Why do I stand up for animals, and not for all those people who have no homes or no food A poor child, no matter how hard his life is, is at least a member of the human race. This makes his chances of spending his life in a dark and small cage, or suffering from painful and frightening medical experiments a lot smaller. Should such a fate (命运) fall on him,there's a chance that other people will stand up for him.
But with animals, the situation is difficult. People have the right to use animals in an economically best way, which has resulted in the unscrupulous processing of animals. Producers of medicine are even legally allowed to kill animals and cut them open before a new medicine may be tested on humans. Partly, animal abuse is based on many people's belief that animals are inferior (低等的) to humans, a belief that is also the basis of one of the most unacceptable forms of animal abuse, namely animal testing and factory farming.
I believe that any person may do the most terrible things to other people at some point, if they allow something so defenseless as an animal to be abused. Personally, I think that the public have no idea of the great acts of violence that are being committed in their name. And it is possible to right large-scale (大范围的) wrongs, if enough people learn to see through the lies of a few.
In conclusion, I do think it's possible to live together with animals in a responsible way everywhere in the world, as long as people know about the wrongs that exist and what causes them. What we don't know won't hurt us; even in our country and elsewhere we “know nothing”, and that's why deep-rooted wrongs exist and large profits (利润) can be made at the cost of animals. This is the reason why I stand up for organizations that defend animal rights: Somehow I believe that a society that takes responsibility for its weakest and most dependent members, will also be better for its people.
24．Why does the author mention the poor
A．To show their living conditions. B．To call for help from the public.
C．To attract people's attention to them. D．To highlight animals' tough situation.
25．What does the underlined word “unscrupulous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Uncertain. B．Unsatisfying.
C．Complex. D．Shameless.
26．What is the main reason for animal abuse
A．People's unawareness. B．Animals' medical value.
C．The absence of animal laws. D．The irresponsibility of society.
27．What's the author's attitude toward animal rights organizations
A．Positive. B．Negative.
C．Indecisive. D．Unclear.
In America, after middle school comes high school, which includes grades 9 through 12. Students are required to take compulsory subjects like English, social studies, math, science, and physical education. In addition, they choose among elective subjects(选修科目) to complete their high school education. Electives include subjects in technology, music, art, and foreign languages.
Each student in the school has their own locker(储物柜) for books and personal items. This convenience saves students from carrying textbooks, and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects.
Cheating in any form is strictly prohibited(禁止) in American schools. And in fact, high school students usually don't cheat. If they are caught cheating, they will have to face severe punishment.
Each school holds certain yearly activities for all school students, such as homecoming(返校节), prom night(学年舞会), holiday celebrations, etc.
Most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local games, and all students are encouraged to take part in athletics. Schools often offer football, baseball and softball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer. Some may even have sports like golf, swimming, gymnastics and cross-country skiing.
Many high school students have part-time jobs by the age of 15 or 16, some even earlier. Their first jobs are often babysitting or cutting lawns(草坪), but later they will probably get a job at a fast-food restaurant, video store, or clothing shop.
Sixteen years old is legal(法定) driving age in most states, and students usually want to own a car as soon as they can. Some parents allow their children to drive a family car, and may even buy a car as a graduation present. Others prefer that their sons or daughters earn enough to buy a used car. Many teenagers feel it’s necessary to own a car, and will do whatever it takes to be able to drive.

In business, as in life, good leaders hope for the best and plan for the worst. There’s a reason that experts refer to the regular expansion and contraction of the economy as the business cycle.
Even producers of the most recession-proof products—toiletries, beer, funeral services—need to consider how rising and falling consumer sentiment will affect their bottom line.
Of course, timing the next downturn is easier said than done. So as we head into a new year, we reached out to the Fast Company Impact Council—a leadership group of 200 founders, executives, and creatives—to gauge how some of the smartest and most innovative people in business are thinking about a possible recession.
About 4 in 10 respondents told us they expect the global economy in 2020 to perform about the same. But remarkably, nearly 45% predicted that the next 12 months would be worse for business. Only 16% said that the global economy would be better.
Impact Council members were more like-minded about the timing of the next downturn. While 21% predicted a recession would hit in 2020, the majority (54%) said it would likely arrive in 2021, after the next presidential election. About 15% responded that the next recession would come in 2022. Only 1 in 10 said the economy would continue to grow until 2023 or later.
32．In business, what is a good leader hope for
A．Earn lots of money as possible. B．Make the best plan for the worst.
C．Sell out the whole products. D．Predict the economic trends in the future.
