第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)‎ 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。‎ A Places to avoid travelling India The main distinction in wealth and class may explain some of the risk of crimes in this country.But according to John Gobbels,vice president and chief operating officer for Medjet (an international emergency service),it’s medical safety that actually makes India so dangerous.He explains that the U.S.State Department gives the country Level 2 travel advisory status.[Level 1 means you should exercise normal precautions(预防措施);Level 4 is “ do not go”.]‎ Hawaii Considering this destination is a very hot spot for honeymooners,it might be surprising to see the Big Island of Hawaii as a dangerous place to visit.The eruption of a volcano has put Kilauea in a state of emergency,with poisonous gas,lava flows,and earthquakes all a risk.You’ll likely see special airline deals cancelled,so think twice before making this flight.‎ Acapulco This beach resort town on Mexico’s Pacific coast isn’t exactly the white-sand party destination it once was.With a Level 4 travel advisory,Gobbels explains,it’s in the same category as places like Iran,Syria,and North Korea.It’s regarded as the murder capital of the country.‎ Cairo,Egypt According to a recent report from the Thomson Reuters Foundation,Cairo is considered the most insecure city for women in the world.Even though the political tensions are easing in this area,according to Gobbels,sexual violence and cultural expectations make it extremely problematic,for both locals and visitors.‎ ‎【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了四个应当避免去旅游的地方,包括印度、夏威夷、阿卡普尔科以及开罗。‎ ‎21.According to John Gobbels,what should visitors pay special attention to in India?‎ A.Personal belongings.‎ B.Travel insurance.‎ C.Cultural difference.‎ D.Medical safety.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据India部分中的“But according to John Gobbels,vice president and chief operating officer for Medjet (an international emergency service),it’s medical safety that actually makes India so dangerous.”可知John Gobbels认为在印度,游客应该尤其注意医疗安全。故选D项。‎ ‎22.Which place mentioned above is especially dangerous for a woman tourist?‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.India. B.Cairo. C.Acapulco. D.Hawaii.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知开罗对女游客来说特别危险。故选B项。‎ ‎23.What can be inferred from the text?‎ A.Syria isn’t a risky destination where you’ll have a wonderful vacation.‎ B.The political unrest in Cairo is responsible for its insecurity at present.‎ C.A Level 3 travel advisory indicates you can go with normal precautions.‎ D.The flights to Hawaii may be changeable due to the eruption of the volcano.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The eruption of a volcano has put Kilauea in a state of emergency,with poisonous gas,lava flows,and earthquakes all a risk.You’ll likely see special airline deals cancelled,so think twice before making this flight.”可知去夏威夷的航班可能会因为火山爆发而改变。故选D项。‎ B In 1963,at age 65,my grandfather decided to build a new house.He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the old house.It seemed a waste to tear it down,but something had to give,since it sat where the new house would be.He hired a bulldozer to push the old house far out into the nearby woods.That old house sits there to this very day.‎ My grandparents passed away,then my father died of a massive heart attack,at age 68 and I purchased the farm from their estate.When we first moved in,my wife took one look at the deserted ‎ house and declared it a danger.I agreed and planned on a bonfire.But I decided to check out the old house first,just in case something of value had been left behind.‎ Time had taken its toll.The front porch had collapsed in on itself,most of the windows were gone,and the siding was falling off.I entered through an open window and felt as though I had stepped into a time capsule.Here lay many things my grandparents once used—a broken chair,some old clothes,a thermometer,canceled checks.Greeting cards from old friends and relatives,now all dead and gone.An uncle’s third-grade spelling book.... I even found one letter dated September 1944.It was from my father,who then served aboard during World War II.He asked his mother to greet everyone and said that he missed them all.It wasn’t hard to read between the lines.Here was a homesick young man,a kid really.‎ As I left the old house that day,I took one last glance back at it over my shoulder.I don’t care what anyone thinks,I decided.That old house gets to stay there until it rots into the earth.