One Monday morning I came into the classroom and caught Joe ____1____ a picture on his math book. This was one day after I had given the class a lecture on taking care of school property. Normally I would have got angry and ____2____ him to the office. Instead, I walked over to his desk and stood there. Joe closed the book immediately, trying to hide his drawing. I said, “Let me ____3____ what I said yesterday: these textbooks are going to be used for the next five years, and I ____4____ you to take good care of them.” “Sorry,” Joe murmured. “I forgot.” “I see.” I said.
When I returned to Joe’s desk again, he was erasing the drawing with his tiny, worn-out eraser. I ____5____ him mine and a drawing pad, and then said, “Here, this might make the job ____6____. And you can also use the pad whenever you have the ____7____ to draw.” Joe looked ____8____ and said, “Thanks.” I nodded and started my lesson.
Joe hasn’t drawn in his textbook since. He keeps the pad in his pocket and shows me his drawing from time to time. I’m glad I didn’t ask him to go to the office that day.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,共15分)
A
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空.在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
A new study ___11___ (conduct) at the University of Kansas suggests that added sugars can cause some processes tied to depressive illness. The researchers found that inflammation (炎症) is the key effect of dietary sugar related to mental health. High sugar consumption could result in a perfect storm, negatively ___12___ (affect) the body and brain. “Many people ___13___ depression have high levels of systemic inflammation, which can directly push the brain into a severe depression. And added sugars stimulate this process,” said Stephen Ilardi.
【答案】11.conducted 12.affecting 13.with
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究表明,过多地摄入糖会导致抑郁症的发生。
11.【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:由Kansas大学进行的一项新研究表明,过多的摄入糖会导致抑郁症的发生。分析句子结构可知,空处是非谓语动词做后置定语,修饰名词study(研究),且动词conduct(进行)和名词study二者之间是被动关系,此处应用conduct的过去分词形式conducted,故填conducted。
12.【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:高糖摄入会产生一大堆麻烦事,对身体和大脑产生负面影响。分析句子结构可知,空处是非谓语的动词做状语,动词affect(影响)的逻辑主语是主句主语High sugar consumption(高糖摄入),且二者之间是主动关系,所以此处应用affect的现在分词形式,故填affecting。
13.【解析】考查介词。句意:许多抑郁症患者有高度的全身炎症,这可以直接推动大脑进入严重抑郁状态。根据句意可知,此处表示“有抑郁症”,所以应用介词with,表示“有”,此处是“with+名词”结构做后置定语,修饰名词people(人),故填with。
B
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Finally her dream came true. She was not only on the starting line, but also the winner at the finish line. Tanni believes you’ll never know what you can do ___17___ you try.
【答案】14.with 15.was growing 16.competing 17.unless
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了因病不能正常活动肌肉的坦尼,对体育很感兴趣,最终实现了梦想,参加了马拉松比赛。
14.【解析】考查介词。句意:坦尼生来就患有疾病,这使她无法正常活动肌肉。根据句意,空处应填介词with,构成短语be born with表示“与生俱来,生而具有”,符合题意。故填with。
15.【解析】考查时态。句意:坦尼对体育很感兴趣,但在她成长的过程中,她在电视上看不到很多残疾人运动员。结合语境,此处表示“在坦尼成长的过程中”,表示过去在某一段时间内正在发生或进行的动作,应用过去进行时,主语she是第三人称单数,be动词应用was。故填was growing。
16.【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:她梦想自己能站在起跑线上,参加马拉松比赛。分析句子,空处作非谓语动词,compete与逻辑主语she之间是主动关系,应用现在分词作状语。故填competing。
17.【解析】考查连词。句意:坦尼相信,除非你尝试,否则你永远不会知道自己能做什么。分析句子,空处引导条件状语从句,表示“除非”,应用连词unless。故填unless。

When most people think of the word, “brand”, they think of the Nike Swoosh, Ford “blue oval,” McDonalds Golden Arches, or the “State Farm is There” jingle. They know what theywill get with a wellbranded product or service as promised. Think of Volvo, for instance, and your first thoughts are probably something like “well built, comfortable, Swedish” and, most of all, “safety”.
So a brand is a lot more than a logo, icon, or slogan. Catchy as it may sound, it isn’t the “brand” in the true sense—and it certainly isn’t what makes the brand valuable.A company’s brand is a promise. It’s a description of the company’s character. To some extent, it’s a mission; it’s how the company creates and delivers value. Also, it’s the feeling the company conveys to its stakeholders. Successful brands meet various challenges and consistently deliver on their promises, which is how they create brand value.To illustrate it, here are some brand promises from three highly successful, world-wide brands:The NFL: “To be the premier sports and entertainment brand that brings people together, connecting them socially and emotionally like no other.”Coca-Cola: “To inspire moments of optimism and uplift.”VirginAtlantic: “To be genuine, fun, contemporary, and different in everything we do at a reasonable price.”