33．How many people predict global economy in 2020 will be better
A．nearly 45%. B．less than 15%. C．over 54%. D．only 16%.
34．When will the economy most likely grow again
A．In 2020. B．In 2021. C．In 2022 . D．In 2023.
35．What is the best title for this passage
A．Predict about the future economy. B．the growth of the future economy.
C．Recession in economy. D．How to be a good economic leader .
Three Key Steps to Motivate Your Team to Strive for Excellence
It is a known fact that one of the most compelling reasons employees leave their job is because they feel unappreciated, or that they bring no real value to their team. 36 In order to motivate and build up a team for excellence, there are some key steps that you should follow.
37
This does not mean that you should hang out with them at the local bar, or become one of their weekend buddies. What it does mean is that if you want to motivate your team to excellence, then you should take the time to get to know your team personally by talking individually to them at different times, asking basic questions, and letting them see that you are human and accessible. 38
Recognize them as a person, not just their ability.
Too often, we are quick to praise people for a job well done, but we fail to let the person know that we appreciate them as a person. Praise them for that job well done, but take notice of their personal qualities and talents and how they bring value to the team. 39 For example: “Hey Johnny, those were some great ideas you came up with in the team meeting today, I like the way you think!”
Make their success public.
Take time in your team meetings each week to recognize and talk about the people who made a difference that week. 40 This makes others want to push harder and do more as they see that hard work is valued. Many times other team members do not know what has happened in other departments, or the accomplishments that they have had, so this is also a great way for your team to keep up with the latest and greatest.
A．Build a relationship with your team.
B．Treat your team to something special.
C．Let the rest of the team see that you took notice and you appreciate it.
D．People will find it difficult to “go along” with you if they cannot “get along” with you.
E．Something special happens when we hear our name—it tells us that we are important.
F．If you want to motivate your team to do their very best, you have to let them know that they are a vital part of your team.
G．This should be done in person randomly so that they can see that you are the one who noticed and you know they are on your team.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Dress-Up Day
Lily had been working on her bunny costume for weeks. She cut up an old gray sweater to make floppy ears, glued white cotton balls onto a belt for a tail, and even drew a mask with a pink nose. Her mom’s silver-painted sunglasses completed her “mysterious moon rabbit” look. She couldn’t wait to hop through school and make her classmates smile. Her school’s Dress-Up Day was supposed to be the best day ever—until she woke up with a fever the night before.
“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” her mom said, pressing a cool towel to Lily’s forehead, “You need to rest.” Shivering under blankets, she listened to the rain outside and tears welled up her eyes. Lily stared at her costume hanging on the closet door, its ears drooping (下垂) as sadly as she felt. She cried herself to sleep, imagining her classmates laughing in their superhero capes and princess gowns without her.
“Why not wear it to school today You worked so hard.” her mom said the next morning, handing her the costume, “Real magic isn’t confined (局限) to a single day.” Lily hesitated. Going late felt like showing up to a party after the cake was gone. But she stuffed the costume Rabbit into her backpack anyway.
Lily’s heart pounded as she entered school late. The hallway felt huge and empty as Lily shuffled in, ears drooping. Whispers coiled (盘绕) around her like smoke, “Is she a sick rabbit ” “Look at those strange glasses!” Her cheeks burned hotter than her fever had. Her ears drooped as she stared at the floor, wishing she could disappear.
Suddenly, a noise came. A boy jumped out of a locker, his orange sweatshirt lumpy with foam padding, a green beanie sprouting felt leaves. Everyone turned. There stood Hugo, a shy boy from her science class, wearing a bright orange T-shirt stuffed with pillows. He had a green paper hat shaped like carrot leaves and brown boots. He looked like a carrot.
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。
Paragraph 1: He adjusted his crooked gold-painted glasses and smiled.

W: I’m training for the big race coming up. I have a lot of preparation to do.
M: But you were such a good runner in university. I’m surprised you need to prepare so much.
W: That was short distance running. When I ran, it was less than one kilometer. For someone like me, changing from that to medium distance events can feel like a marathon.
M: You should practice outside on the real road as well.
W: I plan to, when the summer comes next month.（For now, I’m stuck in the gym. I can’t even go as much as I want. I have to book my time to train before I go, as the gym cannot have too many people inside at once. That’s why I didn’t go today. It’s a real pain in the neck.
M: Oh, and there were no times left
W: Exactly. By the time I got home yesterday and got on their website, all of the times were taken.
M: That’s unfortunate. I know you’ve paid a lot for that gym. I would complain! Write them an email or something. They should be open for longer.