‎ ‎【语篇解读】多年以前作者的祖父决定建一所新房子,于是把旧房子推到了小树林中。后来,作者一家搬进了祖父的家,妻子建议处理掉那座废弃的旧房子。作者同意了,但是想先进去检查一下。这次“时光之旅”改变了作者的想法。‎ ‎24.The author’s grandfather had the old house pushed into the woods in order to 　　　. ‎ A.save some money B.educate his children C.make room for a new house D.keep a shelter for his family 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据第一段中“It seemed a waste to tear it down,but something had to give,since it sat where the new house would be.”可知作者的祖父要在旧房子的原址建新房子,又觉得把旧房子拆掉有点浪费,因此把它推到了附近的树林中,故选C项。‎ ‎25.The author and his wife wanted to burn the old house because 　　　. ‎ A.it was ugly B.it was worn-out C.it was frightening D.it was out of date 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“my wife took one look at the deserted house and declared it a danger”以及第三段中对于旧房子的描写可知作者和妻子觉得那座房子太破旧了,甚至有危险,所以想把它烧掉,故选B项。‎ ‎26.Which is the right order of the following events?‎ a.The author’s father served aboard during World War II.‎ b.The author’s father passed away.‎ c.The author moved into his grandfather’s house.‎ d.The author decided to keep the old house.‎ e.The author’s grandfather built a new house.‎ A.eabdc B.eabcd C.aebcd D.cdabe 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据文中的时间线可知:1944年作者的父亲在海上服役;1963年作者的祖父修建新房子;然后祖父母、父亲相继去世,作者搬进祖父的房子并决定永久保存旁边的旧房子,故选C项。‎ ‎27.What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A.Saving Grandpa’s Home B.Visiting Grandpa’s Home C.A Time Travel D.A Precious Letter 答案A 解析主旨大意题。本文主要讲述作者原本想要拆毁被祖父废弃的一座旧房子,然而在最后一次检查时,作者发现旧房子里留存着一家人生活的痕迹,因此决定保留这座房子,故选A项。‎ C Cameron is no ordinary dog,and not just because he was born on Valentine’s Day.To Maggie,a first grader at Burgundy Farm Country Day School,the dog who spends most days on campus is more like a friend.When Cameron is near,Maggie feels “really,really,happy.”“I feel safe around him,”she added.“He’ll lie down and ask me to scratch his tummy,”she explained,because Cameron likes Maggie.‎ Cameron is one of a handful of dogs at Burgundy,a K-8 private day school in Alexandria,Virginia.Dogs started showing up there when the head of school,Jeff Sindler,brought his clumsy Labrador,Luke,to the main office building where Sindler works.After Luke died,Sindler adopted Cameron and brought him to campus,too,where the dog Maggie described as really cute“became a school favourite.”‎ ‎“They don’t care if you are good at basketball or a great reader,or popular,” Sindler said.“They just want to be loved — equal opportunity,”he added.“Cameron and the other dogs on campus—are always fastened with a rope and with their owner—go a long way toward improving students’ social and emotional well-being,”he said.They reduce tension and ease anxiety,and inspire happy feelings from students.‎ ‎“They bring out some important emotions,” he said,“and are especially helpful to children and adults who struggle in social communication.”Children often came from challenging backgrounds: many lived in poverty,or had to travel through dangerous neighborhoods to get to school,or shared a too-crowded home.When these emotionally needy children met the dogs,they relaxed and were more prepared to learn.‎ Just as important,dogs on school grounds set a positive,welcoming tone.They help preserve the school climate that is accepting,supportive and curious.“Dogs are one way to hold on to that,”Sindler said,adding that“schools should be fun and exciting,and dogs can be a big part of that.”‎ For Sindler,including Cameron was all part of an effort to create a safe environment where learning could flourish.‎ ‎【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。Cameron 是一只居住在校园内的狗,很受学生们的欢迎。这些可爱的狗们能够有助于学生缓解焦虑,激发学生的快乐情绪并有助于学生的健康成长。‎ ‎28.What makes the dog Cameron really special?‎ A.His rare species.‎ B.His particular birthmark.‎ C.His attractive appearance.‎ D.His friendly nature.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。由第一段中的“ the dog who spends most days on campus is more like a friend.”以及“He’ll lie down and ask me to scratch his tummy”可知,这只狗在学校里待的时间最多,他更 像是一个朋友。所以通过关键词“like a friend”“lie down”“scratch his tummy”可推断出Cameron 具有友善的天性。故D项正确。‎ ‎29.How do dogs on campus improve students’ social and emotional well-being?‎ A.By playing fetch together fondly.‎ B.By offering them comfort equally.‎ C.By playing basketball together freely.‎ D.By walking a long way together happily.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。由第三段“They don’t care if you are good at basketball or a great reader,or popular”及“They just want to be loved — equal opportunity,”可知,狗狗们并不在乎你是否是篮球高手,是否喜欢阅读,也不在乎你是否受大家欢迎。他们要求平等地得到学生的爱,也同时均等地给予学生安慰。所以校园里的狗,通过给学生同样的安慰来提高学生的社交和情感方面的健康。故B项正确。