　　Author and illustrator Jerry Craft， who won a Newbery Medal for his novel New Kid， had never been to Africa.So he had no clue what to expect from students when he arrived at Nyaani Primary School in the Kenyan village of Wamunyu in July.
　　It was quite the introduction for Craft and the rest of the literacy （读写能力） team assembled （聚集） by his buddy Kwame Alexander， the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 39 books.“Part of my job is speaking about books all around the world，” says Alexander， whose enthusiasm for his mission has taken him to many countries.
　　His group of 22 was a mix of experts who were prepared to cover a wide range of topics.When Craft challenged a 12-year-old to a read-off of the Dr Seuss classic Fox in Socks， he was blown away by her performance.
　　Alexander was impressed with the students in Kenya. “They’re still kids who want to imagine a better world，” he says.“When you give them permission to start saying something， it is worth hearing.And I think that makes them feel valued， and it mkes them feel that they matter.”
　　It also opens their minds to the idea that they could be authors one day too.“They taught us how to develop our talents，” says Christine Kabunde， a 13-year-old in grade 7， who was inspired by the possible opportunities.Angel Mueni， also in grade 7， says the experience encouraged her to read more.
　　These interactions and the lasting memories they create are why such visits are important for children， explains Gabriel Dinda， executive director of Writers Guild Kenya.“When an international author comes， it energizes everyone locally，” he says.
　　Many of the folks from this trip are certain to return.“I can see how people make this a life’s calling and go back every year，” Craft says.And Alexander and several educators in the group have been drawing up plans for a global literacy summit （峰会） in Kenya.“When you have a mission， you don’t have a choice of not doing it，” Alexander says.“It becomes part of your life.”
24.Why did Jerry Craft visit Kenya？（　　）
A.To popularize his new book. B.To seek inspiration for his books.
C.To attend an educational program. D.To have an understanding of African culture.
25.What do the two seventh-graders’ words show？（　　）
A.They are trying to make their voices heard.
B.They hope to make a difference to the world.
C.The experience allowed them to show their talents.
D.The experience has had a positive influence on them.
26.What does Kwame Alexander plan to do？（　　）
A.Teach in Kenya. B.Write books about Kenya.
C.Revisit Kenya to help develop literacy. D.Call on Kenyan youths to read good books.
27.What is the best title for the text？（　　）
A.Authors Explore the Value of Life in Kenya
B.Kids in Kenya Paint Their Future with Words
C.Kenyan Kids Learn Writing from Top Kids’ Authors
D.Prize-winning Authors Meet School Kids in Kenya

