者因为过度节食而对食物感到害怕。故选C。

Proper questioning has become a lost art. The curious four-year-old asks a lot of questions-incessant streams of “Why ” and “Why not “ might sound familiar-but as we grow older, our questioning decreases. In a recent survey of more than 200 of our clients, we found that those with children estimated that 70-80% of their kids’ dialogues with others were comprised of questions. But those same clients said that only 15-25% of their own interactions consisted of questions. Why the drop of
Think back to your time growing up and in school. Chances are you received the most recognition or reward when you got the correct answers. Later in life, that motivator continues. At work, we often reward those who answer questions, not those who ask them. Questioning conventional wisdom can even lead to being distanced, or considered a threat.
Because expectations for decision-making have gone from ”get it done soon“ to ”get it done now“ to ”it should have been done yesterday, “ we tend to jump to conclusions instead of asking more questions. And the unfortunate side effect of not asking enough questions is poor decision-making. That’s why it’s vital that we slow down and take the time to ask more and better questions. At best, we’ll arrive at better conclusions. At worst we’ll avoid a lot of rework later on.
Aside from not speaking up enough, many professionals don’t think about how different types of questions can lead to different outcomes. We should lead a conversation by asking the right kinds of questions, based on the problem we’re trying to solve. In some cases, we’ll want to expand our view of the problem rather than keeping it narrowly focused. In others, we may want to challenge basic assumptions or confirm our understanding in order to feel more confident in our conclusions. Therefore, asking the right kinds of questions is what counts in achieving a goal.
28．What does the underlined word ”incessant“ in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A．Constant. B．Random. C．Noisy. D．Innocent.
29．What accounts for the decline of questioning in adulthood
A．One poses a threat to the company if they ask questions.
B．Those who ask questions don’t necessarily get positive feedback.
C．One doesn’t have as many opportunities as they did in childhood.
D．Those who question popular beliefs don’t have interpersonal skills.
30．What can we infer from paragraph 3
A．Redoing is unavoidable despite thoughtful questions.
B．Better questions can surely result in desirable outcomes.
C．Some people think it can’t be too fast to make a decision.
D．We’ll make reasonable decisions as long as we ask questions.
31．What might the author continue talking about
A．Proper questions that should be raised.
B．Important goals that we are to achieve.
C．Right kinds of answers to the questions.
D．The reasons for the loss of questioning art.
【答案】28．A 29．B 30．C 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了恰当的提问已经成为一门失传的艺术，分析了原因以及鼓励人们恰当的提问。
28．词句猜测题。根据第一段“The curious four-year-old”（好奇的四岁孩子以及）“以及as we grow older, our questioning decreases”（ 但随着年龄的增长，我们的提问会减少）可知，这个好奇的四岁孩子问了很多问题——没完没了地问“为什么 ”和“为什么不呢 所以划线词的意思是“持续不断的”。故选A项。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“Think back to your time growing up and in school. Chances are you received the most recognition or reward when you got the correct answers. Later in life, that motivator continues. At work, we often reward those who answer questions, not those who ask them.”（ 回想一下你在学校的成长过程。当你得到正确答案时，你可能会得到最多的认可或奖励。在以后的生活中，这种动力会继续存在。在工作中，我们经常奖励那些回答问题的人，而不是那些提出问题的人。）可知，提问题的人不一定能得到积极的反馈是致了成年后提问的减少的原因。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段“Because expectations for decision-making have gone from ”get it done soon“ to ”get it done now“ to ”it should have been done yesterday, “ we tend to jump to conclusions instead of asking more questions. And the unfortunate side effect of not asking enough questions is poor decision-making.”（ 因为对决策的期望已经从“尽快完成”变成了“现在完成”，再变成了“昨天就应该完成”，我们倾向于直接下结论，而不是问更多的问题。没有问足够多的问题的副作用是糟糕的决策。）可知，有些人认为做决定不能太快。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, asking the right kinds of questions is what counts in achieving a goal.”（ 因此，问正确的问题是实现目标的关键。）可知，接下来要讨论应该提出适当的问题。故选A项。
D
For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite Neither, based on a new research in the journal Current Biology. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes(微生物).
Previous studies have shown that the presence of the right microbes can enhance the absorption of critical nutrients like iron, phosphorus (磷) and nitrogen (氮).
