Rachel Carson was concerned about what was happening to the environment.So in her book Silent Spring,she warned that some chemicals were poisoning the air,the water,the earth,and all its creatures.She imagined a time when spring would not bring the rebirth of flowers,trees,and the songs of birds.The book became a bestseller,and Ms.Carson was in great demand as a speaker.People listened to her because what she said made sense,and because she was a scientist who knew her facts.
Rachel Carson was primarily interested in the world of sea and shore,so she became a marine biologist for the government.She studied and recorded facts about the sea’s plant and animal life,their special characteristics,and the nature of their environments.In 1951,she wrote The Sea Around Us,which brought her honors,fame,and respect around the world.
Ms.Carson then devoted herself full-time to research and writing.One thing much on her mind was the effect of modern technology on the natural environment.One day,a distressed friend wrote her to say that a plane spraying(喷洒) DDT had flown over her yard,and the next day several birds lay dead.Carson decided to act.
For four years she studied the use of pesticides(杀虫剂) in the United States and then she wrote Silent Spring.In her book Ms.Carson said that these pesticides would harm much more than insects.She explained that these poisons would pollute the environment.“Even if their effects are not immediately observable,they remain for years in the water and the soil,and they become part of the food eaten by animals and humans.Besides,after a time,insects develop immunity to pesticides,” she said.
Recent studies have shown that pesticides can affect human brainwave activity and cause loss of memory and inability to concentrate.We should still remember Rachel Carson’s words,“I think we are challenged as we have never been challenged before to prove our mastery,not of nature,but of ourselves.”
24.Silent Spring is a book that 　　　　.
A.aims to raise people’s environmental awareness
B.stresses the importance of the cycle of nature
C.describes the author’s childhood experiences
D.asks people to enjoy the beauty of spring
25.The underlined word “distressed” in Paragraph 3 probably means “　　　　”.
A.curious B.humorous
C.excited D.worried
26.According to the text,Rachel Carson 　　　　.
A.became world-famous due to Silent Spring
B.warned against the use of chemicals to kill insects
C.had a good knowledge of the planets in the universe
D.created a system for improving human brainwave activity
27.What Rachel Carson said in the last paragraph suggests that 　　　　.
A.we should prove ourselves to be the ruler of this world
B.it’s a chance for us to prove our mastery of nature
C.it’s time for us to think about what we have done
D.settling on the earth is a challenge for humans
C
From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people,the rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat(威胁) to many jobs normally performed by people.But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations(职业) existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence(AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a change in how we work,and a change will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew,director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence,social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts,business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific,Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states,“Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much,according to the research.“The growth of companies that have the speed and technological knowledge will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A report by Pew Research Center found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years.“The optimists pictured a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith,the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs,but more jobs seem likely to be created.Although there have always been people out of work,when we reach a few billion people there will be billions of jobs.There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
28.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.The result of job reduction.
B.The fast development of AI.
C.The future life of elderly people.
D.The influence of technology on jobs.
29.What will people most probably do in the future
A.Take the place of AI.
B.Work in a traditional way.
C.Take up jobs requiring creativity.
D.Enjoy life without working anymore.
30.What can be known from Grudin’s words in the last paragraph
A.More people will not have a job.
B.More jobs tend to appear in the future.
C.Job competition is likely to grow sharper.
D.Technology will have less control over jobs.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.Are People Losing Their Jobs
B.The Requirements for Future Jobs
C.The Challenging Life in the Future
D.Does Technology Simplify Everything
D
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic(经济的) reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.
32.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph
A.Some of them are not attractive.
B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author
A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
34.The underlined part “move things forward” in the last paragraph probably means “　　　　”.
A.destroy old buildings
B.put things in a different place
C.respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
D.choose new architectural styles
35.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To explain why people dislike change.
B.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

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。
Minimalism(极简主义) is characterized by extreme simplicity.The essence of it is learning to live with fewer material possessions while still being content and at peace with oneself.Its advantages have been recognized by a wide range of people.　36　 Here are a few steps you may take to get going.
Set your minimalist goals.　37　 What are your goals What exactly are you seeking—a cleaner home,mental clarity,or something else Writing down your ideas and emotions will help you come up with a set of motivations.Even better,make a vision board to describe the result you seek.If you get off track,they can help you get back on track.
　38　 It is a crucial step to tidy up your area.Take away anything that is broken,useless,or no longer makes you happy.Get rid of the most obvious clutter(杂乱的东西).Next,make certain that everything you possess has a home for.As a result,everything seems neater and you can further reduce your belongings.
Work,room by room.Breaking down the decluttering(清理) process into small steps is a smart idea.　39　 This may be the messiest or the room you spend the most time in the house.Go through everything you have in this area slowly,which will serve as a source of inspiration for the rest of your home once you’ve finished the first room.
Final reflections.Keep in mind,simplicity requires patience and effort.Minimalism had to be born,not out of a short-lived idea or longing for a new lifestyle,but from a sincere desire and strong need to rethink our lives.　40　
A.Remove your belongings.
B.Clean up your own space.
C.Decide why you choose to go on minimalism.
D.Choose the space that gives you the greatest trouble.
E.However,it can be difficult to start living a simple life.
F.Anyway,we must develop our own brand of minimalism.
G.The basic goal is to live a life that is peaceful and stress free.

