The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded that planting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.‎ If only it were true. But it isn't. Planting trees would slow down the planet's warming, but the only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels, to net zero by 2050.‎ Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster. For example, in the Netherlands, you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank, to plant trees to balance the carbon release from your driving. That's clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed. The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political, economic, technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels.‎ There is no way that planting trees, even across a global area the size of the United States, can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies. Trees do take up carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when forests were cleared in the first place, usually long ago. Regrowing forests where they once grew can undo some damage done in the past, but even a trillion trees can't store enough carbon to head off dramatic climate changes this century.‎ In a sharp counter argument to last summer's Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the study's findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle. He warned that “the claim that global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective climate ‎ solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.‎ ‎8. What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?‎ A. It was published in a journal.‎ B. It was proposed last summer.‎ C. It was put forward by Trump.‎ D. It drew lots of public attention.‎ ‎9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ A. A drawback of the tree planting strategy.‎ B. An example of balancing carbon release.‎ C. An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.‎ D. A responsibility for politicians and economists.‎ ‎10. What was Justin Gillis's attitude towards global tree restoration?‎ A. Indifferent. B. Opposed.‎ C. Hesitant. D. Supportive.‎ ‎11. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.‎ B. A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.‎ C. Planting Trees Won't Save the World.‎ D. The Best Solution to Climate Change.‎ ‎【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文为一篇议论文。文章论述了作者不赞成美国总统Trump响应 “种一万亿棵树”来对抗气候变化的倡议，作者认为真正能解决问题的方法是迅速地大量减少碳排放。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded that planting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.去年夏天，发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究得出结论，大量种树是“迄今为止最有效的气候变化解决方案”，这 “一万亿棵树”的想法赢得了广泛关注。可知，一万亿树的想法引起了公众的广泛关注。故选D项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第三段Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster. 把树木作为解决气候变化的主要办法是一种危险的转移。更糟糕的是，它把注意力从那些对碳排放负责的人身上移开，正是这些人把我们推向灾难。因此，第3段主要论述了以植树来保护环境的缺点。故选A项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段In a sharp counter argument to last summer's Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the study's findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle. He warned that “the claim that global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”. Justin Gillis在《科学》杂志上发表了与去年夏天《科学》杂志公布的研究结果截然相反的观点，他认为去年夏天公布的那个研究结果是不符合地球碳循环动力学的。同时，他发出警告：通过植树来解决气候问题是不科学的，是错误的，是危险的，是具有误导性的。推测，Justin Gillis对植树提议是持反对态度的。故选B项。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。结合全文，文章论述了作者不赞成美国总统Trump响应 “种一万亿棵树”来对抗气候变化的倡议，作者认为真正能解决问题的方法是迅速地大量减少碳排放，种树的想法是不科学的，且具有误导性。C项“植树不会拯救世界。”符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选C项。‎ D The Jewish(犹太人）family-had-just finished supper and the woman had placed the dishes in the sink.The kitchen was quite damp and even gloomier than in the main room.It was their third apartment since the start of the war,they had abandoned the other two in a hurry.The woman came back into the room and sat down again at the table.The 3-year-old boy sat with his back straight,his eyes fixed on his father,but it was obvious that he was so sleepy that he could barely sit up.‎ The man was smoking a cigarette.His eyes were blood-shot and he kept blinking in a funny way.This blinking had begun soon after they fled the second apartment.‎ It was late,past ten o'clock and they could have gone to sleep,but first they had to play the game that they had been playing every day for two weeks.Even though the man tried his best and he moved very quickly,the fault was his and not the child's.The boy was.marvelous.Seeing his father ‎ put out his cigarette,he opened his blue eyes even wider.The woman,who didn't actually take part in the game, stroked the boy's hair.