Plastic straws (吸管) have been a major problem in global discussions of environmental damage. Maybe because of their small size, the production cost of straws is low. In many countries, straws are offered freely after buying soft drinks. Therefore, plastic straws are one of the most used plastics and pollutants in the world.
The plastic straw is light and small. Due to their small size, plastic straws are often eaten by sea animals. Environmentalists have shown that the death of many sea animals is caused by eating plastic straws. The other damaging characteristic of plastic straws is that they are made of materials which cannot degrade. That means the materials cannot be changed into small harmless ones.
The most effective way of dealing with the environmental pollution caused by plastic straws is the reuse or banning (禁止) the use of plastic straws. Being plastics, the straws can be made into new items. Many organizations around the world change used straws into new products. In Africa, local communities collect used plastic straws and use them to make mats and bags. Another way of dealing with environmental pollution caused by plastic straws is placing a ban on their production and use. Experts advise governments to ban using plastic straws to save the environment. A few countries in the world, such as Rwanda, Macedonia, China, Kenya, have already banned the use of plastic bags and are expected to include plastic straws to save the environment. A few countries in the world, such as Rwanda, Macedonia, China, Kenya, have already banned the use of plastic bags and are expected to include plastic straws and bottles. But it will be a long way to do this effectively.
There are few environmentally friendly and biodegradable products to take the place of plastic straws. These products include paper straws and bamboo straws. However, such straws are usually expensive as their production cost is high. It’s still a question whether they can entirely take the place of plastic straws.
4. Why can people be free to use plastic straws
A. They are very cheap. B. They are light and small.
C. They are dangerous. D. They are easy to use.
5. What does the underlined word “degrade” in paragraph2 mean
A. Cut up. B. Break down. C. Burn up. D. Go by.
6. What can we learn from paragraph3
A. It’s not difficult to ban using plastic straws.
B. Many countries have stopped using plastic straws.
C. Experts advise people to stop producing plastic straws.
D. Some Africans change plastic straws into new products.
7. What does the author think of environmentally friendly straws
A. It is a must to use them.
B. It’s not easy to reuse them.
C. There are still some problems to be solved.
D. There are some other kinds of cheaper straws.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了塑料吸管对环境的危害、解决方法和可能的环保型替代产品。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“Maybe because of their small size, the production cost of straws is low. In many countries, straws are offered freely after buying soft drinks. (也许是因为它们的体积小，塑料吸管的生产成本很低。在许多国家，塑料吸管是在购买饮料后免费提供的)”可知，因为塑料吸管的生产成本很低、很便宜，所以人们才可以免费使用塑料吸管。故选A项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中划线词所在句下文“That means the materials cannot be changed into small harmless ones. (这意味着这些材料不能变成无害的小材料)”可知，塑料吸管是由无法降解的材料制成的，所以推知“The other damaging characteristic of plastic straws is that they are made of materials which cannot degrade.(塑料吸管的另一个破坏性特点是它们是由无法degrade的材料制成的。) ”中的degrade是“降解，分解”之意。A. Cut up切碎；B. Break down分解；C. Burn up分解；D. Go by过去，流逝。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“Being plastics, the straws can be made into new items. Many organizations around the world change used straws into new products. In Africa, local communities collect used plastic straws and use them to make mats and bags. (作为塑料，吸管可以制成新的物品。世界上许多组织都把吸管用在新产品上。在非洲，当地社区收集废旧塑料吸管，并用它们制作垫子和袋子)”可知，塑料吸管可以制成新物品，而在非洲，人们用废旧塑料吸管制作成新产品，如垫子和袋子。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“There are few environmentally friendly and biodegradable products to take the place of plastic straws. These products include paper straws and bamboo straws. However, such straws are usually expensive as their production cost is high. It’s still a question whether they can entirely take the place of plastic straws. (很少有环保和生物降解的产品取代塑料吸管。这些产品包括纸吸管、竹管。然而，由于生产成本高，这种吸管通常很贵。它们是否能完全取代塑料吸管，这仍是一个问题)”可知，作者认为环保吸管目前仍存在一些问题，比如替代品很少和生产成本高，所以在这些问题未解决前，是否能完全取代塑料吸管，这仍是一个问题。故选C项。
C
According to the Global Times, it is reported that two online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have gone viral in China. The first, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The responses are mixed. “Are you drunk ” asked one parent. In another similar video, shot by a Shanxi TV station, a father responded even less patiently — “I am going to a meeting, so cut the crap.”