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。
It’s a beautiful sunny day.The Bonds boarded their boat for a carefree day trip to Dove Island for some fishing as a family custom.Thomas Bond,a 30-year-old construction worker,loved the sport,especially catching bass (鲈鱼) and had impressed on his oldest daughter,Lizzy,a lover of the outdoors,teaching her how to bait (下诱饵) a hook and cast a line and brave the waves.
The family spent the day fishing in the vast ocean,and then left the island in the early evening.Upon setting off from the shore,they found thick fog rolling in.Lizzy fell into a light sleep beside her five-year-old sister,Molly,at a table on the boat’s lower deck (甲板).Their father’s sharp orders woke her up:“Get out of the boat.The boat’s sinking!” Lizzy pushed her sister into the cold,dark water.Both girls wore life jackets.The adults did not.The girls were followed by their mother,Petra Bond,who was expecting a baby at that time.Within seconds,the boat was damaged and was left just the tip of its bow in the air.
Looking into the faces of her father,mother,and sister,Lizzy wasn’t frightened.After some time,her father told them he would swim for help.“I’ll be back,” he said before disappearing into the darkness.
“Dad is like the superhero to me.I believe he will get help to rescue us,” Lizzy said to herself.After some time,her mother became quiet and stopped swimming.Lizzy wrapped a rope around her mother’s chest and tied her to the boat so she wouldn’t float away.Then her sister fell quiet too and she stayed beside her.
To keep herself awake,Lizzy daydreamed about what they would do after they were rescued.They would stay in a hotel,order room service,and lie comfortably under the blankets in bed,cozy and warm.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
After several hours,Lizzy heard her name called in the distance.

Boasting low cost and quick delivery,China has built the world’s longest high-speed rail (HSR) network.Branded as a “name card” for China,HSR runs at speeds of 250 km-350 km per hour.The high-speed rail in China has greatly reduced travel time and has transformed Chinese society and economy.(17) HSR service started in China in 2008.The Beijing-Tianjin intercity bullet train starting in August 2008 is the first high-speed rail line in the country.Nationally,since then,seven billion trips have been made on China’s expanding high-speed rail network.The country has also witnessed an average annual growth of over 30% in passenger trips for the past 10 years.(18) In mid-2018,HSR almost reached 27,000 km in total length,accounting for about two-thirds of the world’s high-speed rail tracks in commercial service.(19) Currently,China is working on next-generation bullet trains at a speed of 400 km per hour.China’s HSR has also gone global.(20) In 2014,China completed the construction of its first overseas high-speed rail in Turkiye.In June 2015,China and Russia inked deals for 770 km of track connecting Moscow and Kazan.In October 2015,China and Indonesia signed an agreement on the construction of a high-speed rail between Jakarta and Bandung.Besides,the China-Thailand railway is currently under construction.

Rachel Carson was concerned about what was happening to the environment.So in her book Silent Spring,she warned that some chemicals were poisoning the air,the water,the earth,and all its creatures.She imagined a time when spring would not bring the rebirth of flowers,trees,and the songs of birds.The book became a bestseller,and Ms.Carson was in great demand as a speaker.People listened to her because what she said made sense,and because she was a scientist who knew her facts.
Rachel Carson was primarily interested in the world of sea and shore,so she became a marine biologist for the government.She studied and recorded facts about the sea’s plant and animal life,their special characteristics,and the nature of their environments.In 1951,she wrote The Sea Around Us,which brought her honors,fame,and respect around the world.
Ms.Carson then devoted herself full-time to research and writing.One thing much on her mind was the effect of modern technology on the natural environment.One day,a distressed friend wrote her to say that a plane spraying(喷洒) DDT had flown over her yard,and the next day several birds lay dead.Carson decided to act.
For four years she studied the use of pesticides(杀虫剂) in the United States and then she wrote Silent Spring.In her book Ms.Carson said that these pesticides would harm much more than insects.She explained that these poisons would pollute the environment.“Even if their effects are not immediately observable,they remain for years in the water and the soil,and they become part of the food eaten by animals and humans.Besides,after a time,insects develop immunity to pesticides,” she said.
Recent studies have shown that pesticides can affect human brainwave activity and cause loss of memory and inability to concentrate.We should still remember Rachel Carson’s words,“I think we are challenged as we have never been challenged before to prove our mastery,not of nature,but of ourselves.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了瑞秋·卡森很关心环境的变化,一直致力于保护环境,她还写了一本书——《寂静的春天》来提高人们的环保意识。