‎ ‎“We'll play the key game just one more time only today.Isn't that right?"she asked her husband.‎ He didn't answer because he was not sure.They were still two or three minutes off. He arose and walked towards the bathroom door.Then the woman called out softly,“Ding-dong."At the sound of the bell ringing so musically from his mother's lips,the boy jumped up from his chair and ran to the front door,which was separated from the main room by a narrow corridor.‎ ‎“Who's there?"he asked.‎ The woman,remaining in her chair,shut her eyes tight as if feeling a sudden, sharp pain.‎ ‎“I'l1 open up in a minute,I'm just looking for the keys,"the child called out. Then he ran back to the main room,making a lot of noise with his feet.He ran in circles around the table,pulled out one of the sideboard drawers,and slammed it shut.‎ ‎“Just a minute,I can't find them,I don't know where Mama put them,"he yelled,then dragged the chair across the room,climbed onto it,and reached up to the top of the shelf.‎ ‎“I found them!”he shouted triumphantly.Then he got down from the chair, pushed it back to the table,and calmly walked to the door and opened it.‎ ‎“Shut the door,darling,"the woman said softly."You were perfect.”‎ The child didn't hear what she said.He stood in the middle of the room,staring at the closed bathroom door.‎ ‎“Shut the door, the woman repeated in a tired flat voice.Every evening she repeated the same words,and every evening he stared at the closed bathroom door.‎ At last it opened.The man was pale and his clothes were streaked with lime and dust.He stood there,eyes blinking in that funny way.‎ ‎“Well?How did it go?"asked the woman.‎ ‎“I still need more time.He has to look for them longer.I slip in sideways all right,but then...It's so tight in there that when I turn...And he's got to make more noise-he should stamp his feet louder."‎ The child didn't take his eyes off him.‎ ‎“Say something to him,"the woman whispered.‎ ‎＂You did a good job,little one,"he said mechanically.‎ ‎“That's right,”the woman said,“you're really doing a wonderful job,darling. You act just like a ‎ grown-up.And you do know that if someone should really ring the doorbell when Mama is at work,everything will depend on you?And what will you say when they ask you about your parents?”‎ ‎“Mama's at work.”‎ ‎“And Papa?"He was silent.‎ ‎“And Papa?"the man screamed in terror.The child turned pale.‎ ‎“And Papa?”the man repeated more calmly.‎ ‎“He's dead,”＂the child answered and threw himself at his father,who was standing right beside him,but already long dead to the people who would really ring the bell.‎ ‎12. What does the underlined sentence in Para.5 mean?‎ A. The family needed to practise the game for another 2 or 3 minutes.‎ B. There was still 2 or 3 minutes left before someone knocked at the door.‎ C. They would become too sleepy to play the game 2 or 3 minutes later.‎ D. The father needed 2 or 3 more minutes before the kid opened the door.‎ ‎13. Why did the boy make a lot of noise when he was looking for the key?‎ A. Because he needed to drown out the noise caused by his father.‎ B. Because he was too little and just couldn't control his footsteps.‎ C. Because he was too anxious to find the key to open the door with.‎ D. Because he met many barriers on his way to where the key was.‎ ‎14. In Para.12,why did the mother repeat“shut the door”in a tired,flat voice, instead of the previous soft one?‎ A. She was angry because her son didn't close the door as he had been told to.‎ B. She felt anxious because she knew her husband would be annoyed at the boy again.‎ C. She was disappointed because the boy's movement betrayed again where her husband was.‎ D. She was impatient because she was asked to repeat these words again and again every evening.‎ ‎15. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Scary Night B. The Key Game C. My Father Is Dead D. An Innocent Boy ‎【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是三岁的男孩和父母晚上玩的找钥匙游戏。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 句意猜测题。根据第五段中They were still two or three minutes off.“他们还有两三分钟的时间。”和下文的“I'l1 open up in a minute,I'm just looking for the keys,"the child called out. “我马上就开门，我只是在找钥匙。”孩子叫道。由此推知划线句意的意思是“父亲又过了两三分钟，孩子才打开门。”故选D。‎ ‎13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第8段“I'l1 open up in a minute,I'm just looking for the keys,"the child called out. Then he ran back to the main room,making a lot of noise with his feet.He ran in circles around the table,pulled out one of the sideboard drawers,and slammed it shut. “我马上就开门，我只是在找钥匙。”