　　Pedal-assist cargo bikes （脚踏助力货运自行车） may take the place of delivery trucks in New York City.The bikes have four wheels and are wider than the delivery bikes on our roads at present.But some people are pushing back against the plan to roll them out.
　　New York City people love their deliveries.As many as 80% of households get at least one delivery per week， according to the Department of Transportation （DOT）.If the DOT has its way， new wider pedal-assist cargo bikes will roll across the city， which are easier on the environment than trucks.
　　“Anything that saves energy in the city would be great，” said Heidi Hopperfeld， who lives in the Upper West Side.
　　The pedal-assist cargo bikes are 10 feet long and 4 feet wide and are stronger than present ones that are 3 feet wide and three-wheeled.Some people worry they could make the roads even more congested.“I think it will create more problems.There’s already heavy traffic on the roads，” said Louis Munoz from the Upper West Side.
　　City leaders say two of the bikes can take the place of one traditional delivery truck， adding that the number of big delivery trucks could be greatly reduced by having the new cargo bikes start at the rivers to line up and load up.
　　“Down at Pier 92， which is by the river， there’s a discussion about bringing the cargo in there on the ships and then using the bikes from there，” Councilwoman Gale Brewer said.Brewer likes the plan， but only if they improve the roads and make traffic rules stricter.
　　“First， enlarge the bike lanes （车道）.You have to make sure that the cargo bike does not unload on the sidewalk.They have to unload in the street and， three， the rules of the road have to be enforced，” Brewer said.
　　The DOT will get public input on the plan during an online hearing scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.Opinions will be taken via DOT email.
28.What is Heidi Hopperfeld’s attitude toward the plan？（　　）
A.Curious. B.Supportive.
C.Uncertain. D.Doubtful.
29.What do the underlined words “more congested” in Paragraph 4 mean？（　　）
A.Noisier. B.Narrower.
C.More crowded. D.More dangerous.
30.What does Gale Brewer talk about in Paragraph 6？（　　）
A.The importance of cargo bikes to Pier 92.
B.The benefit of using cargo bikes at Pier 92.
C.The transportation of cargo bikes to Pier 92.
D.The possibility of using cargo bikes at Pier 92.
31.What should be done first for Gale Brewer to recognize the plan？（　　）
A.Holding a public hearing online. B.Raising money to buy cargo bikes.
C.Making some necessary traffic changes. D.Preparing large parking spaces for cargo bikes.
D
　　Hurricane season is here.Fiona ruined Puerto Rico， and less than two weeks later， Ian struck the west coast of Florida and its remnants （残余部分） moved up and hit the Eastern Seaboard.
　　Extreme weather events like Ian and Fiona have become more intense because of climate change.That reality has implications for those of us in health care.We have a duty to protect and advance the health of our patients.
　　We typically think of health as something doctors monitor， offering treatment such as prescription medications as needed.But in reality， only about 20% of a person’s health is attributable to the medical care they receive.Social determinants such as people’s neighbourhood and socio-economic status are actually responsible for 40% of a person’s health outcomes. It’s a sad truth that a ZIP code can be more predictive of a person’s health than his or her genetic code.
　　Consider how extreme weather events such as this summer’s heat waves affected communities unequally.Poor urban neighbourhoods， with sparse tree cover but plenty of concrete and asphalt， absorb and retain the heat of the sun’s rays， while leafy， shaded countrysides just a few miles away stay much cooler.A University of California-San Diego study that measured land surface temperatures in over 1，000 counties across the United States found that neighbourhoods with the lowest average education and income levels generally recorded higher temperatures.
　　Extreme weather events such as flood can threaten people’s physical and mental health long after it recedes.Almost 1 in 3 people in the flooded area were estimated to have suffered from certain post-traumatic stress disorder.Therefore， physicians in regions at increased risk of natural disasters may need to be ready to deliver more mental health care.For example， doctors in drought-stricken areas may need to make water safety a part of their conversations with patients， because groundwater sources can become unsafe to drink without sufficient rainfall.
　　Climate change has posed an immediate and dire health threat.Now is the time for health care providers to take collective action to adapt to this unfortunate reality.
32.What can we infer from Paragraph 3？（　　）
A.ZIP code largely tells a person’s health outcomes.
B.A person’s genetic code is determined by ZIP code.
C.A person’s genetic code is less important than ZIP code.
D.ZIP code is most responsible for people’s health outcomes.
33.Why did the author mention poor urban neighbourhoods？（　　）
A.To show that people with the lowest education have the lowest income.
B.To show that poor people tend to be more exposed to extreme weather.
C.To show that shaded countrysides stay much cooler than urban areas.
D.To show that poor people live in a less-environment-friendly community.
34.How many kinds of extreme weather are mentioned in the passage？（　　）
A.2. B.3.
C.4. D.5.
35.What is the tone of the passage？（　　）
A.Objective. B.Urgent.
C.Optimistic. D.Worried.

　　I believe that Classic Literature — truly Great Literature — is something worth treasuring， learning about， experiencing， re-reading， and reflecting on.However， explaining the exact qualities that make a piece of literature “Great” is never easy.36.（　　）.
　　37.（　　）， but also observe something larger.
　　A great writer has something specific to say， or perhaps， more typically， a big question to ask about the nature of the world as it was in the times of that writer.But a great work also observes truths about the human condition of any age.

