Ⅰ.阅读理解
After twenty-two years of raising three children, I was introduced to an unfamiliar concept: the empty nest.I missed my children all terribly.My husband and I had sold our home and moved to a neighboring state for a job opportunity.I hadn't yet met neighbors or made new friends.I began to feel lonely.I wasn't quite sure how to move forward.
“Why don't we go for a walk？” my husband suggested.Then we began to use a trail (小路) a short drive from our apartment regularly.
The trail wound along a river lined with towering trees.Ducks swam lazily in the river.Birds nested in the treetops.Canada geese flew overhead.These small bits of nature provided me with a peaceful distraction, but only slightly lifted me out of my unease.Still, I continued to walk the path.
The trail was filled with fellow walkers.Couples, young and old, held hands, chatting as they walked.Generations of families took evening walks together.These were just ordinary people doing the same thing I was doing：spending time with loved ones.I'd return home with a smile on my face，my trip restoring something I seemed to have lost.
But I couldn't seem to get enough, so I returned to the trail again and again to find answers.Until one cloudy morning, when I saw her.An elderly, white-haired woman holding the handles of her walker. She ran by me in the opposite direction like a marathon runner.I turned around to catch another look at this one-woman wonder.She was definitely moving forward.She wasn't letting anything hold her back.
That's when it hit me.My fellow trail users were pushing past whatever challenges they were experiencing.Why, then, was I not doing the same My nest may have been empty, but it didn't have to be joyless.I made a decision.I would fill my empty nest with abundance (丰富).I wouldn't let anything hold me back.I was ready for the bright future that stretched before me.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。作者在孩子们离家后感到孤独，但通过在小路上散步，观察他人的生活态度之后，她找回了内心的力量，决定积极面对空巢期，迎接未来。
1.How did the author feel right after moving
A.Uneasy. B.Unreal.
C.Settled. D.Refreshed.
解析　A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My husband...quite sure how to move forward.”可知，作者和丈夫为了工作搬到了邻近的一个州，她还没见过邻居，也没交到新朋友，感到很孤独，她不太确定该如何继续。由此可推知，作者刚搬家时感到很不安(Uneasy)。
2.What helped the author regain some inner strength
A.Kindness from strangers.
B.Encouragement from her husband.
C.Chatting with fellow walkers.
D.Seeing people enjoying family time.
解析　D　细节理解题。第四段中作者描述了自己在小路上看到不同年龄的夫妇以及家里几代人一起散步，这些普通人与亲人共度时光的场景让作者脸上带着微笑回家，散步似乎恢复了某些她已经失去的东西。这表明看到别人享受家庭时光帮助作者恢复了内在的力量。
3.What can we infer about the white-haired woman
A.She was suffering from a serious illness.
B.She was a good marathon runner.
C.She was unwilling to socialize.
D.She was facing life bravely.
解析　D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“An elderly，white-haired woman holding the handles of her walker.She ran by me in the opposite direction like a marathon runner”可知，一位白发苍苍的老妇人扶着助行器从作者身边跑过。这位老人尽管使用助行器，却仍然努力奔跑，从中可以推断出她积极面对生活。
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.The Power of Nature
B.The Trail of Hope
C.The Path to Success
D.The Joy of Walking
解析　B　标题归纳题。文章围绕作者在新环境中的迷茫以及在一条小路上的经历展开，作者通过在小路上散步，观察到自然的美景和人们的互动，逐渐从孤独和不安中恢复过来，找到了希望和前进的动力，这条小路给作者带来了希望和感悟，所以 B项最适合作标题。B项中的Trail一语双关，既指作者散步时走过的实实在在的小路，又象征着作者寻找希望的心路历程。

How do we measure what makes a good conversation Is it by how many times we laugh Or is it 1 by how we feel afterwards—how deeply the words have 2 us There is one conversation where I can 3 almost word for word in my head.These words have even 4 the course of my life.
In 2016，I walked into a small valley in Jordan.A young boy called Faisal saw me kicking a football with some kids and 5 me.
“I saw you playing football，” he told me.“You were very good.”
“Thanks，” I replied，“but you're being too 6 .I am not good at it.”
“Oh yes，” he said.“Your skills are 7 .But it was good of you to play with the boys.”
He told me about his two jobs—one looking after sheep in the hills，and one looking after tourists.The sheep were easier，he said.Later，as he 8 how the world was，he told me a saying：“Give without remembering; take without 9 .”
Faisal's background was quite different from mine.And yet he held this 10 philosophy，and the more I travel，the more I see that the world is 11 a good place.There is more that connects us than divides us—of that，I'm certain.
The fact that I will again have the 12 to be part of these remarkable conversations—each will be unique，and may even leave a 13 in my life—is still one of the most exciting 14 of travel for me.For that possibility，I'm forever 15 .
