【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】I’m Emile Ratelband, a television host in the city of Arnhem, Holland. Now my age is having a bad effect on both my work and life. So I went to court to get my birth year legally changed from 1949 to 1969 and I self-identified as 20 years younger. The reason why I did so is that I want to avoid age discrimination. When I asked to borrow money from a bank or change my job, I was told it was almost impossible because of my age. I firmly believe that with the freedom of choosing my name, I want to choose my own age. I want to control myself. Besides, the Dutch government could benefit if it were to accept my demand. I would be happy to give up my monthly pension of around $1,370. That would be a savings of $343,000 over 20 years for the government. The city court is expected to give an official decision in about four weeks. And I’m waiting for that, but I’m not quite sure about their approval.

A few weeks ago, I picked up my 14-year-old daughter and her friend from dance class. The two girls chatted happily until I reached her friend’s house. And then 1 began the drive home and my daughter, who had been talking nonstop a minute before, went completely silent. I assumed she was lost in thought.
When I came to a stoplight, I looked in the mirror. My daughter wasn’t looking out of the window or staring into space - she was on her phone. I felt my anger rise.
“Get off your phone. That is rude. You make me feel like an Uber driver.” I shouted.
“But I’m texting friends about biology homework!’’ she said.
“That can wait.” I was mad and she was angry.
Back home, she disappeared into her room, and I thought about how I was still trying to take control of my daughter’s growing independence, which was fruitless.
The next day I was thinking about my outburst when a parenting program on TV caught my eye in which the hosts interviewed Dr. Ken Ginsburg, the author of a famous parenting book. It completely changed my attitude.
Ginsburg said. “Why are our teens pushing us away? It’s not because they hate us - it’s
because they love us so much and yet they know they have to become independent. So this is a process of figuring out how to push away the things they love the most. It is crazy to fly from a comfortable nest, so teens get ready for it by temporarily pushing their parents away.”
I need to honor her independence and create space for both of us to face this monumental developmental challenge as teammates, not adversaries((对手).

Over a four-year period, Swiss researchers have developed a machine that can keep human livers (肝)alive outside of the body for one week.
Livers are among the most commonly transplanted (移植)human organs. Current technology can only keep human livers alive for up to 24 hours. It is reported that, in 2017, about 8.000 liver transplants were performed in the U.S., of which 360 used livers from living givers In addition,
about 11,500 people were registered on a waiting list to receive a liver transplant. Keeping livers alive and functioning for longer periods could greatly improve the chances of survival for patients.
The researchers say the purpose of their “Liver4Life” machine is to perform what they call liver perfusion (灌注)operations outside of the human body. Perfusion is the process by which blood or other liquids are pumped through organs and tissue. The machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and moves it in a way that would be natural in the body. Using a pump to fill the liver with blood acting like a human heart, the machine also provides oxygen to the organ, controls red blood cell levels and removes waste.
The research team began their experiments with livers from pigs. After repeated testing and engineering development, they succeeded in getting the pig livers to survive for seven days with support only provided from the Liver4Life machine. They also discovered the system can work to repair damaged livers. The team is now planning its next step to transplant machine-treated organs into patients.
Pierre-Alain Clavien. leader of the research said in a statement. “This technology will greatly increase the number of livers available for transplant, improving the chances of survival for patients. The success of this unique machine opens the way for many new applications in transplantation and cancer medicine.”
28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Introduce a brand new topic for discussion.
B. Provide some latest data about present liver transplants.
C. Show the urgency of tech improvement in liver transplants.
D. Remind readers concerned of the importance of a healthy liver.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The machine. B. The liver.
C. The temperature. D. The tissue.
30. What can we learn about the Liver4Life machine?
A. It is among the most commonly used machines for liver transplants.
B. It is aimed to carry out liver perfusion operations in the human body.
C. It can perform several functions to keep the liver working normally.
D. It can be used to keep the pig livers alive for more than one week.
31. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A biology textbook. B. A first aid brochure.