　　39.（　　）.Either the style of a great work is pretty interesting and beautiful， or the drama leaves us breathless， or the characters or scenes are so expertly drawn.We get great enjoyment from the high aesthetic （审美的） experience of reading great literature.
　　Great literature is complex enough to offer us something new every time we read it.
　　Like all great art， great works are based on conflict and tension — not just conflicting characters， but also conflicting ideas， images， and viewpoints.40.（　　）.
A.But I want to have a try here， so here goes
B.Great literature is aesthetically wonderful
C.We may agree or disagree with what we are reading
D.A great work does show the writer’s purposes quite clearly
E.Great works may present and explain something about their own times
F.Most great literature helps us grow our minds and the quality of our thought

　　As he moved quickly down the street， Winston wondered why he hadn’t spoken up to prevent the terrible haircut.He felt sad and questioned why this had happened to him.Did the barber give him this messed-up haircut on purpose？Winston didn’t believe it because the barber looked very friendly.But it seemed so crazy！Could he have unknowingly offended （冒犯） the barber， and this disastrous hairstyle was the barber’s way of getting back at him？

　　His mother looked very surprised.She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.“Oh， dear，” she shouted.“What happened？” Winston stood silently for a moment before letting out his anger.He blamed his mom for bringing him to this place， forcing him to attend a new school where he believed everyone would make fun of him.He also said he hated this terrible hairstyle， and his hair was beyond fixing.
　　Just as his anger was about to grow， the doorbell rang.Winston’s mom calmly told him to answer it.As he opened the door， he forgot to cover his terrible haircut， and there stood his cousin Jack.Since it was Saturday today， they had planned to go skating together.Winston felt extremely embarrassed.

（Text 5）
M：What do you think of my paper？
W：The ideas are good. If I were you， though， I’d write the last two paragraphs again to make it a little clearer.
（Text 6）
M：Can you tell me how to get to the TV station by bus？
W：Take bus No.22. Don’t get off until the fifth stop， which is Silver Road.
M：Silver Road？ Aren’t there many bars？
W：Yes. Many foreigners like to go there. It will take you an hour to get there if the traffic lights are working properly.
M：I have an interview at 2：30 p.m. I don’t think I should go there by bus.

W：Good morning， Mr Smith. I must apologise to you for making so much noise last night.

（Text 10）
W：Good morning， Mr Black. You said you would give us an introduction to Chinese dragons this time. Shall we begin now？
M：OK. We are not quite certain how Chinese dragons first came about. Some people believed that they ruled over water， such as waterfalls， rivers and the ocean. In the eyes of Europeans， dragons are considered to be evil creatures， but in China， Chinese dragons mean power， strength and good luck. The Chinese dragon is present in many aspects of Chinese life. In the Chinese language， people that are considered to be excellent are compared to dragons， while people associated with failure are compared to other living things， such as insects.Only emperors were able to use dragons， and both emperors and dragons are related to the lucky number nine. The number nine is also linked with dragons in the way that people describe them as being made up of nine different animals.
The dragon is sometimes used in the West to stand for China. Instead， it is seen as an example of culture in China. In Hong Kong， the dragon is used in the design of “Brand Hong Kong”， an image used to promote Hong Kong as an international brand name.

28.B　观点态度题。根据第二段中的new wider pedal-assist cargo bikes ...environment than trucks和第三段中Heidi Hopperfeld所说的Anything that saves energy in the city would be great可知，新的更宽的脚踏助力货运自行车比卡车更环保，Heidi Hopperfeld说在市里任何能节约能源的东西都是很棒的。由此推断，他对纽约市计划在街头使用脚踏助力货运自行车持支持态度。
29.C　词义猜测题。根据第四段中Louis Munoz所说的I think it will create more problems.There’s already heavy traffic on the roads可知，他认为道路已经很堵了。由此推断，使用这么大而结实的脚踏助力货运自行车会让道路更加拥堵。
30.D　推理判断题。根据第六段中Gale Brewer所说的Down at Pier 92 ...using the bikes from there可知，人们在讨论用船把货物运到92号码头，然后装到这种自行车上运走。由此推断，Gale Brewer谈到了在92号码头使用这种自行车的可能性。
31.C　细节理解题。根据第六段中的Brewer likes the plan ...make traffic rules stricter.和第七段Gale Brewer所说的话可知，Gale Brewer喜欢这个计划，但前提是改善道路并制定更严格的交通规则，即对当前的交通做一些必要的改变。