Why don’t Chinese families use those words Theories revolve around the nature of Confucian teaching. “The parents’ responses show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive emotions,” Xia Xueluan, a sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times. “They are used to educating children with negative language.”
This isn’t the first time that China has done some soul-searching about familial love — last year China Daily asked a cross-section of people if they said “I love you” to their parents, spouses, and children. “I have never said ‘I love you’ to my family, and I don’t think I will in the future,” one 56-year-old man told the paper. “Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.”
Still, that doesn’t mean that love can’t be expressed. In a separate article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face (“I find it a bit odd”). Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one of her birthdays in June 2012. The pictures went viral online, being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.
“I didn’t sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention. “I have now memorized some of the comments on the collection of pictures.”
8. What can we infer from the text
A. It is not direct for Chinese families to say “I love you”.
B. Chinese parents are too proud to express “I love you”.
C. Chinese parents are good at expressing positive emotions.
D. Young parents in China are willing to express “I love you”.
9. Why don’t Chinese parents express “I love you” to their children
A. Because they can’t express it.
B. Because they are not in the habit of expressing so.
C. Because they think it unnecessary.
D. Because they think it should be done only among young couples.
10. Zhao Mengmeng expressed “I love you” to her father by ________.
A. giving him an album containing their photos B. kissing her father’s face and telling him by words
C. speaking it out bravely in a TV program D. writing out the three words in a letter
11. What’s the author’s attitude toward the statements about “I love you”
A. Opposed. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8 A 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。中国人一直以含蓄著称， 这一特点在向家人表达爱时也不例外。近来，两段视频引起了轰动，文章对此作了介绍。同时作者还举例解释了中国人为什么不直接说“我爱你”，并列举了其独特的表达方式。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段The parents’ responses show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive emotions.父母们的反应表明，许多中国人不擅于表达积极的情绪根据第三段中“Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.( 大声说出来让我很尴尬)”以及第四段中“Sometimes actions speak louder than words.(有时候行动比语言更响亮)”由此可推知，中国家庭喜欢用行动而不是语言来向父母表达自己的爱，并列举事例进行证明，中国人通常不会向家人直接表达爱。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Why don’t Chinese families use those words Theories revolve around the nature of Confucian teaching. ‘The parents’ responses show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive emotions,’ Xia Xueluan, a sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times. ‘They are used to educating children with negative language.’(为什么中国家庭不用这些词呢？理论围绕着儒家教义的本质展开。北京大学社会学家夏学銮在接受《环球时报》采访时表示：“父母的反应表明，很多中国人不擅长表达积极的情感。他们习惯于用负面语言教育孩子。”)”以及第三段中“last year China Daily asked a cross-section of people if they said 'I love you' to their parents, spouses, and children. 'I have never said ‘I love you’ to my family, and I don’t think I will in the future,' one 56-year-old man told the paper. 'Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.'”(去年，《中国日报》调查了不同阶层的人，问他们是否对父母、配偶和孩子说过“我爱你”。“我从来没有对我的家人说过‘我爱你’，我也不认为我以后会这样做，”一名56岁的男子告诉《中国日报》。“大声说出来让我很尴尬。”)”由此可知，中国父母不向他们的孩子表达“我爱你”，是因为他们没有这样表达的习惯。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In a separate article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face (“I find it a bit odd”). Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one of her birthdays in June 2012.”可知在另一篇文章中，《中国日报》采访了31岁的赵梦萌，她说自己从未当面告诉过父亲自己爱他(“我觉得这有点奇怪”)。有时候行动比语言更响亮。2012年6月，赵送给父亲一本相册，里面有她和父亲几乎每个生日时的合影。由此可知，赵梦萌送给父亲一本相册，里面是他们的照片，以此表达对父亲的爱。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中作者通过随机调查告诉我们，中国人为什么不习惯对家人说"I love you"，在分析完原因后，又通过具体的例子告诉我们中国人如何用一种含蓄的方式向家人表达爱。所有这些，作者只是在客观描述，没有添加自己的感情倾向。由此可推知，作者对“我爱你”这句话的态度是客观的。故选B。