C. A social web page. D. A health magazine.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】

【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Current technology can only keep human livers alive for up to 24 hours. It is reported that, in 2017, about 8.000 liver transplants were performed in the U.S., of which 360 used livers from living givers In addition, about 11,500 people were registered on a waiting list to receive a liver transplant. Keeping livers alive and functioning for longer periods could greatly improve the chances of survival for patients.目前的技术只能让人类的肝脏存活24小时。据报道,2017年,美国约有8000例肝移植手术在美国,另外还有360个活体捐赠者的肝脏,约有1.15万人在等待接受肝脏移植。延长肝脏的存活和功能可以大大提高患者的存活几率。推测作者在第二段中,想要展示肝脏移植技术改进的紧迫性。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据the machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and moves it in a way that would be natural in the body. 这台机器将肝脏保持在适当的温度,后文主语为The machine,谓语为move,推测宾语与前文相同,也为liver。所以机器使肝脏保持在合适的温度,并以一种人体自然的方式移动肝脏。因此it指的是“肝脏”。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段The machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and moves it in a way that would be natural in the body. Using a pump to fill the liver with blood acting like a human heart, the machine also provides oxygen to the organ, controls red blood cell levels and removes waste. 这台机器将肝脏保持在适当的温度,并以人体的方式自然移动肝脏。利用泵像心脏一样向肝脏内注入血液,这台机器还向肝脏提供氧气,控制红细胞水平,并清除废物。 及第四段They also discovered the system can work to repair damaged livers. 他们还发现该系统可以修复受损的肝脏。由此判断出,Liver4Life机器可以发挥多种功能,保持肝脏正常工作。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。在四年多的时间里,瑞士研究人员开发出一种机器,可以让人的肝脏在体外存活一周。文章介绍了这个机器的作用,研究过程和意义。推测这篇文章最有可能来自健康杂志。故选D项。

We know them when we see them: The TV shows and movies we love, even though we just know they’re bad. The worthless books we simply can’t put down.
Yes, these are our guilty pleasures — what some people consider the junk food in our media diets. But if we enjoy them, why should we feel guilty? As it turns out, these so-called “guilty” pleasures can actually be good for us, so long as they’re enjoyed in moderation.
According to Robin Nabi, a professor at the University of California, a guilty pleasure is something that we enjoy, but we know we’re either not supposed to like, or that liking it says something negative about us.
Studies suggest that guilty pleasures can bring back some psychological resources. Besides, giving ourselves permission to enjoy downtime is also an important part of self-pity, which is an effective way of fighting anxiety and sadness. Perhaps the most important value of a guilty pleasure is the bond it can create between people.
If that’s true, why do guilty pleasures get such a bad reputation? Actually, it’s not the indulgences themselves, but the attitudes we take when talking about them. “We have the cultural value of media consumption being instructive, and that what we do should be about growing and achieving,” Dr. Nabi said. “We don’t focus as much on refreshment and enjoyment, and these are such important aspects of being a human being.”
Feeling guilty about activities we enjoy can diminish the benefits they offer us. But removing unnecessary embarrassment about our interests can enrich our social lives, which is why it’s time to get rid of “guilty pleasure” from our vocabulary.
While guilty pleasures benefit us in some cases, they can also push us to indulge in behaviors we feel guilty about. Therefore, it’s best to follow the age-old advice our parents taught us: Everything in moderation.