32.A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的It’s a sad truth that a ZIP code can be more predictive of a person’s health than his or her genetic code.可推断出，一个地区的邮政代码很可能预测一个地区人们的健康。
33.B　推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可推断，作者提到贫穷的城市社区是为了表明穷人更容易受到极端天气的影响。
34.C　细节理解题。根据文中提到的hurricane season、heat waves、flood以及drought可知，文中共涉及4种极端天气。
35.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认为气候变化对于人体健康会立即产生严重危害，因而提供护理的人们现在就应采取相应行动面对现状。这一语气非常紧迫。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伟大的文学作品的四个特性。
36.A　上文指出解释伟大的文学作品的特性绝非易事，下文则介绍了伟大的文学作品的四个特性，因此设空处应表达转折，以引出下文内容，故A项（但是我想试一试，所以看这里）符合语境。
37.E　根据本空后的but可知，设空处内容应与observe something larger形成对比。再根据下文中的the nature of the world as it was in the times of that writer可知，设空处还应与“伟大的文学作品能反映作者所处时代的特征”有关，故E项符合语境。
38.C　根据第二个特点及下文中的Some of our beliefs are expressed and recognized ...But some of them are not.可知，伟大的文学作品能带给人们闻所未闻的观点和想法，对于这些观点和想法，人们有些能产生共鸣，有些则不能，故C项符合语境。
39.B　根据第三个特点中的fine art及下文中的interesting、beautiful、breathless、expertly drawn及great enjoyment可知，伟大的文学作品能带给人们美的享受，故B项符合语境。B项中的aesthetically与下文中的aesthetic为原词复现关系。
40.G　根据第四个特点及本空上句内容可知，伟大的文学作品中的冲突体现在方方面面，因此每次阅读伟大的文学作品，我们都能有新的体验和收获，故G项（它们让读者领会不同的观点，而不仅仅是作家可能突出表现的一个观点）符合语境。G项中的They指代上句中的great works。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。学校老师和同学帮助患有心脏疾病的Lamere筹钱做移植手术。
41.A　根据上下文可知，Lamere的同学们得知他正在等待心脏移植，于是决定开始行动起来，为他发起募捐活动，以防新的心脏很快找到时他没钱进行手术。get to work着手工作；around the corner即将发生的，即将来到的。

52.A　根据下文中的stretching from Lamere’s 　53　 all the way to the fifth-graders’ classroom可知，这些写着捐赠人名字的纸心随处可见。
53.B　下文中的all the way to the fifth-graders’ classroom提示本空选择classroom。

My Favourite Book
　　My favourite book is A Bittersweet Journey Through Culture.
　　It is a wonderful work by Chinese author Yu Qiuyu， who visits various heritage sites worldwide and unlocks the mysteries of cultural and historical legacies.Additionally， he looks back on his personal history， weaving it into life stories of historical figures and great works that have shaped him as a writer.
　　I enjoy reading this book because it not only provides valuable cultural viewpoints but also entertains with its excellent storytelling.I hope you will love it too.
第二节
　　Jack looked at Winston in disbelief.But this time he didn’t laugh.He asked Winston what had happened.After hearing Winston’s words， he comforted Winston， saying that his haircut wasn’t as bad as he thought.Winston was taken aback by this unexpected support， and suddenly， he didn’t feel sad anymore.At that moment， Winston’s mom invited them to taste her freshly baked biscuits.Over the biscuits， Winston felt a sense of shame for his earlier attitude toward his mom.He said sorry to her.His mom smiled and said she understood him.
　　That afternoon， Winston returned to the barbershop， hoping to find out the truth.When he got there， the barber warmly welcomed him and said sorry to him.The barber explained that he had been thinking of some bad news about his family when Winston sat in his chair.Winston was relieved to learn this and forgave him.The barber offered to fix his hair for free.Winston happily agreed.He had learned an important lesson about giving people a chance and not jumping to conclusions.

