第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
If you could sail around the world with only one companion, who would you choose? Guirec Soudee, a 24-year-old man from France, chose his pet chicken.
Soudee has been sailing around the world for two years. No matter which country he sails to, Monique, the hen, is by his side. He found her in the Canary Islands and knew right away they were meant to be best companions. “I didn’t speak any Spanish and she didn’t speak any French, however, we could always have a small talk, even though she didn’t understand me.” Soudee joked.
He had always wanted a companion for his journey and originally thought about bringing a cat, before deciding it would be too much work to look after on a boat. Upon meeting Monique, Soudee realized a hen was the perfect choice. He believed they could communicate with each other well.
Not only does it cost little to raise Monique, but she lays eggs as well — some things that are always a plus in a situation where storing a lot of food can be a challenge. She lays about six eggs a week on average, even in cold climates like Greenland, where Soudee and Monique are docked(进港) now.
And what happens when the weather at sea gets bad? Usually Soudee lets Monique stay freely on the boat, but when the winds get terrible he ensures she is safe in her hutch so that she doesn’t fall out of his boat and into the sea. Another thing Soudee must care for is the rule in every country he visits. They had met with customs
officials in Canada. He was permitted to keep her, but he knows they might not always be so lucky.
Although Monique can sometimes get on his nerves, Soudee says she ’ s much better than a human companion aboard. “She follows me everywhere. All I need to do is shout ‘Monique!’ and she will come to me, sit on me, listen to my small talk and give me company,” he said.
After visiting Greenland, they’ll head down the Bering Strait to Nome, Alaska. From there the destination is undecided, but Soudee will certainly discuss where they should travel to next with Monique.
1. What is so special about Soudee’s sailing around the world?
A. He sails with a pet friend for company.
B. He sails around the world for just two years.
C. He had no difficulty communicating with anyone.
D. He travelled around the world with only one companion.
2. Why does Soudee choose Monique as his companion?
A. She can understand him best.
B. She adds more pleasure to his trip.
C. She helps him store a great deal of food.
D. She lays eggs and listens to his small talks.
3. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Monique does a better job than humans
B. Soudee enjoys Monique’s company a lot.
C. Monique is perfect but sometimes annoys Soudee.
D. Soudee feels grateful for what Monique has done.
4. Where are Soudee and Monique now?
A. In Canada. B. In Greenland.
C. In France. D. In Alaska.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. B
【解析】
本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了来自法国的24岁男子Guirec Soudee选择了和他的宠物鸡一起环游世界的故事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Guirec Soudee, a 24-year-old man from France, chose his pet chicken.
”。Guirec Soudee和他的宠物鸡一同旅行。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He believed they could communicate with each other well.”及第四段“Not only does it cost little to raise Monique, but she lays eggs as well — some things that are always a plus in a situation where storing a lot of food can be a challenge.”可知,宠物鸡不仅能够听Guirec Soudee说话,还能够下蛋给他作为食物,因此选择Monique作为他的同伴。故选D项。
【3题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“Usually Soudee lets Monique stay freely on the boat, but when the winds get terrible he ensures she is safe in her hutch so that she doesn’t fall out of his boat and into the sea.”及第六段“She follows me everywhere. All I need to do is shout ‘Monique!’ and she will come to me, sit on me, listen to my small talk and give me company,” he said.”可知,Monique有时候会使Soudee生气,但是大多数情况下还是比一个人陪伴他旅行更加合适。故选C项。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“After visiting Greenland, they’ll head down the Bering Strait to Nome, Alaska.”可知,他们已经参观完了格陵兰岛,准备沿着白令海峡前往阿拉斯加的诺姆。推断他们现在还在格陵兰岛。故选B项。