Tea experts Wei Xin and Wenxin Tang at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China were attracted by it because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich ammonium (铵)in the soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid (氨基酸) that generates their special pleasant flavors. Collecting the roots and leaves of 17 different tea types at different times of year, Dr Xin and Dr Tang found that theanine production varied widely, even among similar teas. Some highly valued oolong teas, such as Rougui, produced a lot of the compound, whereas others, such as Maoxie, produced less.
After growing these two types under identical conditions, the researchers collected soil samples and used genetic analysis to identify which microbes were present around the roots. The microbes of the two were very different. Crucially, Rougui had more microbes associated with nitrogen than did Maoxie. Consequently, Rougui also showed a greater ability to absorb nitrogen from ammonium in the soil. These differences were particularly clear in the autumn, when the roots were accumulating theanine.
To explore further, the researchers created a community of microbes that resembled the community found around autumnal Rougui roots and applied them to the roots of Maoxie plants. They report that this not only enhanced root growth in Maoxie seedlings by giving them a nitrogen boost, but also nearly tripled the theanine in the leaves.
Flavors aside, what they found has the potential to make a wider environmental impact. Most farmers add some form of nitrogen to their soil to enhance growth. While some of this is absorbed by plants, most runs off during heavy rains and ends up polluting natural water bodies. When the researchers applied their microbial mixture to soil, they found that, just as with Maoxie, the newcomers enhanced nitrogen uptake. This suggests that these microbes have the potential to create new flavors while also reducing agricultural pollution. That should be everyone’s cup of tea.
32．Which is the key factor in enhancing tea’s flavor
A．Iron. B．Phosphorus. C．Theanine. D．Oxygen.
33．Why are Rougui and Maoxie grown in the research
A．To set an example. B．To make a comparison.
C．To prove a conclusion. D．To attract Chinese readers.
34．Based on the text, which of the following is TRUE
A．Nitrogen is commonly used in agriculture. B．Tea has more health benefits than expected.
C．When to add milk to a cup of tea is unknown. D．Maoxie can taste like Rougui after improvement.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Tea and its flavor B．Microbes and tea
C．Tea’s new benefits D．Everyone’s cup of tea
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．A 35．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨微生物如何在茶叶种植的过程中给茶叶带来了更好的口味。
32．细节理解题。根据第三段“Tea experts Wei Xin and Wenxin Tang at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China were attracted by it because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich ammonium (铵)in the soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid (氨基酸) that generates their special pleasant flavors.(中国福建农林大学的茶叶专家辛伟和唐文新被它所吸引，因为茶树依靠根部周围土壤中富含氮的铵来产生茶氨酸，这种氨基酸能产生独特的宜人味道)”可知，提升茶味的关键因素是茶氨酸。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“After growing these two types under identical conditions, the researchers collected soil samples and used genetic analysis to identify which microbes were present around the roots. The microbes of the two were very different. Crucially, Rougui had more microbes associated with nitrogen than did Maoxie. Consequently, Rougui also showed a greater ability to absorb nitrogen from ammonium in the soil. These differences were particularly clear in the autumn, when the roots were accumulating theanine.(在相同的条件下种植这两种类型的植物后，研究人员收集了土壤样本，并使用基因分析来确定根部周围存在哪些微生物。两者的微生物非常不同。关键是，肉桂比毛蟹有更多与氮相关的微生物。因此，肉桂也表现出更强的吸收土壤中铵态氮的能力。这些差异在秋天尤其明显，因为根部正在积累茶氨酸)”可知，这两种茶被用来对比研究microbes对nitrogen的不同吸收能力。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据第五段“They report that this not only enhanced root growth in Maoxie seedlings by giving them a nitrogen boost, but also nearly tripled the theanine in the leaves.(他们报告说，这不仅通过给毛蟹幼苗提供氮来促进根系生长，而且还使叶片中的茶氨酸增加了近三倍)”可知，A选项“氮通常用于农业”正确。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite Neither, based on a new research in the journal Current Biology. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes(微生物).(一杯完美的茶，是往开水里加牛奶，还是相反？根据《当代生物学》杂志上的一项新研究，两者都不是。相反，首先必须准备的是微生物)”结合文章主要探讨微生物如何在茶叶种植的过程中给茶叶带来了更好的风味。故B选项“微生物和茶”最符合文章标题。故选B。
第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. 36 So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.
Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. 37
Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). 38 Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep.
39 Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences. 40 For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.
A．It can guarantee sufficient sleep.
B．It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.
C．The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age.
D．Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings.
E．This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues.
F．People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.
G．Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past.