‎ ‎30.What does the underlined word“that” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A.A positive tone. B.The school ground.‎ C.A welcoming attitude. D.The school atmosphere.‎ 答案D 解析词义猜测题。由第五段“dogs on school grounds set a positive,welcoming tone.They help preserve the school climate that is accepting,supportive and curious”可知,生活在校园的狗营造出一种积极的、欢迎的氛围。他们有助于保持这种包容的、鼓励的、好求知的学校氛围。故判断出,第五段中画线的单词“that”指的是 the school climate“学校氛围”。故D项正确。‎ ‎31.What’s the purpose of the passage?‎ A.To encourage schools to bring in more dogs.‎ B.To explain why dogs help students with learning.‎ C.To introduce a way to help students grow healthily.‎ D.To explore the possibility to challenge no-dog rules.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,Cameron 是一只居住在校园内的狗,并受到了学生们的欢迎。这些可爱的狗们能够帮助学生缓解焦虑,激发学生的快乐情绪并有助于学生的健康成长。所以这篇文章的目的是介绍一种帮助学生健康成长的方法。故C项正确。‎ D With a focus now on the environmental influence over the fashion industry,some bloggers who cut their teeth sharing details of endless clothes and products are changing their direction—enter the “no-buy” movement.The idea is simple: instead of buying new clothes or beauty products,you make a promise to use the things you already own.Some people sign up to a “no-buy year”.Others decide not to buy for a few weeks or months or choose “low-buy” with a strict spending cap.‎ This life style has caught the attention of many people who struggle to keep up with the latest fashion.Modern people’s desire for material things is often not caused by poverty (贫穷),but by anxiety,which is further enlarged by the rise of social media.‎ ‎“Social media puts pressure on people to spend money,” says Katherine Ormerod,author of Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life.Many online influencers are given the items they use and wear for free,but Ormerod is determined not to wear any new products she is given.“Really I just want to convince people they don’t have to spend a lot of money on fashion to look stylish and ‎ there’s no such thing as ‘last season’ anymore,” she says.“True style has never been about that anyway.”‎ However,self-satisfied expressions of minimalist (极简主义的)living have earned plenty of doubts.“Minimalism is a good quality only when it’s a choice,and it’s telling that its fan base is from the well-off middle class.To people who don’t have enough in the first place,celebrations of ‘less is more’ can sound more like a luxury (奢侈)than a considerable loss,” Stephanie Land wrote in The New York Times.‎ ‎【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种新的生活方式——“不买”运动,其内涵是你承诺使用你已经拥有的东西,而不是买新衣服或美容产品。文章接着说明了Katherine Ormerod认为社交媒体影响了购买决定,以及Stephanie Land的观点极简主义只适合富人。‎ ‎32.What does the underlined word “cap” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A.Soft hat. B.Loose budget.‎ C.Upper limit. D.Money box.‎ 答案C 解析词义猜测题。结合上文“Others decide not to buy for a few weeks or months or choose ‘low-buy’with a strict spending cap.”可知受到“不买”运动想法的影响,有些人签了一个“不买年”。其他人决定几周或几个月不买,或者选择“低买”,严格限制消费的上限。故可知画线单词意思为“上限”,故选C项。‎ ‎33.Which of the following does Katherine Ormerod agree with?‎ A.Overspending results in anxiety.‎ B.High price goes with good quality.‎ C.True style is getting the latest product.‎ D.Social media affects buying decisions.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知Katherine Ormerod可能会同意社交媒体影响购买决定的观点。故选D项。‎ ‎34.What does Stephanie Land think of minimalism?‎ A.It’s suitable for the rich.‎ B.It’s a wise choice.‎ C.It’s out of date.‎ D.It’s an impractical idea.‎ 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Minimalism is a good quality only when it’s a choice,and it’s telling that its fan base is from the well-off middle class.To people who don’t have enough in the first place,celebrations of ‘less is more’ can sound more like a luxury than a considerable loss,” Stephanie Land wrote in The New York Times.(“极简主义是一种好品质,只有当它是一种选择时,它告诉我们,它的粉丝来自富裕的中产阶级。”对于那些一开始就没有足够钱的人来说,“少即是多”的庆祝听起来更像是一种奢侈,而不是巨大的损失。Stephanie Land在《纽约时报》上写道。)可知Stephanie Land认为极简主义适合富人。故选A项。‎ ‎35.What is the text mainly about?‎ A.Buying habit. B.Social media.‎ C.Fashion industry. D.No-buy movement.‎ 答案D 解析主旨大意题。根据第一段中“With a focus now on the environmental influence over the fashion industry,some bloggers who cut their teeth sharing details of endless clothes and products are changing their direction-enter the ‘no-buy’ movement.”以及文章主要内容围绕着这种生活方式产生的原因展开,故D项最能体现文章主旨。故选D项。‎ 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。‎ If your family is thinking of getting a pet,consider adopting from an animal shelter,where all animals are in need of loving homes.　36　Here are some tips for you to find great animals. ‎ Make some decisions.‎ Think about what you want in a pet and remember that all pets have different personalities.Cats tend to be more independent,but kittens need lots of attention.　37　 However,they are usually great companions and love to spend time with their family. ‎ Visit the shelter.‎ ‎　38　 Remember that you may need to visit more than one shelter,or you may need to make more than one visit.Try to bring along everyone who will be