【35题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：最后，我们回到开始的位置：换句话说，所有的动作都连接在一个无止境的、连续的流动中。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上下文可知，本句时态为一般现在时；主语为“all of the movements”，复数，和动词connect之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填are connected。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：太极拳的练习植根于中国传统哲学，特别是古老的阴阳观念。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词，修饰空后的“Chinese philosophy”。故填traditional。

【38题详解】
考查连词。句意：太极符号，或太极图，显示阴和阳在一起：阴象征黑暗，女性的力量在自然界，而阳代表光明，男性的力量。前后句表示对比关系或并列关系，所以用连词while或and连接。故填while/and。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：太极拳的目的是在生活的对立面之间达到平衡：阴和阳；软和硬；心灵和身体，等等。根据空后的“yin and yang”、“soft and hard”可知，空处指的是两者之间，用介词between。故填between。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：太极拳核心是气的概念，通常翻译为“生命能量”。考查非限制性定语从句的关系代词，先行词为“qi”，指物，在定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：不同的运动有助于在你的身体中移动气，对一个人的心理和精神健康产生积极的影响。这里为非谓语动词担当状语，和主句之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填producing。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
58. 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。
A 12-year-old boy saw something in a shop window. It was a necklace (项链) with shining pearls. But it needed five dollars.
Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora, who struggled to feed and clothe her five children.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. He told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “Once we went to New York, my mum saw a same one. I know she liked it very much, because she fixed her eyes on it. I will buy it for her. But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shop owner smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on such good-looking but costly things. It should keep for a while.”
Reuben had made up his mind to raise the five dollars and not tell anybody.
Reuben had an idea. He could collect the hessian sacks (麻袋) thrown away in the street and sell them back for five cents a piece.
Every day after school, Reuben walked down the town, collecting the hessian sacks. Reuben kept on his secret task. Often, he was cold, tired and hungry, but the thought of the necklace in the shop window supported him.
Eventually the time had come! It was Mothers` Day. He poured the coins (硬币) out and began to count (数). Then he counted again. He made it! Exactly five dollars, not a cent more, not a cent less.
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。
Holding the money in hands, Reuben went to the shop.

Mother opened the box carefully, and a shining necklace appeared.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Holding the money in hands, Reuben went to the shop. “I’ve got the money!” Reuben declared to the shop owner. The man put the necklace into a delicate box, wrapped it in brown paper, and then placed the box in Reuben’s hands. Holding the box, Reuben’s eyes glittered with joy. After exchanging goodbyes with the shop owner, Reuben rushed home to surprise his mother. “Mom! It’s for you!” Reuben exclaimed as he ran to her side. He placed the box in her hand.
Mother opened the box carefully, and a shining necklace appeared. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She took the pearl necklace out and cautiously put it on, tears of happiness beginning to blur her vision. Dora had never received such a precious gift. It was the best Mothers’ Day gift she had ever received. Yes, she was indeed not rich, but she was indeed happy. With tears rolling down her weather- beaten face, she smiled and scooped her son into her arms.

Plastic straws (吸管) have been a major problem in global discussions of environmental damage. Maybe because of their small size, the production cost of straws is low. In many countries, straws are offered freely after buying soft drinks. Therefore, plastic straws are one of the most used plastics and pollutants in the world.
The plastic straw is light and small. Due to their small size, plastic straws are often eaten by sea animals. Environmentalists have shown that the death of many sea animals is caused by eating plastic straws. The other damaging characteristic of plastic straws is that they are made of materials which cannot degrade. That means the materials cannot be changed into small harmless ones.