M：It’s five fifty. Let’s hurry. There’s ten minutes left.
（Text 2）
M：Excuse me， Madam. I’d like to choose some flowers for my
mother’s birthday.
W：Let me see. These fresh roses are very nice.
（Text 3）
M：What is Bill’s new house like？
W：It’s really nice， and not very far from his workplace， but he is
tired of hearing the planes flying overhead all day long.
（Text 4）
W：Say， what’s your favourite sport？
M：Hmm ... It’s hard to say. I like golf and basketball a lot， and
tennis better， but I guess swimming is my favourite.
（Text 5）
M：What do you think of my paper？
W：The ideas are good. If I were you， though， I’d write the last two
paragraphs again to make it a little clearer.
（Text 6）
M：Can you tell me how to get to the TV station by bus？
W：Take bus No.22. Don’t get off until the fifth stop， which is Silver
Road.
M：Silver Road？ Aren’t there many bars？
W：Yes. Many foreigners like to go there. It will take you an hour to get
there if the traffic lights are working properly.
M：I have an interview at 2：30 p.m. I don’t think I should go there by
bus.
W：Why not take the subway？ Go down this road until you reach the
first set of traffic lights. Turn right and you’ll see the station.
M：You are right. Thank you very much.
W：My pleasure.
（Text 7）

between China and Japan on TV.
M：Really？ I thought you were having a party.
W：And Anna Wilkinson who lives upstairs thought I was quarreling with
my father again.
M：Anyway， it’s a pity that I missed the game. What was the result？
W：The Chinese football team won in the end. I was so excited that I
forgot the time.

rooms available in June.
M：Hmm ... Until 31 May would be OK.
W：Alright. Mr John Smith， a single room with a shower from 20 May
to 31 May.
M：That’s right. By the way， I only have US dollars on me. Shall I
change them into renminbi to pay？
W：No， that’s not necessary. We can accept US dollars.
M：Can I use a credit card to pay？ It won’t be very convenient for me

（Text 9）
W：Before beginning our sightseeing tour in China， I’d be glad to
know if you have anything special in mind that you’d like to see.
M：It doesn’t matter to me， wherever we go. You can choose some
scenic spots that you like， honey. I’d like to read the newspaper now.
W：You can make some suggestions， too. I don’t have anything in
mind at present.
M：OK， then. What about the Great Wall — one of the seven wonders
of the world？ We wouldn’t want to leave China without seeing it.
W：Is it far from here？
M：No， I’ve checked that on the Internet. It’s only about 50
kilometers. Just an hour and a half’s trip by car.
W：Good！ And we’ve heard quite a lot about the Summer Palace. I’d
like to see that， too.
M：All right. The Summer Palace. And there are a number of other
interesting places， such as the Temple of Heaven， the Ming Tombs and
so on. Let’s watch some TV now.
W：No， you should start to prepare some food now.
（Text 10）
W：Good morning， Mr Black. You said you would give us an
introduction to Chinese dragons this time. Shall we begin now？
M：OK. We are not quite certain how Chinese dragons first came about.
Some people believed that they ruled over water， such as waterfalls，
rivers and the ocean. In the eyes of Europeans， dragons are considered to
be evil creatures， but in China， Chinese dragons mean power， strength
and good luck. The Chinese dragon is present in many aspects of Chinese
life.
In the Chinese language， people that are considered to be excellent are
compared to dragons， while people associated with failure are compared
to other living things， such as insects.Only emperors were able to use
dragons， and both emperors and dragons are related to the lucky number
nine. The number nine is also linked with dragons in the way that people
describe them as being made up of nine different animals.
The dragon is sometimes used in the West to stand for China. Instead， it
is seen as an example of culture in China. In Hong Kong， the dragon is
used in the design of “Brand Hong Kong”， an image used to promote
Hong Kong as an international brand name.

