I’m a happy mother of two wonderful kids. My daughter is Blanca Ramirez. She’s 14 years old right now, but at the age of 11, she began to do long-distance running, she knew she could do more than just run, so she decided to run for a charity.
She ran for Operation Smile. It is a non-profit organization that helps children worldwide suffering from cleft lip or cleft palate (唇腭裂) at no charge. At Operation Smile they believe every such child deserves exceptional surgical (外科的) care.
My daughter believes that no child should be without a smile, so to help even more, she took her running even further. She went on a journey on becoming the youngest female in the world to run 7 marathons on 7 continents in the name of Operation Smile. She did so in order to raise money and awareness to this organization. And she completed her journey by age 12 on February 19, 2015.
But she’s not done. She now continues to help inspire others by running. One person she has inspired so much is her little brother Jordan. He is 7 years old and
has run to this day, 105×5k’s, 11×10k’s & 4×half marathons. He will be running all 7 continents too along with Blanca, starting in November 2017 in Australia.
What makes me proud is that they both plan to continue to help others in this way, and maybe one day they’ll get an Olympic medal.
1. Why did Blanca run for Operation Smile?

【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者的一双儿女通过跑步的方式来帮助别人,这让她非常骄傲。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“she knew she could do more than just run, so she decided
to run for a charity.”可知,Blanca知道她能做的不仅仅是跑步,所以她决定为慈善机构跑步,由此可知,Blanca为“微笑是行动”跑步是因为她想为世界做出自己的贡献,故D项正确。
【2题详解】

【3题详解】
推理判断题。Blanca为慈善机构“微笑是行动”跑步,这说明她很热心,她还通过跑步来激励他人,这说明她是鼓舞人心的,故A项正确。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“What makes me proud is that they both plan to continue to help others in this way”可知,作者的两个孩子让她引以为傲的原因是他们通过跑步的方式来帮助别人,故B项正确。
【点睛】涉及到人物性格特点的推理判断题难度较大,抓住文章讲述的人物的具体事迹是关键,例如本篇第3题,根据前两段内容可知,Blanca为慈善机构“微笑是行动”跑步,这说明她很热心,根据第三段中的“She now continues to help inspire others by running.”可知,她还通过跑步来激励他人,这说明她是鼓舞人心的,由此可知,Blanca是热心且鼓舞人心的。
B
Every spring flowers suddenly come out everywhere on the same day, as if they had an agreement with one another. But how exactly do plants “know” when to flower?
It’s a question puzzling biologists for years. But according to Science Daily, a US research group may have finally answered it—the secret lies in a protein called FKF1. This allows plants to sense the differences in day lengths so that they can tell the seasons are changing.
Researchers found the protein when they were studying a plant called Arabidopsis. They found it’s a photoreceptor (感光器). This means it’ s sensitive to, and can be activated (激活) by sunlight.
Plants produce the protein every day in the late afternoon throughout the year. If there’s no light at this time, for example, in winter when the sun goes down early, it may not be activated. But when spring comes and the days get longer, it can be activated by daylight and the plants “know” it’s time to flower.
Although researchers have only studied how the FKFI protein works in the Arabidopsis, they believe that the process is similar in many other more complex (复杂) plants, including crops like rice and wheat. This could be useful to the agricultural industry.
“If we can control the timing of flowering, we might be able to produce more crops by putting it forward or putting it off,” a leader of the study said. “Also, if we could control the timing of flowering in horticultural (园艺的) plants, they may be worth more money.”
What an amazing thing to think about this!
5. How do plants know when to flower?
A. They get messages from some insects.
B. They receive messages from other plants.
C. A certain protein tells them the time to flower.
D. Sunlight produces a protein in them to help them flower.
6. What can we learn from the article?
A. The study may benefit agricultural industry.
B. We may have plants that flower all year round.
C. Plants don’t flower in cold weather and short days.
D. Researchers found the protein by studying rice and wheat.
7. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the study?
A. Negative. B. Positive.
C. Uncaring. D. Unclear.
【答案】5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了研究人员发现一种叫FKF1的蛋白质告诉植物开花的时间。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But according to Science Daily, a US research group may have finally answered it—the secret lies in a protein called FKF1.”可知,一种叫FKF1的蛋白质告诉植物开花的时间,故C项正确。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“This could be useful to the agricultural industry.”可知,这项研究可能对农业有益,故A项正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。倒数第二段说如果我们能控制开花的时间,我们或许可以通过提前或推迟开花来生产更多的作物。此外,如果我们能控制园艺植物开花的时间,它们可能更值钱,最后一段作者认为这是一件不可思议的事情,由此可知作者对这项研究持积极的态度,故B项正确。
【点睛】涉及到观点态度的推理判断题难度较大,文章通常不会直接表明作者的态度,需要我们根据作者措辞的褒贬来揣摩其态度,例如本篇第4题,倒数第二段说如果我们能控制开花的时间,我们或许可以通过提前或推迟开花来生产更多的作物。此外,如果我们能控制园艺植物开花的时间,它们可能更值钱,最后一段作者认为这是一件不可思议的事情,特别是“amazing”一词表明了作者对这项研究持积极的态度。
C
You might not regard England, which is famous for its almost year round rain, as a place with a water shortage problem. However, James Bevan, head of the UK Environment Agency, warned at a recent conference that England will lack water within 25 years.
A major reason for the shortage is climate change. As recently as 2017, Britain saw its driest 10-month period in over 100 years. In 2018, below-average rainfall caused many reservoirs (水库) to run dangerously low. It’s predicted that, by 2040, over half of UK summers will be hotter than the summer of 2003, and water supply from rivers could fall by between 50-80 percent, according to CNN. In 2003, the UK experienced one of the most significant heat waves in recorded history.
Another major reason is that the British waste too much water in daily life. On average each person uses about 140 liters of water per day through a combination of
showers, washing machines and garden hoses, according to the BBC. Bevan said people should try to save water and that they could cut their daily water use from 140 to 100 liters. “There re simple steps we can take Get a low flush toilet, Take short showers” he said during the conference.
While England may not be the only place facing a water shortage, some other areas have taken measures to avoid one. Israel, for example, recycles waste water, which makes up 40% of the country’s agricultural water.
Wherever you’re in the world, water is precious. Our world is 70% covered by water, but only 2.5% of it is fresh, and only 1% is easily accessible. So let’s try to save the water we’re lucky enough to have and not be wasteful.
8. What can be the best main idea of the passage?
A. English people are wasting too much water.
B. England may run short of water in the near future.
C. Climate change causes water shortage in England
D. English people should solve the problem with water shortage.
9. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?
A. To call on people to save water together.
B. To educate people about the importance of water.
C. To inform people of the water problem in England.
D. To introduce ways to solve the water shortage problem.
10. Where can you probably find the article?
A. In a textbook. B. In a research report.
C. In a travel journal. D. In a newspaper.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了英格兰将在不久的将来缺水。