【答案】36．E 37．F 38．D 39．B 40．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐可以改善睡眠，解释了背后的原因。
36．根据上文“Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether.(即使你最终能睡着，花太长时间入睡也会导致睡眠时间太少)”以及后文“So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.(所以入睡困难的人总是想知道他们如何才能睡得好)”可知，本句承接上文，说明花太长时间入睡的情况对人们的影响，后文给出解决方案。故E选项“如果这种情况持续下去，会对一个人的生活质量产生严重的影响”符合语境，故选E。
37．根据上文“Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime.(父母从经验中知道轻柔的音乐可以帮助婴儿入睡。科学支持这一点，表明所有年龄段的孩子，从婴儿到小学生，在听了舒适的音乐后睡得更好。幸运的是，孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人)”可知，上文提到“孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人”，说明其他年龄段的人也可以从中受益。故F选项“各年龄段的人都说听轻音乐后睡眠质量更好”符合语境，故选F。
38．根据上文“Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能).(听音乐可能改善睡眠的原因不止一个。音乐可以通过影响你的生理机能直接促进睡眠)”可知，本句具体说明音乐是如何影响生理机能促进睡眠的。故D选项“听音乐可以减轻你的压力，激发积极的情绪”符合语境，故选D。
39．根据后文“Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep.(研究考察了许多类型的音乐和播放列表，但对于最适合睡眠的音乐，还没有一个明确的答案)”可知，本句与最适合睡觉的音乐类型有关，B选项type对应后文types。故B选项“想知道最适合睡觉的音乐类型是很自然的”符合语境，故选B。
40．根据上文“One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences.(关于音乐如何影响一个人的身体，最重要的一点是他们自己的音乐偏好)”以及后文“For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.(对于那些不想设计自己的播放列表的人来说，在线音乐服务已经介入，通常提供睡眠或放松的播放列表)”可知，本句主要说明设计个人播放列表来促进睡眠。故G选项“有用的个人播放列表可能包括过去帮助睡眠的放松歌曲”符合语境，故选G。

第二节（共10小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分15分）
阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Recently, you may have noticed some new trends in the fashion industry, from “dopamine (多巴胺) dressing” to “tomato girl”. Now, it is the perfect time 56 (try) something new with the “Maillard style” that’s getting popular on social media.
The term “Maillard” originally refers to the Maillard 57 (react). This phenomenon is well-known in Western cuisine. It describes a chemical change that produces flavor chemicals and browning in foods such as toast and steak, as 58 (note) by BBC Science Focus.
59 (similar), Maillard-inspired fashion creates clothes 60 show different kinds of brown, like rich reddish-browns, warm yellow-browns, and delicate off-whites(米色). This makes 61 easier for people to think of the rich tastes food brings, 62 (create) pleasant emotions in their brains.
63 (compare) to the bright colors of “dopamine dressing” and the fresh “tomato girl” look, the dark earth colors that Maillard style uses reflect the autumn season and give people a 64 (comfort) feeling.
The style has also become 65 hit among many famous brands. At fashion shows showing off their new autumn products, brands like Miu Miu, Hermes, and Miuccia Prada have all presented Mailard-themed clothes one after another.
【答案】
56．to try 57．reaction 58．noted 59．Similarly 60．which/that 61．it 62．creating 63．Compared 64．comfortable 65．a
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了当下时尚界正流行的“美拉德”风格。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，正是尝试社交媒体上流行的“美拉德风格”新事物的最佳时机。it is time to do sth“是做某事的时候了”，固定句型，故填to try。
57．考查名词。句意：术语“美拉德”最初指的是美拉德反应。空处应填名词作动词短语refer to的宾语，reaction“反应”，故填reaction。
58．考查状语从句的省略。句意：BBC杂志《科学焦点》指出，它描述了一种化学变化，这种化学变化会在烤面包和牛排等食物中产生风味化学物质和褐变。分析句子可知，此处是as引导的状语从句，从句主语和主句一致，结合“by BBC Science Focus”可知，主语it和动词note之间是被动关系，故完整形式是as it is noted by BBC Science Focus，当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且从句含有be动词时，可将从句的主语和be动词省略，故填noted。
59．考查副词。句意：同样，受美拉德启发的时装也创造了不同种类的棕色，比如浓郁的红棕色、温暖的黄棕色和精致的米白色。空处作状语修饰整个句子，应用副词形式，首字母应大写，故填Similarly。
60．考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是clothes，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which或that引导，故填which/that。
61．考查it用法。句意：这使得人们更容易想到食物带来的丰富味道，在他们的大脑中产生愉快的情绪。空处应填it作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to think of the rich tastes food brings，故填it。
62．考查非谓语动词。句意同上。动词create的逻辑主语是前面的句子，两者之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词作结果状语，故填creating。
63．考查非谓语动词。句意：相比于“多巴胺穿衣”的鲜艳色彩和清新的“番茄女孩”，美拉德风格所采用的深色大地色体现了秋天的气息，给人一种舒适的感觉。动词compare和逻辑主语the dark earth colors之间是动宾关系，应用过去分词作状语，首字母应大写，故填Compared。
64．考查形容词。句意同上。空处应填形容词作定语，修饰名词feeling，comfortable“舒服的”，形容词，故填comfortable。
65．考查冠词。句意：这种款式在许多知名品牌中也很受欢迎。a hit表示“风靡一时的事物”，固定用法，故填a。

【答案】Dear Mike,
I’m more than delighted to learn that you’re preparing for the performance in the Chinese Culture Festival and ask for my recommendation for poems. Therefore, I’m writing to give you some suggestions.