The most effective way of dealing with the environmental pollution caused by plastic straws is the reuse or banning (禁止) the use of plastic straws. Being plastics, the straws can be made into new items. Many organizations around the world change used straws into new products. In Africa, local communities collect used plastic straws and use them to make mats and bags. Another way of dealing with environmental pollution caused by plastic straws is placing a ban on their production and use. Experts advise governments to ban using plastic straws to save the environment. A few countries in the world, such as Rwanda, Macedonia, China, Kenya, have already banned the use of plastic bags and are expected to include plastic straws to save the environment. A few countries in the world, such as Rwanda, Macedonia, China, Kenya, have already banned the use of plastic bags and are expected to include plastic straws and bottles. But it will be a long way to do this effectively.
There are few environmentally friendly and biodegradable products to take the place of plastic straws. These products include paper straws and bamboo straws. However, such straws are usually expensive as their production cost is high. It’s still a question whether they can entirely take the place of plastic straws.
4. Why can people be free to use plastic straws
A. They are very cheap. B. They are light and small.
C. They are dangerous. D. They are easy to use.
5. What does the underlined word “degrade” in paragraph2 mean
A. Cut up. B. Break down. C. Burn up. D. Go by.
6. What can we learn from paragraph3
A. It’s not difficult to ban using plastic straws.
B. Many countries have stopped using plastic straws.
C. Experts advise people to stop producing plastic straws.
D. Some Africans change plastic straws into new products.
7 What does the author think of environmentally friendly straws
A. It is a must to use them.
B. It’s not easy to reuse them.
C. There are still some problems to be solved.
D. There are some other kinds of cheaper straws.
C
According to the Global Times, it is reported that two online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have gone viral in China. The first, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The responses are mixed. “Are you drunk ” asked one parent. In another similar video, shot by a Shanxi TV station, a father responded even less patiently — “I am going to a meeting, so cut the crap.”
Why don’t Chinese families use those words Theories revolve around the nature of Confucian teaching. “The parents’ responses show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive emotions,” Xia Xueluan, a sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times. “They are used to educating children with negative language.”
This isn’t the first time that China has done some soul-searching about familial love — last year China Daily asked a cross-section of people if they said “I love you” to their parents, spouses, and children. “I have never said ‘I love you’ to my family, and I don’t think I will in the future,” one 56-year-old man told the paper. “Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.”
Still, that doesn’t mean that love can’t be expressed. In a separate article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face (“I find it a bit odd”). Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one of her birthdays in June 2012. The pictures went viral online, being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.
“I didn’t sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention. “I have now memorized some of the comments on the collection of pictures.”
8. What can we infer from the text
A. It is not direct for Chinese families to say “I love you”.
B. Chinese parents are too proud to express “I love you”.
C. Chinese parents are good at expressing positive emotions.
D. Young parents in China are willing to express “I love you”.
9. Why don’t Chinese parents express “I love you” to their children
A. Because they can’t express it.
B. Because they are not in the habit of expressing so.
C. Because they think it unnecessary.
D. Because they think it should be done only among young couples.
10. Zhao Mengmeng expressed “I love you” to her father by ________.
A. giving him an album containing their photos B. kissing her father’s face and telling him by words
C. speaking it out bravely in a TV program D. writing out the three words in a letter
11. What’s the author’s attitude toward the statements about “I love you”
A. Opposed. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
二、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。

It’s been a hard year but, while we attempt to change what’s happening in the world, we can focus on boosting our positive emotions.

58. 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。
A 12-year-old boy saw something in a shop window. It was a necklace (项链) with shining pearls. But it needed five dollars.
Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora, who struggled to feed and clothe her five children.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. He told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “Once we went to New York, my mum saw a same one. I know she liked it very much, because she fixed her eyes on it. I will buy it for her. But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shop owner smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on such good-looking but costly things. It should keep for a while.”
Reuben had made up his mind to raise the five dollars and not tell anybody.
Reuben had an idea. He could collect the hessian sacks (麻袋) thrown away in the street and sell them back for five cents a piece.
Every day after school, Reuben walked down the town, collecting the hessian sacks. Reuben kept on his secret task. Often, he was cold, tired and hungry, but the thought of the necklace in the shop window supported him.
Eventually, the time had come! It was Mothers` Day. He poured the coins (硬币) out and began to count (数). Then he counted again. He made it! Exactly five dollars, not a cent more, not a cent less.
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。
Holding the money in hands, Reuben went to the shop.