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。
As most people know, in the past Chinese women had no right to receive formal education. ____11____ One piece of evidence is Nüshu — literally “female script” — a written language only used by women.
A Nüshu museum opened in Puwei Island, Jiangyong county, Hunan province in May 2007. This beautiful island was home to many famous Nüshu authors. This year, according to Xinhua, many tourists visited the museum to appreciate the unique culture of Nüshu.
Known as “the world’s only surviving characters simply for women”, this slim script was developed from standard written Chinese. Centuries ago, Nüshu was taught to girls by elderly women in their homes. During village gatherings, women would use the characters to write poems or lyrics. ___12___
Worried that this ancient culture will soon disappear, Zhao Liming, a professor at Tsinghua University, started a project in 2017, hoping to keep Nüshu alive. ____13____ Designed by Talkmate, a Beijing-based online language education platform, its purpose is to teach Nüshu to more people.
___14___ For example, people often misjudge the characters as “the symbols of some secret cult (邪教)”. The truth is that many old poems written in Nüshu were created by women who wanted to express the difficulties they faced, and how they made it through those hardships. Zhao hopes the app will help people look past these old rumors.
“The words were full of encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at the time,” Zhao said.
Ji Xianlin, the late linguist (语言学家), once wrote that Nüshu is a feminist (女权主义者) symbol, since “it was created by talented women deprived (剥夺) of the right to education.” ___15___
A. Many rumors were spread about Nüshu.
B. The project has made a great achievement.
C. But this doesn’t mean they made no efforts to learn.
D. One of the project’s biggest achievements is an app.
E. In this case men couldn’t understand their meanings.
F. This might be why the ancient script still has value in modern times.
G. This way they expressed the feelings they usually kept hidden from men.
【答案】11. C 12. G
13. D 14. A
15. F
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了古文字女书的历史。
【11题详解】
空前说过去中国妇女没有接受正规教育的权利,空后又提到女性所写的女书,此处需要一个过渡句,既要与上文形成转折关系,又要引出下文女性所取得的成就,故C项(但这并不意味着她们不努力学习)符合语境。
【12题详解】
根据空前的“During village gatherings, women would use the characters to write poems or lyrics.”可知,在村里聚会时,妇女们会用这些字符写诗或词,此处讲的是这样做的目的,故G项(她们通常用这种方式表达她们对男人隐藏的感情)符合语境。
【13题详解】
根据空前的“Worried that this ancient culture will soon disappear, Zhao Liming, a professor at Tsinghua University, started a project in 2017, hoping to keep Nüshu alive.”可知,清华大学教授赵黎明担心这种古老的文化会很快消失,于是在2017
年启动了一个项目,希望能让女书存活下去,空后又提到了一个旨在将女书教给更多人的语言教育平台,故D项(该项目最大的成就之一是一个应用程序)符合语境。
【14题详解】
根据空后的“For example, people often misjudge the characters as “the symbols of some secret cult (邪教)”.”可知,例如,人们经常错误地这些判断字符是一些秘密邪教的象征,故A项(关于女书的谣言四起)符合语境。
【15题详解】
根据空前的“Nüshu is a feminist (女权主义者) symbol, since “it was created by talented women deprived (剥夺) of the right to education.”可知,女书是女权主义者的象征,因为它是由被剥夺了受教育的权利的才华横溢的女性所写,此处解释女书的意义所在,故F项(这也许就是古文字在现代仍然有价值的原因)符合语境。