W: I plan too. After I have dinner, I’m going to make a call.
M：May they will give you a discount.
W: Honestly, I don’t even care about the money. I just cannot miss more training sessions.
18．B 19．C 20．B
【原文】
M: Hi, my talk today is about an invention, the modern car seat belt.
The inventor of the modern car seat belt was a Swedish man called Nils Bohlin. Bohlin had trained as a mechanical engineer at college before gaining his first employment as an aircraft designer. He did well, so was invited to join a car manufacturing company as a safety engineer.
Bohlin had often worked on improving seats and seat belts for planes since starting his working life in 1942. After joining the car manufacturer in 1958, he spent the following 12 months developing his ideas for cars, and then a car featuring Bohlin’s creation on both front seats was introduced, making it the earliest example of a vehicle with modern seat belts.
However, it took many years for them to become widely accepted. Japan made it a rule that everyone must wear seat belts in their cars across the whole country in1971．A year earlier, two of the six states in Australia had introduced similar rules. France was the first European nation to create seat belt laws several years later. It’s incredible to think that some investment in research and development in the manufacturing industry has had such a huge global impact.
21．A 22．B 23．B
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了美国有许多大型城市公园，可以缓解日常生活的压力，让人耳目一新。
21．细节理解题。从Lake Houston Wilderness Park部分第一句“Lake Houston is the only park in the city of Houston’s park system that allows overnight camping. (休斯敦湖是休斯敦城市公园系统中唯一允许过夜露营的公园)”可知，人们可以露营过夜是休斯敦湖荒野公园的特别之处。故选A。
22．细节理解题。从Lake Stanley Draper部分最后一句“Mountain bikers love the rugged landform that offers a thrilling escape through thick forests, curves, and slopes. (山地自行车爱好者喜欢崎岖的地形，通过茂密的森林、弯道和斜坡，可以获得惊险刺激的逃生机会)”可知，史坦利德雷柏湖对山地自行车手有吸引力。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据Lake Houston Wilderness Park部分的“Location: 30 minutes north of downtown Houston, Texas(地点：德克萨斯州休斯敦市中心以北30分钟车程)”，Forest Park部分的“Location: in the northwest corner of Portland, Oregon(位置：俄勒冈州波特兰市西北角)”，Lake Stanley Draper部分的“Location: in Southeast Oklahoma City, Oklahoma(地点：俄克拉何马州东南部俄克拉何马市)”和Jefferson Memorial Forest部分“Location: 15 miles south of downtown Louisville, Kentucky(位置：肯塔基州路易斯维尔市城南15英里)”可知，这四个自然公园的共同之处是它们都是城市公园，可以从城市内部进入。故选B。
24．D 25．D 26．A 27．A
【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者表达了自己对动物处境的担忧，分析了原因，并提出了解决这个现状的建议。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段的“A poor child, no matter how hard his life is, is at least a member of the human race. This makes his chances of spending his life in a dark and small cage, or suffering from painful and frightening medical experiments a lot smaller.”（一个贫穷的孩子，无论生活多么艰难，至少也是人类的一员。这使得他在黑暗和狭小的笼子里度过一生，或遭受痛苦和可怕的医学实验的机会大大减少。）和第二段的“But with animals, the situation is difficult.”（但对于动物来说，情况就很困难了。）可知，作者提到穷人是为了突出动物的艰难处境， 故选D。