32. Which of the following might make us feel guilty pleasure?
A. Eating an entire bag of chips in one sitting. B. Telling an old bedtime story.
C. Staying up late doing your homework. D. Giving up seats to the elderly.
33. Why do people think poorly of guilty pleasures?
A. They take guilty pleasures too seriously.
B. They dislike the behaviour of indulgence.
C. They ignore the benefits of guilty pleasures.
D. They are influenced by their cultural value.
34. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Reduce. B. Increase. C. Maximize. D. Destroy.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Guilty pleasure? Avoid it B. Guilty pleasure? No Such Thing
C. Everything in Moderation D. New Trend in Media Consumption
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了事实证明,只要适度享受,这些所谓的“有负罪感的”快乐其实对我们是有好处的。文章说明了“有负罪感的快乐”的含义,以及影响人们对有负罪感的快乐的因素。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的According to Robin Nabi, a professor at the University of California, a guilty pleasure is something that we enjoy, but we know we’re either not supposed to like, or that liking it says something negative about us.可知,根据Robin Nabi,一位加州大学的教授的说法,内疚的快乐是我们喜欢的东西,但是我们知道我们不应该喜欢它,或者喜欢它会带来一些负面的东西。结合选项可推知,A选项“一次吃下一整袋薯片”可能会让我们感到有负罪感的快乐。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的If that’s true, why do guilty pleasures get such a bad reputation? Actually, it’s not the indulgences themselves, but the attitudes we take when talking about them. “We have the cultural value of media consumption being instructive, and that what we do should be about growing and achieving,” Dr. Nabi
said.可知,如果这是真的,为什么罪恶的快乐会有这么坏的名声呢?实际上,问题不在于放纵本身,而在于我们对待它的态度。Nabi博士说:“我们有媒体消费的文化价值是指导性的,我们所做的事情应该是为了成长和成就。”由此可知,人们会轻视有负罪感的快乐,是因为受到了文化价值的影响。故选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。结合后文the benefits they offer us可知,人们因为受到文化价值的影响而轻视有负罪感的快乐,所以此处指的是对我们喜欢的活动感到内疚会减少它们给我们带来的好处。由此可知,划线单词“diminish”的意思是“减少”。A. Reduce.减少;B. Increase.增加;C. Maximize.最大化;D. Destroy.破坏。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中As it turns out, these so-called “guilty” pleasures can actually be good for us, so long as they’re enjoyed in moderation.可知,事实证明,只要适度享受,这些所谓的“内疚”快乐其实对我们是有好处的。结合文章还说明了“有负罪感的快乐”的含义,以及影响人们对有负罪感的快乐的因素。由此可知,B选项Guilty pleasure? No Such Thing(有负罪感的快乐?没有这样的事情)适合做本文最佳标题。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever frequently put off things you should do for various reasons? If so, it is procrastination (拖延). Procrastinators often put off doing things and leave them to the very last moment. ___36___Lazy people simply don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, on the other hand, have the desire to do something but can’t force themselves to start.
You might think procrastination is a bit annoying but fairly harmless. However, long term procrastination has bad effects on your health. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven’t done may cause discomfort. ___37___
Don’t place too much pressure on yourself. “This project has to impress everyone; I really can’t blow this opportunity,” ___38___ Overcome this mental block by simply allowing yourself to be imperfect with the next small task. You can always improve your work later.
___39___ Concentrating on the size and difficulty of a task will overcome you and promote procrastination. Any work can be broken into smaller steps. The trick is - with each step along the way — to focus on the next achievable tasks. Make sure you can easily imagine the outcome of your small task. Don’t write a book; write a page.
Focus on starting rather than finishing. For someone who’s having a hard time starting a task, imagining a hard-to-grasp future can be depressing. The solution in this case, then, is to focus on starting. ___40___ We all know that if we start, we’ll eventually finish the task.