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者 2016年在约旦旅行时偶遇了一位放羊少年 Faisal。Faisal赞美了作者的善良，并和作者分享了他的人生哲学“施恩勿记，受恩勿忘”。这次经历也让作者更加坚信世界是美好的。
1. A.surrounded B.replaced
C.accompanied D.defined
解析　D　根据上文中的“How do we measure what makes a good conversation？”可知，作者在思考如何衡量好的对话，因此，此处在讲如何界定(defined)好的对话：是根据我们笑了多少次，还是我们事后的感受如何等。
2. A.affected B.annoyed
C.concerned D.surprised
解析　A　根据下文中的“I can almost word for word in my head.These words have even the course of my life”可知，作者此处想表达的是对话的好坏是由这些话给我们带来多深的影响决定的。
3. A.polish B.replay
C.interpret D.rewrite
解析　B　根据下文内容可知，这是一次能让作者在脑海中几乎逐字逐句反复回想(replay)的对话。polish“修改，润饰，润色”；interpret“诠释，说明”。
4. A.restricted B.dominated
C.changed D.delayed
解析　C　根据下文中的“the more I travel，the more I see that the world is a good place.There is more that connects us than divides us”可知，这次对话让作者对世界有了更坚定的认识。由此可见，这些话甚至改变(changed)了作者的人生轨迹。restrict“限制，限定(数量、范围等)”；dominate“支配，控制”；delay“延迟，延期，推迟”。
5. A.approached B.challenged
C.assisted D.consulted
解析　A　根据下文二人的对话可知，Faisal应是看到作者在和孩子们踢球，想和作者对话，便向作者靠近(approached)。
6. A.humorous B.generous
C.anxious D.curious
解析　B　根据上文中Faisal夸作者的句子“You were very good.”和空后作者自己的说法“I am not good at it.”可知，作者误认为Faisal夸自己球踢得很好，而实际上，作者并不擅长踢足球。据此可以推断，作者认为Faisal很宽厚(generous)。
7. A.terrible B.unique
C.practical D.diverse
解析　A　结合上文作者的话“I am not good at it”和 Faisal 对作者话的肯定“Oh yes”可知，Faisal说：“你的技术很拙劣(terrible)，但是你能和男孩子们一起踢球，这一点很好。”
8. A.complained about B.looked into
C.reflected on D.benefited from
解析　C　上文中Faisal还在谈论自己的工作，而后，他告诉作者一句格言“Give without remembering; take without .”。由此可知，Faisal谈完自己的工作之后开始思考(reflected on)世界。complain about“抱怨”；look into“调查”；reflect on“仔细思考”；benefit from“从……中受益”。
9. A.thinking B.noticing
C.announcing D.forgetting
解析　D　根据分号可知，分号前后形成了对比，take对应 Give，因此，空处应对应remembering，故D项forgetting符合语境。该句话意为“施恩勿记，受恩勿忘”。
10. A.complex B.adjustable
C.flexible D.admirable
解析　D　根据下文中的“these remarkable conversations”可知，作者对Faisal的话评价极高，因此此处表示作者认为Faisal秉持值得赞赏的(admirable)哲学。complex“复杂的，难懂的，费解的”；adjustable“可调整的，可调节的”； flexible“能适应新情况的，灵活的，可变动的”。
11. A.rarely B.probably
C.mostly D.merely
解析　C　上文讲牧羊少年Faisal告诉作者了一句格言，下文讲“There is more that connects us than divides us—of that，I'm certain.”，由此可知，作者觉得世界通常(mostly)是好的。
12. A.patience B.courage
C.right D.chance
解析　D　根据下文中的“For that possibility”可知，作者还希望有机会(chance)能够进行更多这样非凡的对话。
13. A.mark B.pity
C.label D.warning
解析　A　根据第4题的解析可知，这次对话甚至改变了作者的人生轨迹。由此可知，类似的这种对话可能会在作者的生命中留下深刻的印记，leave a mark“留下深刻的印记，留下深远的影响”。
14. A.breakthroughs B.prospects
C.adventures D.memories
解析　B　根据上文中的同位语从句“that I will again have the to be part of these remarkable conversations”可知，作者希望能够再有机会进行非凡的对话，因此，这仍是作者对旅行的最令人激动的展望(prospects)之一。
15. A.qualified B.suitable
C.grateful D.responsible
解析　C　根据上文内容可知，作者和Faisal的对话让作者对世界有了更坚定的认识，因此，如果还有机会进行这样的对话，作者应该会心存感激(grateful)。

1.projects　考查名词的单复数。“one of”后应用可数名词的复数形式。故填projects。
2.on　考查介词。表示具体的某一天应用介词on，根据空后的“the same day”可知，应填on。
3.starring　考查非谓语动词。 分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作定语，修饰a visual poem; star在句中作动词，意为“由……主演，由……担任主角”，为一词多义用法，且与其逻辑主语之间为主谓关系，应用动词-ing形式。故填starring。
4.the　考查冠词。 单词puzzle在句中作名词，表示“难题，难解之事，谜”，此处表示“人类之谜”，表示特指意义。故填the。
5.are　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处在句中作谓语，此处介绍了这部纪录片的导演和执行制片人，属于客观情况，结合第一段描述所用的时态可知，应用一般现在时；句子主语“Director Kyle Ruddick and executive producer Brandon Litman”是两个人，谓语应用复数形式。故填are。
6.and/while　考查连词。空前的“Ruddick studied film”和空后的“Litman majored in business”为并列/对比关系。故填and/while。
7.commercial　考查形容词。 空处在句中作定语，修饰名词projects，表示“商业性的”应用commerce的形容词形式。故填commercial。
8.where　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为“a world music festival”，空处在定语从句中作地点状语。故填where。
9.to create　考查非谓语动词。空处在句中作定语，a way to do sth意为“做某事的方法”，故此处应用不定式作定语。故填to create。
pletely　考查副词。 空后的open为形容词，表示“思想开明的，不固执己见的”，修饰形容词应用副词。故填completely。