　　Author and illustrator Jerry Craft， who won a Newbery Medal for
his novel New Kid， had never been to Africa.So he had no clue what to
expect from students when he arrived at Nyaani Primary School in the
Kenyan village of Wamunyu in July.
　　It was quite the introduction for Craft and the rest of the literacy （读
写能力） team assembled （聚集） by his buddy Kwame Alexander，
the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 39 books.“Part of my job is
speaking about books all around the world，” says Alexander， whose
enthusiasm for his mission has taken him to many countries.
　　His group of 22 was a mix of experts who were prepared to cover a
wide range of topics.When Craft challenged a 12-year-old to a read-off of
the Dr Seuss classic Fox in Socks， he was blown away by her
performance.
　　Alexander was impressed with the students in Kenya. “They’re
still kids who want to imagine a better world，” he says.“When you
give them permission to start saying something， it is worth hearing.And I
think that makes them feel valued， and it mkes them feel that they
matter.”
　　It also opens their minds to the idea that they could be authors one day
too.“They taught us how to develop our talents，” says Christine
Kabunde， a 13-year-old in grade 7， who was inspired by the possible
opportunities.Angel Mueni， also in grade 7， says the experience
encouraged her to read more.
　　These interactions and the lasting memories they create are why such
visits are important for children， explains Gabriel Dinda， executive
director of Writers Guild Kenya.“When an international author comes，
it energizes everyone locally，” he says.
　　Many of the folks from this trip are certain to return.“I can see how
people make this a life’s calling and go back every year，” Craft
says.And Alexander and several educators in the group have been drawing
up plans for a global literacy summit （峰会） in Kenya.“When you
have a mission， you don’t have a choice of not doing it，” Alexander
says.“It becomes part of your life.”

　　Pedal-assist cargo bikes （脚踏助力货运自行车） may take the
place of delivery trucks in New York City.The bikes have four wheels and
are wider than the delivery bikes on our roads at present.But some people
are pushing back against the plan to roll them out.
　　New York City people love their deliveries.As many as 80% of
households get at least one delivery per week， according to the
Department of Transportation （DOT）.If the DOT has its way， new
wider pedal-assist cargo bikes will roll across the city， which are easier
on the environment than trucks.
　　“Anything that saves energy in the city would be great，” said
Heidi Hopperfeld， who lives in the Upper West Side.
　　The pedal-assist cargo bikes are 10 feet long and 4 feet wide and are
stronger than present ones that are 3 feet wide and three-wheeled.Some
people worry they could make the roads even more congested.“I think it
will create more problems.There’s already heavy traffic on the
roads，” said Louis Munoz from the Upper West Side.
　　City leaders say two of the bikes can take the place of one traditional
delivery truck， adding that the number of big delivery trucks could be
greatly reduced by having the new cargo bikes start at the rivers to line up
and load up.
　　“Down at Pier 92， which is by the river， there’s a discussion
about bringing the cargo in there on the ships and then using the bikes from
there，” Councilwoman Gale Brewer said.Brewer likes the plan， but
only if they improve the roads and make traffic rules stricter.
　　“First， enlarge the bike lanes （车道）.You have to make sure
that the cargo bike does not unload on the sidewalk.They have to unload in
the street and， three， the rules of the road have to be enforced，”
Brewer said.
　　The DOT will get public input on the plan during an online hearing
scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.Opinions will be taken via DOT email.

29. What do the underlined words “more congested” in Paragraph 4
mean？（　　）
A. Noisier. B. Narrower.
C. More crowded. D. More dangerous.
解析：　词义猜测题。根据第四段中Louis Munoz所说的I think it

Brewer谈到了在92号码头使用这种自行车的可能性。

（　　）
A. Holding a public hearing online.
B. Raising money to buy cargo bikes.