Although Sam had been warned that a storm was coming, there was little that would keep him from going. As he sailed through the waves about 120 kilometers from land, Sam let out his three-kilometer-long fishing line. The storm was gaining strength on land but had yet to reach the men far offshore (离岸的). That changed around I am. Waves rocked the small boat, which began to turn sideways like an amusement park ride. “Get us out of here!” Tom screamed to Sam. “Let’s go back!”
With the winds and waves kicking up, the boat began to fill with water. Sam and Tom tried to pull in the fishing line together, but the high waves filled the boat with water, forcing Sam to make a hard decision. He cut the line, losing thousands of dollars worth of equipment and fish in the sea. He then pointed the boat toward a port five hours away. Sam then called his boss, William Fox, to report his position.
With dawn coming, Sam spotted the rise of the mountains on the horizon (地平线). He was figuring out a route through the dangerous waters when suddenly the motor stopped. “I couldn’t believe it,” Sam said. “We were 24 kilometers off the coast, and the motor died.” High waves raised and dropped the boat, sending the men crashing into the sides. “William, William!” Sam yelled into the radio. “If you’re coming to get me, come now!”

【答案】Possible version 1:
Shortly after the radio died and the wind continued to blow straight offshore, driving the men farther out to sea. Fear seized Tom and he was trembling, for the water had not only wet his clothes but also ruined his hope of surviving. Sam murmured, “I was warned that a storm was coming. Had it not been for my stubbornness, we would not have lost our equipment and had to face such a terrible situation.” His voice gradually disappeared as waves rocked the boat, making terrifying sounds. After what seemed to be a century, a great darkness fell. Exhausted, they fell asleep.
The next morning, Sam spotted a fishing boat in the distance. He excitedly woke Tom up. Tom rubbed his eyes and stared. Once he caught sight of the boat, he was also
lit up. The chance of surviving made them regain strength and they began to shout loudly. The boat saw them and they went aboard. On the boat they met William and other crew members. Although they had lost thousands of dollars, they came to understand the value of hope.
Possible version 2:
Shortly after, the radio died and the wind continued to blow straight offshore, driving the men farther out to sea. They had been drifting for hours. After what seemed a century, suddenly Sam shouted and pointed at a nearby place, “Look! There is an island!” Sam and Tom quickly jumped into the sea, which became calmer, and they managed to land on the island. They were surprised to find that there were people living on it. The people there gave them some food. The storm seemed to be over and they had a good sleep that night.
The next morning. Sam spotted a fishing boat in the distance. It belonged to the people on the island. These kind people gave the boat to Sam as a present and warned him that the storm would come back again in two days, so he must hurry up! Sam thanked them and set off on the route he had planned. After two days’ sailing, they finally reached the coast. At that time, Sam’s radio rang: “I’m William! I’m in the middle of the sea. The storm is rocking my boat terribly. Help me!”