Among all the well-known ancient Chinese poets and their great works, I strongly recommend Min Nong, written by Li Shen, to you. In the poem, by vividly describing a scene where farmers work hard in the field in hot summer, Li Shen conveyed his deep concerns for famers, and made an appeal to readers not to waste food.
I recommend Min Nong for its great popularity among the Chinese. Nearly every Chinese is taught to recite the poem at a young age. In addition, consisting of only four lines, the poem is easy to recite.
I hope my recommendation can do some help to you and wish you success in your performance!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Mrs. Johnson lost her husband to cancer after months of failed treatment. She spent every penny she had saved working as a teacher, hoping her husband’s illness wouldn’t return. She only had $5 left in her bank account and didn’t know how to survive. She was just living on leftovers and junk. What’s worse, she hadn’t paid the house rent.
Standing before the ATM, Mrs. Johnson put in her card and entered her password. In no time, she saw a five-dollar bill slide out of the machine. The old lady was so focused on the dollar bill that she barely looked at the screen.
Holding a bag full of about-outdated food items, the old lady slowly walked towards her house. Upon reaching her apartment door, she saw an envelope with her name on it in the mailbox.
Once she entered the house and kept the grocery bag on the kitchen counter, she slid the envelope out and opened it. It was an invitation for reunion from the school where she had taught all her life, but she didn’t feel like going there.
After having dinner, the old lady picked up her phone, hoping to find a job. A message caught her attention, which was a notice from her bank regarding her cash withdrawal. She read the message and was about to exit it when the remaining account balance caught her attention. A hundred thousand dollars! ! !
The next day, Mrs. Johnson visited the bank, thinking this was a big mistake. After checking, the bank told her the records showed that Norma Tyler transferred the money to her account. There was no mistake.
However, Mrs. Johnson didn’t know any Norma Tyler! After thinking about all her friends, relatives and acquaintances, Mrs. Johnson could only think of one Norma— one of the students who never performed well in class. Mrs. Johnson thought of how hard she worked with Norma. She wanted the girl to get good grades, but nothing worked. No matter how hard she tried to teach new concepts to the teenage girl, she would never understand a single word.
注意:
1. 续写词数为150 个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It hit Mrs. Johnson that she could attend the high school reunion to meet Norma.

【答案】It hit Mrs. Johnson that she could attend the high school reunion to meet Norma. The following evening, Mrs. Johnson entered the event. A young lady was introducing herself, saying her name was Norma Tyler. Upon hearing the familiar name, Mrs. Johnson stopped and turned around. She instantly realized that the young woman on the stage was the same high school student who struggled with her studies. But now, Norma looked nothing like her younger self. Mrs. Johnson could see the then-shy girl now full of confidence, making her feel so proud. But why did Norma send her a hundred thousand dollars
Norma said she wanted to thank a special teacher who never gave up on her. She pointed towards Mrs. Johnson. Suddenly, all the heads in the room turned towards Mrs. Johnson before a round of applause broke the momentary silence. Norma learned about Mrs. Johnson’s struggle after her husband’s death and immediately decided to start an online collection to help her, and in no time, classmates raised a hundred thousand dollars for her. Mrs. Johnson smiled as tears flew down her face, feeling that all her efforts in education were worth it.