25．词义猜测题。根据第二段的“People have the right to use animals in an economically best way, which has resulted in the unscrupulous processing of animals. Producers of medicine are even legally allowed to kill animals and cut them open before a new medicine may be tested on humans.”（人们有权以最经济的方式使用动物，这导致了unscrupulous处理动物。法律甚至允许药品生产商在新药进行人体试验前杀死动物并将其剖开。）可知，动物没有受到法律的保护，因此人们有权以最经济的方式使用动物，这导致了对动物的无良处理，也就是人们不会因为处理或加工动物而感到羞耻，因此划线词unscrupulous意为“肆无忌惮的；寡廉鲜耻的”，即shameless，故选D。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Personally, I think that the public have no idea of the great acts of violence that are being committed in their name.”（就我个人而言，我认为公众对以他们的名义实施的重大暴力行为一无所知。）可知，虐待动物的主要原因是人们没有意识到虐待动物一事，故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“This is the reason why I stand up for organizations that defend animal rights: Somehow I believe that a society that takes responsibility for its weakest and most dependent members, will also be better for its people.”（这就是为什么我支持保护动物权利的组织的原因：在某种程度上，我相信一个为最弱和最依赖它的成员负责的社会，也会对它的人民更好。）可知，作者支持保护动物权利的组织，说明作者对动物权利组织的态度是积极的，故选A。

32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In business, as in life, good leaders hope for the best and plan for the worst.(在商业中，就像在生活中一样，好的领导者会抱最好的希望，做最坏的打算)”可知，在商业中，一个好的领导者的期望是为最坏的情况做最好的计划。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Only 16% said that the global economy would be better.(只有16%的人认为全球经济会更好)”可知，有16%的人预测2020年全球经济会更好。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Only 1 in 10 said the economy would continue to grow until 2023 or later.( 只有十分之一的人表示，美国经济将持续增长至2023年或更迟)”可知，经济最有可能在2023年恢复增长。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“So as we head into a new year, we reached out to the Fast Company Impact Council—a leadership group of 200 founders, executives, and creatives—to gauge how some of the smartest and most innovative people in business are thinking about a possible recession.(因此，在我们进入新的一年之际，我们联系了快速公司影响委员会——一个由200名创始人、高管和创意人士组成的领导小组——来评估一些最聪明、最具创新精神的商界人士对可能的经济衰退的看法)” 文章主要介绍了一个由200名创始人、高管和创意人士组成的领导小组对未来经济的预测情况。可知，A选项“预测未来经济”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。众所周知，员工离开工作岗位最令人信服的原因之一就是他们觉得自己不受赏识，或者他们没有给团队带来真正的价值。如果你想激励你的团队做到最好，你必须让他们知道他们是你团队的重要组成部分。文章主要说明了激励团队的三个关键步骤。
36．根据上文“It is a known fact that one of the most compelling reasons employees leave their job is because they feel unappreciated, or that they bring no real value to their team.(众所周知，员工离开工作岗位最令人信服的原因之一就是他们觉得自己不受赏识，或者他们没有给团队带来真正的价值)”以及后文“In order to motivate and build up a team for excellence, there are some key steps that you should follow.(为了激励和建立一个卓越的团队，有一些关键步骤，你应该遵循)”可知，上文提到了员工辞职的原因，后文则提到了要激励和建立卓越的团队，可知本句承上启下，说明要激励团队做到最好的方式，后文中motivate and build up a team与F选项中motivate your team相对应。故F选项“如果你想激励你的团队做到最好，你必须让他们知道他们是你团队的重要组成部分”符合语境，故选F。
37．根据后文“This does not mean that you should hang out with them at the local bar, or become one of their weekend buddies. What it does mean is that if you want to motivate your team to excellence, then you should take the time to get to know your team personally by talking individually to them at different times, asking basic questions, and letting them see that you are human and accessible.(这并不意味着你应该和他们一起去当地的酒吧，或者成为他们的周末伙伴。这意味着，如果你想激励你的团队走向卓越，那么你应该花时间亲自了解你的团队，在不同的时间单独与他们交谈，问一些基本的问题，让他们看到你是人，是可以接近的)”可知，本段主要是在说明花时间了解自己的团队，和团队成员培养关系，故A选项“与你的团队培养关系”符合语境，故选A。
38．根据上文“This does not mean that you should hang out with them at the local bar, or become one of their weekend buddies. What it does mean is that if you want to motivate your team to excellence, then you should take the time to get to know your team personally by talking individually to them at different times, asking basic questions, and letting them see that you are human and accessible.(这并不意味着你应该和他们一起去当地的酒吧，或者成为他们的周末伙伴。这意味着，如果你想激励你的团队走向卓越，那么你应该花时间亲自了解你的团队，在不同的时间单独与他们交谈，问一些基本的问题，让他们看到你是人，是可以接近的)”可知，上文主要是在说明要和团队培养关系，让他们看到领导也是人，是可以接近的，本句为本段最后一句，可推知是在承接上文说明这么做的原因。故D选项“如果人们不能和你愉快相处，他们会发现很难和你共事”符合语境，故选D。