From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people,the rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat(威胁) to many jobs normally performed by people.But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations(职业) existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence(AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a change in how we work,and a change will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew,director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence,social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts,business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific,Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states,“Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much,according to the research.“The growth of companies that have the speed and technological knowledge will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A report by Pew Research Center found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years.“The optimists pictured a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith,the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs,but more jobs seem likely to be created.Although there have always been people out of work,when we reach a few billion people there will be billions of jobs.There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能的发展对人们未来职业的影响。
28.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.The result of job reduction.
B.The fast development of AI.
C.The future life of elderly people.
D.The influence of technology on jobs.
答案　D　[段落大意题。根据第一段内容,特别是第一句“From self-driving cars to carebots...to many jobs normally performed by people.”可知,科技的快速发展对由人完成的工作构成威胁,由此可知,第一段主要介绍的是科技对职业的影响。]
29.What will people most probably do in the future
A.Take the place of AI.
B.Work in a traditional way.
C.Take up jobs requiring creativity.
D.Enjoy life without working anymore.
答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,未来越来越多的职业需要人们有创造力、社交能力和使用人工智能的能力。由此可知,未来人们可能将从事需要创造力的工作。]
30.What can be known from Grudin’s words in the last paragraph
A.More people will not have a job.
B.More jobs tend to appear in the future.
C.Job competition is likely to grow sharper.
D.Technology will have less control over jobs.
答案　B　[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容,尤其是第一句“‘Technology will continue to affect jobs,but more jobs seem likely to be created.’”可知,在未来社会,更多的职业可能会被创造出来。]
31.What is the best title for the text
A.Are People Losing Their Jobs
B.The Requirements for Future Jobs
C.The Challenging Life in the Future
D.Does Technology Simplify Everything
答案　A　[标题归纳题。通读全文,特别是根据第三段中的“‘Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.’”可知,文章主要介绍了人工智能的发展会对人们未来的职业产生影响,但这并不意味着人们会失去工作,将来会有更多的职业出现。]
D
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic(经济的) reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章对于现在人们经常讨论的问题——现代的建筑是否应该和古老的历史建筑建在一起——进行阐述,在作者看来历史建筑应该保存,但是我们的建筑风格也应该改变,不能因为历史建筑阻碍时代的发展。
32.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph
A.Some of them are not attractive.
B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
答案　A　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Not all historical buildings are attractive.”可知,一些历史建筑不够有吸引力。]
33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author
A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
答案　C　[正误判断题。根据第三段中的“It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.”可知,作者认为一些古建筑破坏了它们所在的地方。]
34.The underlined part “move things forward” in the last paragraph probably means “　　　　”.
A.destroy old buildings
B.put things in a different place
C.respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
D.choose new architectural styles
答案　D　[词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“Thus,I would...and choose something fresh and different”可知,作者认为应该选择新的、不同的建筑风格,由此可知,“move things forward”意思是“选择新的建筑风格”。]
35.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To explain why people dislike change.
B.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
答案　B　[写作意图题。根据文章第一段中“Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city ”可知,这篇文章意在论证现代建筑可以建在历史区域。]
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。
Minimalism(极简主义) is characterized by extreme simplicity.The essence of it is learning to live with fewer material possessions while still being content and at peace with oneself.Its advantages have been recognized by a wide range of people.　36　 Here are a few steps you may take to get going.
Set your minimalist goals.　37　 What are your goals What exactly are you seeking—a cleaner home,mental clarity,or something else Writing down your ideas and emotions will help you come up with a set of motivations.Even better,make a vision board to describe the result you seek.If you get off track,they can help you get back on track.
　38　 It is a crucial step to tidy up your area.Take away anything that is broken,useless,or no longer makes you happy.Get rid of the most obvious clutter(杂乱的东西).Next,make certain that everything you possess has a home for.As a result,everything seems neater and you can further reduce your belongings.
Work,room by room.Breaking down the decluttering(清理) process into small steps is a smart idea.　39　 This may be the messiest or the room you spend the most time in the house.Go through everything you have in this area slowly,which will serve as a source of inspiration for the rest of your home once you’ve finished the first room.
Final reflections.Keep in mind,simplicity requires patience and effort.Minimalism had to be born,not out of a short-lived idea or longing for a new lifestyle,but from a sincere desire and strong need to rethink our lives.　40　
A.Remove your belongings.
B.Clean up your own space.
C.Decide why you choose to go on minimalism.
D.Choose the space that gives you the greatest trouble.
E.However,it can be difficult to start living a simple life.
F.Anyway,we must develop our own brand of minimalism.
G.The basic goal is to live a life that is peaceful and stress free.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是极简主义以及践行极简主义的步骤。
36.E　[上文提到极简主义的好处已被广泛承认,后文则是给出建议,故可推测本句与上文构成转折,指出存在的困难。故E选项“然而,开始过简单的生活可能很难”符合语境。]
37.C　[后文两个问题问到你的目标和追求,即选择极简主义的原因,故C选项“确定你为什么选择极简主义”引出下文,符合语境。]
38.B　[本空位于段首,应为概括本段主旨的祈使句。结合后文“It is a crucial step to tidy up your area.”可知,本句是关于“清理你的领域的关键步骤”,且后文提到了整理无用或破碎的东西,故B选项“清理自己的空间”符合语境。]
39.D　[本段上文提到把整理房间分解成小步骤。后文则提到它可能是最乱的或者是你待得最久的房间,可知本句是在说明整理的第一步是清理某个地方。故D选项“选择给你带来最大麻烦的空间”符合语境。]
40.G　[本段上文是在阐释极简主义的意义,本句为本段最后一句,应对极简主义进行一个基本总结,故G选项“基本目标是过一种平静的、没有压力的生活”符合语境。]