孩子叫道。然后他跑回主屋，用脚弄出很大的声响。他绕着桌子跑了一圈，拉出一个餐具柜抽屉，砰地关上。和下文中的he's got to make more noise-he should stamp his feet louder.“他得弄出更多的声音——他跺脚的声音应该更大一些。”由此推知，这个男孩在找钥匙的时候之所以发出这么大的声音，是因为他需要淹没他父亲发出的噪音。故选A。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第13—15段中At last it opened.The man was pale and his clothes were streaked with lime and dust.He stood there,eyes blinking in that funny way. 最后它打开了。那人脸色苍白，衣服上布满了石灰和灰尘。他站在那里，眼睛眨得很滑稽。“Well?How did it go?"asked the woman. “嗯?进展如何?”女人问。“I still need more time.He has to look for them longer.I slip in sideways all right,but then...It's so tight in there that when I turn...And he's got to make more noise-he should stamp his feet louder." “我还需要更多的时间。他不得不花更长的时间去寻找它们。我侧身滑了进去，但后来…里面太紧了，我一转身……他必须制造更多的噪音——他应该跺脚更大声。”由此可知，母亲用疲惫、平淡的声音重复着“关上门”，而不是先前那句温柔的话是因为她很失望，因为男孩的举动再次泄露了她丈夫的行踪。故选C。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 标题判断题。根据第三段It was late,past ten o'clock and they could have gone to sleep,but first they had to play the game that they had been playing every day for two weeks.“时间已经很晚了，10点多了，他们本来可以去睡觉的，但是他们必须先玩他们已经玩了两个星期的游戏。”和第四段“We'll play the key game just one more time only today.Isn't that right?"she asked her ‎ husband. “我们只会在今天再玩一次找钥匙的比赛。好吗?”她问丈夫。这篇文章讲述了一个找钥匙比赛。所以B项为最佳标题。故选B。‎ 第二节 阅读下面的短文，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。‎ The factors that cause youth unemployment often differ among regions and labor systems. ____16____ Since firing full-time workers is so complicated and expensive, employers are unwilling to take on new staff, while people who are already employed, mainly older workers, often keep their jobs for life. In developing countries with high birthrates and very young populations, like the Philippines, growth isn’t strong enough to absorb the wave of youngsters entering the workforce each year. ____17____ Young people entering the workforce are often the most vulnerable（易受伤害的）in economic downturns — new employees are often the first to get sacked, while college graduates find few employers willing to hire.‎ ‎___18___ In Spain, Italy and Japan, for instance, companies looking to gain flexibility in regulated labor markets often offer new, young staffers only short-term contracts. These contracts, which sometimes last for only a few days, usually come with low salaries and few benefits. Since such staff is temporary, employers have little intention to invest in training.‎ Facing such obstacles, young people everywhere are finding that traditional route to success — education — isn’t paying off as much as in the past. ____19____ They will often be offered low-skilled jobs from waiters to supermarket clerks. A March report form the UK’s Office for National Statistics showed that the share of recent college graduates in Britain working in lower-skilled jobs rose to nearly 35% in 2011 form less than 27% a decade earlier. ____20____ Typical is Cairo’s Ahmed Said. He graduated from college with a business degree, and after performing the obligatory（义务的）year of military service, he applied for jobs in accounting and data entry. But Said, 24, had no luck, and today he works as a waiter at a cafe near Tahrir Square. “This was my last choice,” he says, “and this is the job that I got.”‎ A. Young graduates often find themselves competing with more-experienced workers.‎ B. More and more college graduates are forced to take jobs below their skill level.‎ C. They started applying for any positions they could find in other countries.‎ D. In some parts of the world, such jobs are all that is available to college graduates.‎ E. Yet youth unemployment also has common roots throughout the world.‎ F. Those young workers who do find employment are often trapped in awful contracts.‎ G. In much of Western Europe overemphasized labor protection makes it more difficult for youths to land good jobs.‎ ‎【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了不同地区和劳动力制度导致年轻人失业的不同因素。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 根据上一句 The factors that cause youth unemployment often differ among regions and labor systems. 导致年轻人失业的因素在不同地区和劳动力制度之间往往有所不同。可知，此处内容与年轻人工作困难有关，选项G“在西欧大部分地区，过度强调劳动保护使得年轻人更难找到好工作。”符合题意。故选G。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 根据下一句Young people entering the workforce are often the most vulnerable（易受伤害的）in economic downturns — new employees are often the first to get sacked, while college graduates find few employers willing to hire. 在经济低迷时期，进入职场的年轻人往往是最脆弱的——新员工往往是最先被解雇的，而大学毕业生发现很少有雇主愿意雇佣。可知，此处内容与解释为什么年轻人最容易被解雇或失业有关，选项E“然而，青年失业在世界各地也有共同的根源。”符合题意。故选E。