Misael is three times the size of other children at his age due to a symdrome(综合症 状) which means he is unable to stop eating.
He is so heavy that he often stops breathing while sleeping — leaving his parents fearing that one day he may not wake up. His dad Manoel Abreu, 38, said, “Everything is hard for him — he is a baby carrying an adult’s weight. His heart must be working under a lot of pressure. If he doesn’t get the treatment he requires, there is a
very good chance that he will pass away.”
Miseal, from Sanot, Brazil, was born a healthy 6lb 6oz, but immediately he started piling on the pounds. Doctors believe he may be suffering from Prader-Willi symdrome, a rare genetic condition that leaves him with greed. He now weighs a heavy 178lb and is still gaining despite following a low-fat diet and walking for 40 minutes each day.
Mum Josiane, 37, said, “He has been putting on a lot of weight since he was a baby—even when I was breastfeeding him. But it was only when he was one and a half years old that we began to worry. He was gaining 3kg a month and was starting to get very heavy. We know we could lose him at any time. Sometimes when he is sleeping, I watch him to see if he is breathing. I cry a lot because we want to help him. But I am also very proud of him because he doesn’t surrender(投降).”
Misael visits a doctor every three months to try to control his condition, but currently there is no cure for Prader-Willi symdrome. Paediatric neurologist(儿科神经科专家)
Lucio said, “Every time we meet, he has put on a lot of weight — sometimes up to 5 kg. I think Misael could get help from someone outside Brazil — both medically and financially — so that he can get the laboratory and genetic testing he needs.”
5. What do Misael’s parents most worry about?
A. He may die of too much weight.
B. He doesn’t do exercise to lose weight.
C. They don’t have any financial support.
D. They have to seek medical help abroad.
6. Suppose Misael is 20kg when he is 18 months old, how heavy will he be when he is two years old?
A. 26kg. B. 30kg.
C. 38kg. D. 42kg.
7. What can we learn about Misael’s disease from the last paragraph?
A. Genetic testing may help him find solutions to his disease.
B. Misael should have gone abroad to have his disease cured.
C. Misael stopped gaining weight as he visited doctors regularly.
D. Misael needs more medical help than financial help to cure his disease.
【答案】5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
本文为一篇说明文。介绍了一位普拉德·威利·西姆德罗姆症的患者Misael患病的痛苦。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“He is so heavy that he often stops breathing while sleeping — leaving his parents fearing that one day he may not wake up.”可知,他的父母担心他因为过于肥胖导致在睡觉时停止呼吸而死亡。故选A项。
【6题详解】
数字计算题。根据第四段“But it was only when he was one and a half years old that we began to worry. He was gaining 3kg a month and was starting to get very heavy.”他在一岁半以后,每个月增加3kg。18个月大的时候是20kg,两岁即24个月大的时候大约38kg。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think Misael could get help from someone outside Brazil — both medically and financially — so that he can get the laboratory and genetic testing he needs.”可知,Misael想要治好病,需要进行基因检测,进行基因检测可以为治好他的病提供解决方法。故选A项。
C
Rock climbing is not just for grown-ups. Your children can also enjoy this fun-filled activity as well as getting its advantages. Aside from its heart-health benefit, it is also known to increase their self-confidence and esteem(尊重). While it may not be an impromptu(即兴的) activity like running or biking, there are many climbing walls that are now available, especially with the development of fitness centers and camps.
The great thing about having your kids join these activities is that it follows up on their natural quality. As you know, children are natural climbers. You can see them going up on trees or climbing tall ladders. With rock climbing, you can satisfy their urges to be a climber.
What’s more, it is fairly easy for the kids compared with adults. With a high strength-to-weight rate, they have less body weight to pull up, and they are more flexible(灵活的).
It is also a low-impact workout that tests your children’s endurance(耐性). It’s easy on their joints(关节) as they burn energy during their ascent. In addition, climbing walls are like giant puzzles begging to be solved. Not only does it test the physical aspects of your children’s development, but it also wakes their mental abilities.
This exercise also helps develop your children’s essential strength and flexibility. Kids are challenged physically as they pull, lift, stretch, and twist their way up. This activity also develops their eye-hand coordination(协调) as they perform their climb.
Almost anyone can do it although it may vary in skill level, namely beginner, intermediate, or advanced. But despite its reputation as an extreme sport, children can do this. One does not need to be super-fit to join a rock climbing class. However, good technique is more necessary than strength when doing this sport.
8. When it comes to climbing, compared with children, adults______.
A. find it much easier
B. must bear more body weight
C. have a higher weight-to-strength rate
D. follow up more on their natural quality
9. The underlined word “ascent” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.
A. test B. climb
C challenge D. improvement
10. What may the next paragraph talk about after this passage?
A. What technique children need to climb rocks.
B. What more advantages climbing has for children.
C. How much strength people need to climb rocks.
D. What training classes there are to teach children.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A
【解析】
本文为一篇说明文。介绍了孩子攀岩的好处。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“What’s more, it is fairly easy for the kids compared with adults. With a high strength-to-weight rate, they have less body weight to pull up, and they are more flexible(灵活的).”可知,孩子们强度质量比更高,攀爬时具有更小的体重,因此成年人攀岩时需要承受更大的体重。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段后文“In addition, climbing walls are like giant puzzles begging to be solved.”可知,前句也在描述攀爬,故猜测“ascent”与“climb”同意为“攀岩”。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。分析全文,文章为一篇说明文介绍了孩子们进行攀岩好处,接下来可能介绍孩子们攀岩有关其他方面,A项“孩子们攀岩时需要什么技巧”与文章接合合理。故选A项。