【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。大的并不总是好的。诺贝尔奖也一改以往青睐大型科技成果的传统,将最大的奖项颁给了规模最小的科学新发现。
56.accessible　[考查词性转换。由空前的be以及空后的介词to可知,该空应填形容词accessible,短语be accessible to意为“易被……接近/使用”。]
57.where　[考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“　　　　 making things small may mean big results”为限制性定语从句,先行词为areas,从句缺少地点状语,故应用关系副词where。]
58.to　[考查介词。present sth to sb/sth为固定搭配,意为“把……授予……”,故填to。]
59.was awarded　[考查时态语态和主谓一致。空格所在句为简单句,所填词作句子的谓语。此处描述的动作发生在过去,主语The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine为单数且与动词award之间为动宾关系,故应用一般过去时的被动语态,所以空格处填was awarded。]
60.a　[考查冠词。　　　　 “self-eating” process seen in cells作autophagy的同位语。process在此为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且self-eating的发音以辅音音素开头,故应用不定冠词a。]
61.recognition　[考查词性转换。由空前的介词in和空后的介词of可知,此处应填名词形式recognition。in recognition of...为固定搭配,意为“为表彰……”。]
62.taking　[考查非谓语动词。结合空前的并列连词and以及前文的their working可知,此处应填动名词形式taking,taking与working并列。]
63.that　[考查代词。此处应用代词that特指与前面提到的事物同类的另一事物,that等同于the field。]
64.importantly　[考查词性转换。more importantly为固定用法,表示“更重要的是”。]
65.before　[考查状语从句。该空所在句是“It will only be+时间段+before...”句型,该句型意为“过……时间……就会……”,其中before引导时间状语从句,故填before。]

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。
It’s a beautiful sunny day.The Bonds boarded their boat for a carefree day trip to Dove Island for some fishing as a family custom.Thomas Bond,a 30-year-old construction worker,loved the sport,especially catching bass (鲈鱼) and had impressed on his oldest daughter,Lizzy,a lover of the outdoors,teaching her how to bait (下诱饵) a hook and cast a line and brave the waves.
The family spent the day fishing in the vast ocean,and then left the island in the early evening.Upon setting off from the shore,they found thick fog rolling in.Lizzy fell into a light sleep beside her five-year-old sister,Molly,at a table on the boat’s lower deck (甲板).Their father’s sharp orders woke her up:“Get out of the boat.The boat’s sinking!” Lizzy pushed her sister into the cold,dark water.Both girls wore life jackets.The adults did not.The girls were followed by their mother,Petra Bond,who was expecting a baby at that time.Within seconds,the boat was damaged and was left just the tip of its bow in the air.
Looking into the faces of her father,mother,and sister,Lizzy wasn’t frightened.After some time,her father told them he would swim for help.“I’ll be back,” he said before disappearing into the darkness.
“Dad is like the superhero to me.I believe he will get help to rescue us,” Lizzy said to herself.After some time,her mother became quiet and stopped swimming.Lizzy wrapped a rope around her mother’s chest and tied her to the boat so she wouldn’t float away.Then her sister fell quiet too and she stayed beside her.
To keep herself awake,Lizzy daydreamed about what they would do after they were rescued.They would stay in a hotel,order room service,and lie comfortably under the blankets in bed,cozy and warm.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
After several hours,Lizzy heard her name called in the distance.