D. Preparing large parking spaces for cargo bikes.
解析：　细节理解题。根据第六段中的Brewer likes the
plan ...make traffic rules stricter.和第七段Gale Brewer所说的话可
知，Gale Brewer喜欢这个计划，但前提是改善道路并制定更严格
的交通规则，即对当前的交通做一些必要的改变。
D
　　Hurricane season is here.Fiona ruined Puerto Rico， and less than
two weeks later， Ian struck the west coast of Florida and its remnants
（残余部分） moved up and hit the Eastern Seaboard.
　　Extreme weather events like Ian and Fiona have become more intense
because of climate change.That reality has implications for those of us in
health care.We have a duty to protect and advance the health of our
patients.
　　We typically think of health as something doctors monitor， offering
treatment such as prescription medications as needed.But in reality， only
about 20% of a person’s health is attributable to the medical care they
receive.Social determinants such as people’s neighbourhood and socio-
economic status are actually responsible for 40% of a person’s health
outcomes. It’s a sad truth that a ZIP code can be more predictive of a
person’s health than his or her genetic code.
　　Consider how extreme weather events such as this summer’s heat
waves affected communities unequally.Poor urban neighbourhoods， with
sparse tree cover but plenty of concrete and asphalt， absorb and retain the
heat of the sun’s rays， while leafy， shaded countrysides just a few
miles away stay much cooler.A University of California-San Diego study
that measured land surface temperatures in over 1，000 counties across the
United States found that neighbourhoods with the lowest average education
and income levels generally recorded higher temperatures.
　　Extreme weather events such as flood can threaten people’s physical
and mental health long after it recedes.Almost 1 in 3 people in the flooded
area were estimated to have suffered from certain post-traumatic stress
disorder.Therefore， physicians in regions at increased risk of natural
disasters may need to be ready to deliver more mental health care.For
example， doctors in drought-stricken areas may need to make water
safety a part of their conversations with patients， because groundwater
sources can become unsafe to drink without sufficient rainfall.
　　Climate change has posed an immediate and dire health threat.Now is
the time for health care providers to take collective action to adapt to this
unfortunate reality.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了气候变化对于人体健康
的威胁。
32. What can we infer from Paragraph 3？（　　）
A. ZIP code largely tells a person’s health outcomes.
B. A person’s genetic code is determined by ZIP code.
C. A person’s genetic code is less important than ZIP code.
D. ZIP code is most responsible for people’s health outcomes.
解析：　推理判断题。根据第三段中的It’s a sad truth that a ZIP
code can be more predictive of a person’s health than his or her
genetic code.可推断出，一个地区的邮政代码很可能预测一个地区
人们的健康。
33. Why did the author mention poor urban neighbourhoods？（　　）
A. To show that people with the lowest education have the lowest income.
B. To show that poor people tend to be more exposed to extreme weather.
C. To show that shaded countrysides stay much cooler than urban areas.
D. To show that poor people live in a less-environment-friendly
community.
解析：　推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可推断，作者提到贫
穷的城市社区是为了表明穷人更容易受到极端天气的影响。
34. How many kinds of extreme weather are mentioned in the passage？
（　　）
A. 2. B. 3.
C. 4. D. 5.
解析：　细节理解题。根据文中提到的hurricane season、heat
waves、flood以及drought可知，文中共涉及4种极端天气。
35. What is the tone of the passage？（　　）
A. Objective. B. Urgent.
C. Optimistic. D. Worried.
解析：　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认为气候
变化对于人体健康会立即产生严重危害，因而提供护理的人们现
在就应采取相应行动面对现状。这一语气非常紧迫。

项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　I believe that Classic Literature — truly Great Literature — is
something worth treasuring， learning about， experiencing， re-
reading， and reflecting on.However， explaining the exact qualities that
make a piece of literature “Great” is never easy.36.（　　）.
　　37.（　　）， but also observe something larger.
　　A great writer has something specific to say， or perhaps， more
typically， a big question to ask about the nature of the world as it was in
the times of that writer.But a great work also observes truths about the
human condition of any age.
　　Great literature is based on ideas that are surprising， unexpected，
unusual， or new.
　　Great literature makes us see or think about things we never
considered before.38.（　　）.Some of our beliefs are expressed and
recognized， making us feel less lonely.But some of them are not.We
have to open our minds to try to understand everything we are reading.
　　Great literature is fine art.
　　39.（　　）.Either the style of a great work is pretty interesting and
beautiful， or the drama leaves us breathless， or the characters or scenes
are so expertly drawn.We get great enjoyment from the high aesthetic
（审美的） experience of reading great literature.
　　Great literature is complex enough to offer us something new every
time we read it.
　　Like all great art， great works are based on conflict and tension —
not just conflicting characters， but also conflicting ideas， images， and
viewpoints.40.（　　）.
A. But I want to have a try here， so here goes
B. Great literature is aesthetically wonderful
C. We may agree or disagree with what we are reading
D. A great work does show the writer’s purposes quite clearly
E. Great works may present and explain something about their own times
F. Most great literature helps us grow our minds and the quality of our
thought
G. They allow readers to see all sides， not just one idea the writer may
be featuring
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伟大的文学作品的四个
特性。
36. A　上文指出解释伟大的文学作品的特性绝非易事，下文则介绍
了伟大的文学作品的四个特性，因此设空处应表达转折，以引出下文
内容，故A项（但是我想试一试，所以看这里）符合语境。
37. E　根据本空后的but可知，设空处内容应与observe something
larger形成对比。再根据下文中的the nature of the world as it was in the
times of that writer可知，设空处还应与“伟大的文学作品能反映作者
所处时代的特征”有关，故E项符合语境。
38. C　根据第二个特点及下文中的Some of our beliefs are expressed
and recognized ...But some of them are not.可知，伟大的文学作品能
带给人们闻所未闻的观点和想法，对于这些观点和想法，人们有些能
产生共鸣，有些则不能，故C项符合语境。
39. B　根据第三个特点中的fine art及下文中的interesting、beautiful、
breathless、expertly drawn及great enjoyment可知，伟大的文学作品能
带给人们美的享受，故B项符合语境。B项中的aesthetically与下文中
的aesthetic为原词复现关系。
40. G　根据第四个特点及本空上句内容可知，伟大的文学作品中的
冲突体现在方方面面，因此每次阅读伟大的文学作品，我们都能有新
的体验和收获，故G项（它们让读者领会不同的观点，而不仅仅是作
家可能突出表现的一个观点）符合语境。G项中的They指代上句中的
great works。