考查现在分词作状语。分析句子,所填空作状语修饰前句sports,appeal to意为“吸引……”故填appealing to。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配及过去分词作表语。分析句子可知,never has anyone意为“没有人”,found后形容词作表语,河与污染为逻辑上的被动关系,find的过去分词found可做形容词。 考查故填(1). Never (2). polluted。
【40题详解】
考查虚拟语气。分析句子,“知道她的问题”“我们会给她帮助。”与现在事实相反,从句用一般过去时,主句用would+do。故填(1). knew (2). would。

44. declared
45. to retire
46. have made
47. but 48. saying
49. a 50. wonderful
【解析】
本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了九十高龄的Irene作为英国最年长的全职员工,依然在宠物店做着朝九晚五的工作,没有退休的打算,她由此被评为“年度女士”。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。根据其前介词for可知,此处用动名词形式作宾语,故填being。
【42题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知,先行词为the pet shop,在非限制性定语从句中作opened一词的宾语,故用which。
【43题详解】
考查副词用法。根据空格所处位置可知,此处应用副词形式作状语,修饰谓语动词have been acknowledged,意为“最终得到认可”,故填finally。
【44题详解】
考查时态。根据上下文可知,该句主语为Irene,此处为谓语成分,根据后文had以及said
可知,用一般过去时态,故填declared。
【45题详解】
考查不定式作定语。此处用to do sth作后置定语,用来修饰前面的名词plan,表示“……的计划”,故填to retire。
【46题详解】
考查动词时态。根据该定语从句中的时间状语“over the years”可知,此处用现在完成时态,句意:我喜欢到这里来看看我的家人和我这些年来交到的朋友们。故填have made。
【47题详解】
考查并列连词。根据句意逻辑可知,此处为转折关系,句意:我工作不是因为我不得不做,而是因为我想做。此处用but与前文not呼应,构成“不是……而是……”之意,故填but。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。前面已经有谓语动词call,故此处用非谓语动词形式,根据say与其逻辑主语call是主动关系,故填saying。
【49题详解】
考查冠词用法。句意:我们还以为这是一个玩笑。此处joke为泛指,故填a。
【50题详解】
考查形容词作表语。根据句子结构可知,在系动词is之后用形容词形式作表语,故填wonderful。

第二节 概要写作(满分 20 分)
52.IV. Summary Writing
Take Care of Your Spine (脊柱)
The spine stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains your spinal cord, a massive collection of nerves that sends electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain. Therefore, it’s important to take care of it.
Maintaining your good posture is one of the most important things you can do to keep your spine healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you’re asleep. Sleeping on your side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions. Having a comfortable bed is also very important as sleeping in a position that isn’t comfortable can leave your back feeling sore the next day.
Exercise is also an important factor in the health of your spine. Staying still for too long—even if your posture is good—can be hard on your back. Especially if you work at a desk most of the day, it’s important to get up and stretch periodically. Stretches can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better positions. Strength exercises with light weights or bodyweight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine. However, don’t overdo the exercise, as repeated motions can hurt the muscles around your spine.
Your diet also affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, B vitamins help keep nerves healthy, so you may want to consider taking a supplement (补充物). Another important factor is vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones, but it’s also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some of those back exercises outside.
【答案】Central to health, your spine needs your good care. First, keep a good posture, including standing or sitting straight and sleeping on your side in a comfortable bed. Second, avoid keeping a same posture for long and take proper exercise to relax and strengthen spine muscles. Third, have a diet with enough vitamins for healthy bones and nerves.

【详解】脊柱是你健康的中心,为你的身体提供结构和支撑。它还包括你的脊髓,一个巨大的神经集合,从你身体的其他部分向你的大脑发送电信号。因此,照顾好它是很重要的。在写文章概要时要把照顾好脊柱的重要性的三个要点列出来。首先要突出脊柱是健康的核心,需要良好的护理。然后分三点进行说明:第一,保持良好的姿势,包括站直或坐直,侧卧在舒适的床上。第二,避免长时间保持相同的姿势,适当的运动来放松和加强脊柱肌肉。第三,饮食中要有足够的维生素来维持骨骼和神经的健康。