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据下文These contracts, which sometimes last for only a few days, usually come with low salaries and few benefits. 这些合同有时只持续几天，通常工资很低，福利也很少。可知，此处内容与工作的年轻人遇到糟糕的合同有关，选项F“那些找到工作的年轻工人经常陷入糟糕的合同中。”符合题意。故选F。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 根据下一句They will often be offered low-skilled jobs from waiters to supermarket clerks. 他们经常会得到从服务员到超市店员等低技能工作。可知，此处内容与大学毕业生被迫做低技能的工作有关，选项B“越来越多的大学毕业生被迫从事低于他们技能水平的工作。”符合题意。故选B。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据下一句Typical is Cairo’s Ahmed Said. 典型的是开罗的Ahmed ‎。可知，此处内容与大学毕业生从事低技能工作的现象有关，选项D“在世界上的一些地方，大学毕业生只能找到这样的工作。”符合题意。故选D。‎ 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Most people get rid of their leftover foods, but in Nigerian-born visual artist Haneefah Adam's kitchen, they're put to good use.‎ Adam, 28, is famous for___21___food in creative ways, using it to make portraits and other works of art. She has___22___been artistic.

"It should follow teenagersˈ growth." Sun said that students could also do sports to learn to face difficulties, for doing sports can greatly strengthen their bodies and minds.‎ ‎【写作内容】（1）以约30个词概括图文的主要内容；（2）以约120个词谈谈你对“吃苦教育”的理解和个人看法，并给出2~3点理由。‎ ‎【写作要求】（1）可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；（2）作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称：（3）不必写标题。‎ ‎【评分标准】概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。‎ ‎【答案】Possible version 1 (支持)：‎ Despite the improvement of our lives “hardship education” in China still gains widespread recognition, yet it arouses different voices among the public as well according to a recent survey.‎ As is known, hardship education refers to all kinds of activities including community service, social practice, voluntary work and various sports, which allow teenagers to experience the difficulties of life and society, thus contributing to their growth.‎ From my perspective, with the fast-paced development of our living standards, hardship education has become more of a must for the contemporary youth. For one thing, challenging activities in various forms guarantee teenagers access to building up their strength and developing necessary surviving skills. For another, but for hardship education, teenagers could not enhance their overall qualities such as courage and perseverance, sweeping away all the obstacles on the way to success and better preparing themselves for the future.‎ To sum up, society, schools and families should attach great importance to hardship education for all students.‎ Possible version 2 (反对)：‎ Despite the improvement of our lives “hardship education” in China still gains widespread recognition, yet it arouses different voices among the public as well according to a recent survey.‎ While I admit that hardship education is intended to cultivate desirable qualities such as self-sufficiency and perseverance in students, the education process doesn’t necessarily involve ‎ short-term physical ‘hardship’ for students to undergo. Firstly, hardship education such as experiencing life in poor areas usually lasts no longer than 2 weeks, which is too short to bear any fruit. Secondly, teenagers are well aware of the fact that the hardship they are exposed to is divorced from the life they lead in reality. Hence, the training becomes no more than a ceremony and teenagers return to their routine unchanged. Thirdly, the word ‘hardship’ doesn;t look fancy enough to appeal to teenagers. At this age, they are more willing to explore the world, to exhibit their uniqueness and to unleash their creativity, thus activities like sports or self-organized trips competition will be their cup of tea.‎ By and large, hardship education is a means to an end, and the means should be more diverse to suit the teenagers’ needs.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本篇书面表达考查读写任务。‎ ‎【详解】第1步：以约30个词概括图文的主要内容。《中国青年报》最近对2020人进行的一项调查显示，81.8%的受访者支持艰苦教育，包括体验贫困地区的生活、参加户外训练、做兼职和做家务。以约120个词谈谈你对“吃苦教育”的理解和个人看法，并给出2~3点理由。‎ 第2步：根据写作要求，确定关键词（组）：hardship education；gains widespread recognition；refer to；contribute to；living standards；access to；build up；courage and perseverance；sweep away等等。 ‎ 第3步：根据提示及关键词（组）进行遣词造句，注意主谓一致和时态问题。此处文章主要应用一般现在时和一般将来时。 ‎ 第4步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。‎ ‎【点睛】范文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达方式，如As is known, hardship education refers to all kinds of activities including community service, social practice, voluntary work and various sports, which allow teenagers to experience the difficulties of life and society, thus contributing to their growth.使用了两个定语从句和非谓语动词。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。‎