39．根据上文“Too often, we are quick to praise people for a job well done, but we fail to let the person know that we appreciate them as a person. Praise them for that job well done, but take notice of their personal qualities and talents and how they bring value to the team.(很多时候，我们很容易因为别人的工作做得很好而表扬他们，但我们没有让那个人知道我们是从个人角度来欣赏他们的。赞扬他们出色的工作，但要注意他们的个人素质和才能，以及他们如何为团队带来价值)”以及后文“For example: “Hey Johnny, those were some great ideas you came up with in the team meeting today, I like the way you think!”(例如：“嘿，约翰尼，你今天小组会议上提出的一些好主意，我喜欢你的思考方式!”)”可知，本段主要在说明如何表扬员工，且强调了要注意到的是员工的个人素质和才能，故本句应当承上启下，继续说明表扬员工个人素质和才能的作用和意义，故G选项“这应该随机地亲自去做，这样他们就可以看到你是注意到他们的人，而且你能了解到他们是你的团队成员”符合语境，故选G。
40．根据上文“Take time in your team meetings each week to recognize and talk about the people who made a difference that week.(每周花点时间在团队会议上，找出并讨论当周做出不同贡献的人)”以及后文“This makes others want to push harder and do more as they see that hard work is valued. (这让其他人看到努力工作是有价值的，就会想要更努力地工作，做得更多)”可知，上文提到讨论团队中做出了不同贡献的人，后文提到让其他人看到努力工作有价值，可推知本句是在说明讨论做出不同贡献的人的行为要让其他成员看到，C选项中the rest of the team与后文others相对应。故C选项“让团队的其他成员看到你注意到了这一点，并对此表示感谢。”符合语境，故选C。

【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了近十年中国家庭在孩子教育上的投入。父母对教育的热情没有错，但是父母应该记住，花钱不一定能保证孩子得到更好的教育。钱应该花在最重要的地方。
56．考查现在完成时。句意：在过去的十年里，中国家庭在教育上的支出有所增加，这是一个事实。根据时间状语in the past decade可知，句子用现在完成时，且这里是动名词family spending作主语，所以谓语动词用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填has increased。
57．考查名词复数。句意：造成教育支出不断增长的因素有很多，“让孩子赢在起跑线上”就是其中之一。词组a large number of意思是“大量的”，修饰可数名词复数。故填factors。
58．考查现在分词。句意：许多家长在学前教育上花了很多钱，把孩子送到最好的幼儿园，而幼儿园的学费要比大学高得多。本句已有谓语动词spend ，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词，句子主语parents和send之间是主动关系，是现在分词作伴随状语。故填sending。
59．考查形容词比较级。句意：同上。由空后比较词than可知，空处形容词high需用其比较级形式，此处指幼儿园的学费要比大学高得多。故填higher。
60．考查定语从句。句意：通常情况下，学生希望在他们居住的地区上学。分析句子结构可知，空处需用关系词引导定语从句，先行词是the district，指地点，关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
61．考查副词。句意：然而,许多父母更喜欢把孩子送到其他地区的学校,而不考虑大额的“捐款”。根据上句“通常情况下，学生希望在他们居住的地区就读。”可知，此处与上句构成转折关系。故填However。
62．考查不定冠词。句意：然而,许多父母更喜欢把孩子送到其他地区的学校,而不考虑大额的“捐款”。此处用不定冠词泛指一个更好的学校，且better-known是以辅音音素开头的词。故填a。
63．考查介词。句意：除了正规教育之外，家长还支付各种课外项目的费用，包括普通的绘画或舞蹈课程，以及昂贵的海外夏令营。由空后“common painting or dancing classes to expensive overseas summer camps.”可知，此处表示列举，需用介词including。故填including。
64．考查副词。句意：父母对教育的热情没有错，但是父母应该记住，花钱不一定能保证孩子得到更好的教育。修饰动词guarantee用副词，固定搭配：not necessarily“不一定”。故填necessarily。
65．考查动词时态。句意：钱应该用在最重要的地方。本句陈述事实，谓语动词需用一般现在时态，主语是第三人称单数，所以空处谓语动词需用单数。故填matters。

67． He adjusted his crooked gold-painted glasses and smiled. “Hi, Moon Rabbit!” he said happily, holding up a bag of baby carrots, “I’m a lost space carrot!” Something in his playful tone dissolved Lily’s shame. Lily froze, then giggled. Their laughter broke the tension. Soon, Lily and Hugo were racing around the playground, inventing silly rules for a game called “Carrot Chase.” By the second round, a girl wearing a dinosaur hoodie from the day before joined in. Then a boy wrapped a towel around his shoulders like a cape and joined in.
More and more kids followed, joining the running. The girl who’d mocked Lily’s glasses now wore her sweater backward as “robot armor,” shouting, “GO!” A boy draped napkins over his arms like bat wings, declaring himself the “Cabbage Bat.” Lily glanced at her reflection in her silver sunglasses—no longer a lonely moon rabbit, but the captain of a joy-filled universe. At that moment, Lily understood: courage wasn’t a lack of fear, but the choice to spark joy even when your ears droop.