A. Break a long project down into short tasks.
B. So procrastination is about managing the time.
C. So we should apply ourselves to overcoming it.
D. However, procrastination is different from laziness.
E. Focus on the negative effects of the procrastination.
F. Bring your focus from the future to what can be done right now.
G. Placing such high hopes on a project only adds anxiety and fear of failure.
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. G 39. A 40. F
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要区别了拖延和懒惰,指出长期的拖延症会对你的健康产生不良影响。以及就如何克服拖延症提出了一些建议。

根据后文Lazy people simply don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, on the other hand, have the desire to do something but can’t force themselves to start.可知懒惰人只是什么都不做,而且很好。另一方面,拖延者有做某事的欲望,但不能强迫自己开始。由此可知,拖延和懒惰是不同的。故D选项“然而,拖延和懒惰是不同的”符合上下文语境,故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文However, long term procrastination has bad effects on your health. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven’t done may cause discomfort.可知然而,长期的拖延症会对你的健康产生不良影响。在你的病比较容易治疗的时候没有去看医生可能会缩短你的寿命。仅仅想到你没有做的事情可能会让你感到不适。由此可知,上文提到了长期的拖延症会影响健康,那么就应该尽力克服拖延症。故C选项“所以我们应该致力于克服它”符合上下文语境,故选C。
【38题详解】
结合上文This project has to impress everyone; I really can’t blow this opportunity,可知“这个项目必须给每个人留下深刻印象;我真的不能错过这个机会。”以及后文Overcome this mental
block by simply allowing yourself to be imperfect with the next small task. You can always improve your work later.可知只要允许自己在下一个小任务上不完美,就可以克服这个心理障碍。你可以在以后改进你的工作。由此可知,过高的期望会增加焦虑和对失败的恐惧,因此作者后文建议要允许自己有不完美的时候。故G选项“对一个项目寄予如此高的期望只会增加焦虑和对失败的恐惧”符合上下文语境,故选G。
【39题详解】
根据后文Concentrating on the size and difficulty of a task will overcome you and promote procrastination. Any work can be broken into smaller steps. The trick is - with each step along the way - to focus on the next achievable tasks.可知专注于任务的大小和难度会打败你,助长延症症。任何工作都可以分解成更小的步骤。诀窍在于——在每一步中——专注于下一个可实现的任务。由此可知,本段是在说明将任务划分成几个小的任务,再在每一步中专注于下一个可实现的任务,这样才有助于克服拖延症。故A选项“把一个长项目分成几个短任务”符合上下文语境,故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文For someone who’s having a hard time starting a task, imagining a hard-to-grasp future can be depressing. The solution in this case, then, is to focus on starting.可知对于一个很难开始一项任务的人来说,想象一个难以把握的未来可能会令人沮丧。那么,在这种情况下,解决方案就是专注于开始。由此可知,本句是在强调不要去想象未来还未发生的事情,而是要专注于当下可以做的事情上。故F选项“把你的注意力从未来转移到现在可以做的事情上来”符合上下文语境,故选F。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For those who have never tried it, scuba diving (水肺潜水) has the reputation for being ___61___ extreme sport, but this couldn’t be ___62___(far) from the truth. Scuba diving, with all the deep breathing ___63___goes with it, is almost like underwater yoga (瑜伽). It offers people a chance to forget about trouble and focus on the here and now, thus ___64___(provide) a sense of calmness that is hard to find on land.
While scuba diving, you won’t be looking at your phone. Nor will you have to make a mental effort ___65___ (get) away from the real world because physically, you already have! The underwater scenery provides the perfect place to calm your mind with ___66___ (peace) surroundings to admire.
Yoga lays stress on the control of breathing in and out, as breathing ___67___ (consider) the fundamental connection ___68___ body and mind. The number one rule of scuba diving is to breathe ___69___ (constant) and never hold your breath. A diver who is relaxed in body, breath, and mind becomes one with the water. It’s the supreme form of ____70____ (relax) when all you can hear is bubbles and the sound of your own breathing.