to get adjusted to a new home and a new family.　40　 Interact with your pet a lot and get it used to a routine,and soon you’ll be one big happy family! ‎ A.Get everything ready.‎ B.Both cats and dogs are human’s good partners.‎ C.Dogs need to be walked at least twice a day.‎ D.The pet may act differently once it leaves the shelter.‎ E.Set aside at least a few hours to visit shelters in your area.‎ F.Put away the garbage cans.‎ G.Some may come with emotional or behavioral issues,but most are happy,healthy and ready for a loving home.‎ 答案36~40 GCEAD 第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)‎ 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)‎

‎56.unusual　考查形容词。句意:新西兰一个小镇宣布了一项不寻常的计划,禁止养猫,以保护当地的野生动物。根据后文内容可知,是“一项不寻常的计划”,故填unusual。‎ ‎57.who　考查定语从句连接词。句意:根据该计划,目前拥有猫的人不会被迫将猫送人。本句为定语从句修饰先行词those,且先行词在从句中作主语,指人,故填关系代词who。‎ ‎58.to get　考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,他们的猫死后,他们将不被允许再养一只。短语be allowed to do sth“被允许做某事”后跟不定式,故填to get。‎ ‎59.put　考查非谓语动词。句意:猫咪们需要将微芯片放在皮肤表层以下,以便随时被发现。固定结构have sth done“做某事”,故填过去分词put。‎ ‎60.the　考查冠词或物主代词。skins为名词,此处可填定冠词the。‎ ‎61.is needed　考查动词时态语态。句意:村里的官员说,这个计划是必要的,因为家猫一直在攻击该地区的野生动物。本句中主语plan与need构成被动关系,且时态为一般现在时,故填is needed。‎ ‎62.have been attacking/are attacking　考查动词时态语态。表示过去一直做某事并可能持续到以后用现在完成进行时,结构为have/has been doing...,主语是复数名词,助动词用have,故填have been attacking。或者用现在进行时表示目前此时此刻的情况,故填are attacking。 ‎ ‎63.rapidly　考查副词。句意:正因为如此,该地区的野生动物正在迅速消失。disappear为动词,需要副词修饰,故填rapidly。‎ ‎64.protection　考查名词。句意:新西兰已将150种动物列为严重濒危物种,需要保护。of为介词后跟名词作宾语,故填protection。‎ ‎65.in　考查介词。句意:这些动物包括一种只生活在一种岩石下的蚂蚁和一种只生活在某一地区的蜥蜴。固定短语live in“居住在……”,故填in。‎ 第四部分　写作(共两节,满分40分)‎ 第一节(满分15分)‎ 假设你叫李华,是学生会主席,为了拯救濒危动物,你打算在学校举办一次活动,希望得到校长的批准和支持。请根据以下提示给林校长写一封申请信,内容包括:‎ ‎1.活动:

Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old.He was at home with his elder sister Jane.Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices.At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud,but he soon realized this time it was different.‎ ‎“Quick!Quick!Remove the motorcycles from the shop,” someone yelled.‎ Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate,a thick cloud of smoke greeted him.The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.‎ Jane,who had been playing the violin in her room,hurried to the living room.They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊)through the smoke.‎ They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track.She turned around and headed back the way they came.Tom had no idea what she was doing,but he followed suit.‎ Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them,who they called Makcik Malay for auntie.Jane began banging on Makcik’s door,but got no answer.As the smoke thickened around them,Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety.The thought of fear crossed his mind.‎ ‎“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried.However,Jane refused to give up.“I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.She pounded the door.“Go downstairs.Go now!Go!” ‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.  ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Luckily,some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.  ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 参考范文 Paragraph 1:‎ Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.Frozen with fear,he stood rooted to the spot.He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane’s hand tightly.By then,both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still,though they were probably there for only two or three minutes.Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible.Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head.She kept pounding against the door.Tom burst out crying.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Luckily,some neighbours passing by stopped and offered help.A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind.She told them Makcik must be still in the room.They forced the door open with all their might.Sure enough,Makcik was lying in bed,unconscious.She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital,where she finally came to herself.People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom’s joy was immense.‎