　　“I look like a clown （小丑）！” Winston thought sadly.He
pulled his cap down， thankful for the cover it provided.He wanted to
escape the attention of the people outside the barbershop （理发店）.He
looked around before hurrying away into the darkness to put some distance
between himself and the curious eyes of others.
　　As he moved quickly down the street， Winston wondered why he
hadn’t spoken up to prevent the terrible haircut.He felt sad and
questioned why this had happened to him.Did the barber give him this
messed-up haircut on purpose？Winston didn’t believe it because the
barber looked very friendly.But it seemed so crazy！Could he have
unknowingly offended （冒犯） the barber， and this disastrous hairstyle
was the barber’s way of getting back at him？
　　Winston was also worried that Jack would laugh at him.Jack was his
cousin and liked playing jokes.But maybe he wouldn’t；he was
understanding too.Winston kept thinking about it.Upon entering his new
home， Winston’s mom greeted him from the kitchen.She called out to
him， asking to see his new hairstyle.Winston walked into the kitchen，
his cap still on， and slowly took it off.
　　His mother looked very surprised.She couldn’t help but burst into
laughter.“Oh， dear，” she shouted.“What happened？” Winston
stood silently for a moment before letting out his anger.He blamed his
mom for bringing him to this place， forcing him to attend a new school
where he believed everyone would make fun of him.He also said he hated
this terrible hairstyle， and his hair was beyond fixing.
　　Just as his anger was about to grow， the doorbell rang.Winston’s
mom calmly told him to answer it.As he opened the door， he forgot to
cover his terrible haircut， and there stood his cousin Jack.Since it was
Saturday today， they had planned to go skating together.Winston felt
extremely embarrassed.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

　　Jack looked at Winston in disbelief. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　That afternoon， Winston returned to the barbershop， hoping to
find out the truth. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
参考范文：
　　Jack looked at Winston in disbelief.But this time he didn’t
laugh.He asked Winston what had happened.After hearing Winston’s
words， he comforted Winston， saying that his haircut wasn’t as bad as
he thought.Winston was taken aback by this unexpected support， and
suddenly， he didn’t feel sad anymore.At that moment， Winston’s
mom invited them to taste her freshly baked biscuits.Over the biscuits，
Winston felt a sense of shame for his earlier attitude toward his mom.He
said sorry to her.His mom smiled and said she understood him.
　　That afternoon， Winston returned to the barbershop， hoping to find
out the truth.When he got there， the barber warmly welcomed him and
said sorry to him.The barber explained that he had been thinking of some
bad news about his family when Winston sat in his chair.Winston was
relieved to learn this and forgave him.The barber offered to fix his hair for
free.Winston happily agreed.He had learned an important lesson about
giving people a chance and not jumping to conclusions.