【答案】61. an 62. further/farther 63. that 64. providing 65. to get 66. peaceful 67. is considered 68. between 69. constantly 70. relaxation
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了水肺潜水运动及水肺潜水运动和瑜伽的相似之处。
【61题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:水肺潜水被称作是一项极限运动,但这再真实不过了。不定冠词a/an修饰可数名词单数,此空后是可数名词单数extreme sport,且extreme发音是以元音音素开头,应该用an。故填an。
【62题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:水肺潜水被称作是一项极限运动,但这再真实不过了。结构couldn’t+比较级意为“再······不过”,形容词far的比较级变形为further/farther。故填further/farther。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。分析句子成分可知,从句“ goes with it”修饰前边的名词“the deep breathing”,因此是定语从句,“the deep breathing”是先行词,指物,代入从句后可知先行词在从句中做作主语,且先行词前有all修饰,只能选择关系代词that。故填that。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,it指代“Scuba diving”,句中谓语动词是offers,因此动词provide在句中做非谓语,动词provide与主语it(Scuba diving)之间是主动关系,应该用现在分词形式providing。故填providing。
【65题详解】
考查固定搭配。固定短语make an effort to do sth.意为“努力做某事”。故填to get。
【66题详解】
考查形容词。形容词修饰名词,此空后是名词surroundings,因此将名词peace变成形容词peaceful。故填peaceful。
【67题详解】
考查被动语态。分析句子成分可知,主语breathing跟谓语动词consider之间是被动关系,应该用被动语态:be+动词过去分词;且本句描述为客观事实,因此时态用一般现在时。故填is considered。
【68题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:瑜伽强调控制呼吸的进出,因为呼吸被认为是身心之间的基本联系。短语between···and···意为“在······和······之间”,根据句意可知,在身心之间。故填between。
【69题详解】
考查副词。分析句子成分可知,此处应为副词修饰动词breathe,故将形容词constant变成副词形式constantly。故填constantly。
【70题详解】
考查名词。介词of后接名词作宾语,故将动词relax变成名词形式relaxation,且relaxation意为“放松”时是不可数名词。故填relaxation。
【点睛】担当定语功能的句子称为定语从句。被定语从句修饰的名词或代词等称为先行词,先行词一般出现在定语从句之前,有时先行词是整个句子。关系词可以指代先行词,在从句中作成分,因此在从句中不能再重复先行词或指先行词的代词。在限制性定语从句中,关系代词that和which都可以指代先行词为物的名词,在从句中都可以作主语、宾语。但有些情况只能用that,如:当先行词被the only,any,every,all,no,few等词修饰时,用关系代词that,不能用which。如本题第三空,先行词the deep breathing指物,在从句中作主语,且被all修饰,故只能选that。

第一节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

We were considering making an English magazine, and without hands-on experience we didn’t know how to start it. To get profession instructions, we left for Beijing to visit a chief editor of Beijing Review, the famous English journal. Busy as he was, he showed me around, explaining us the amazing history of the journal and its production process. Beside, he offered us lots of tip, which were practical and valuable. What make us especially happy was that when he promised to give us continuous guidance. Filling with confidence, we are now beginning to handle
our magazine.
【答案】1. and → but.
2. profession → professional.
3. the → a.
4. me→ us.
5. explaining后加to.
6. Beside → Besides.
7. tip → tips.
8. make → made.
9.去掉when.
10. Filling → Filled.
【解析】
本文是记叙文。讲述了我们想创办一本英文杂志,向北京周刊的一位主编寻求经验的过程。
【详解】1. 考查连词。句意:我们考虑做一本英文杂志,但没有实际经验,我们不知道如何开始。根据句意可知前后句是转折关系,故and 改为but。
2. 考查形容词。修饰名词instructions用形容词,此处指专业的指导,故profession 改为professional。
3. 考查冠词。此处指Beijing Review是一本著名的英语杂志,第一次提到,表示“一个”用不定冠词,famous发音开头是辅音音素,故the改为 a。
4. 考查代词。与上文we left for Beijing一致,可知是主编带领我们四处转转,故me改为 us。
5. 考查介词。“向某人解释某事”是explain to sb. sth.或 explain sth.to sb. 故explaining后加to。
6. 考查副词。beside “在……旁边”,此处表示“此外”是besides,故Beside 改为Besides。
7. 考查名词复数。tip表示“建议”是可数名词,此处由lots of修饰用复数,故tip 改为tips。
8. 考查动词时态。本文讲述过去发生的事,此处与全文时态一致用一般过去时,故make 改为made。
9. 考查表语从句的引导词。句意:让我们特别高兴的是,他答应给我们持续的指导。What make us especially happy是主语从句,was后是表语从句,表语从句句意完整不缺少时间状语,用that引导。故去掉when。
10. 考查非谓语动词。表示“充满”是be filled with,此处作状语省去动词be,故Filling 改为Filled。