Interesting. In none of the above cases does the brand promise describe what these companies do or provide. The NFL’s brand promise says nothing about football. Coca-Cola doesn’t talk about providing the best soft drinks in the world. And Virgin Atlantic’s promise goes a lot farther than seating passengers in its aircrafts.
Of course, a promise is nowhere near enough. The promise along with look, personality, time, money, and hard work combined can eventually help to build and maintain great brands and acquire a special patina(光泽) of what I call “me” appeal, showing my personal appetite. Apple has that patina. All of this can lead to sub-brands, like iPhone and iPad which acquire the glory of the parent brand.
Sometimes a brand is memorable because of little things. TD Bank has a special place in their branches for you to deposit all those coins you collect in jars. It is called the Penny Arcade that turns depositing your coins into a fun game in which you can even win prizes. Years ago, Dime Savings Bank in New York had a small dime(十分硬币) carrier. It was given to kids and then they’d fill up its 50 slots (投币口) with a dime in each one and bring it to exchange for a $5 bill.
24.What can we know from the first 2 paragraphs?
A.People tend to believe in top brands because they deliverwhat is promised.
B.Well branded Swedish products are of good quality but more costly than others.
C.Well branded products are faced with great challenges of quality currently.
D.A company shouldn’t care about logos because they can’t make the brand valuable.
25.In the author’s opinion, a brand promise is ___________.
A.thecontract between a company and the people who interact with it
B.the only way to build and maintain a great brand’s value
C.a description of what a company actually does for its consumers
D.an important factor contributing to the success of a brand
26.According to the passage, what isprobably “Virgin Atlantic”?
A.A financial company. B.A high-tech software product.
C.An airline company. D.An entertainment product.
27.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Buying a certain brand says nothing about the person who buys it.
B.Little things can mean a lot and make a brand memorable.
C.Sub-brands are relatively easy to build and generate huge profits.
D.Dime Savings Bank’s dime carriers are difficult for kids to operate.
【答案】24.A 25.D 26.C 27.B
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。当大多数人想到“品牌”这个词时,他们想到的是耐克的标志,福特的“蓝色椭圆”。文章告诉我们“小事情可以意味着很多,让一个品牌令人难忘。”
24.【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中They know what they will get with a well branded product or service as promised.第二段中A company’s brand is a promise. It’s a description of the company’s character. To some extent, it’s a mission; it’s how the company creates and delivers value.可知,从第二段我们知道“人们倾向于相信顶级品牌,因为他们兑现了承诺。”故选A。
25.【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中Successful brands meet various challenges and consistently deliver on their promises, which is how they create brand value. 笔者认为,品牌承诺是一个品牌成功的重要因素。故选D。
26.【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句Virgin Atlantic’s promise goes a lot farther than seating passengers in its aircrafts.根据文章,“Virgin Atlantic”可能是“一个航空公司。”故选C。
27.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句Sometimes a brand is memorable because of little things.从这篇文章可以推断出“小事情可以意味着很多,让一个品牌令人难忘。”故选B。

Plastic—Eating Worm
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that ends up in landfills(垃圾填埋场) , and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms(幼虫).
Researchers in Spain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯), which accounts for 40% of plastics.
That is to say, part of plastics can be consumed by this kind of worms. The team left 100 wax worms on a plastic shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass—apparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology.
Federica Bertocchini, co—author of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food—beeswax—also allows them to break down plastic." Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon—carbon bond, is there as well," she explains. "The wax worm developed a method or system to break this bond."
Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify where the enzyme comes from. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help make use of the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic."
28.What can we learn about the worms in the study?
A.They take plastics as their everyday food.
B.They can consume plastics.
C.They end up in landfills.
D.They are new creatures.
29.According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to ________.
A.prove the research findings
B.discover other kinds of worms
C.increase the breakdown speed
D.find out the source of the enzyme
30.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might ________.
A.help to raise worms
B.help make plastic bags
C.be used to clean the oceans
D.be produced in factories in future
31.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To propose new means to keep eco—balance.
B.To present a way to break down plastics.
C.To introduce the diet of a special worm.
D.To explain a study method on worms.
【答案】28.B 29.D 30.D 31.B
【解析】本文是说明文,作者介绍了一项科学发现:一种吃塑料的虫子—大蜡螟,它胃中的酶能够降解塑料,从而为人们解决塑料污染问题提供新的途径。
28.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers in Spain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯),which accounts for 40% of plastics.”(西班牙和英国的研究人员发现,大蜡蛾的蠕虫可以分解占塑料40%的聚乙烯。)可知研究人员发现大蜡螟蠕虫能够分解塑料,显然也可以分解垃圾中的塑料,与B项的 “消耗塑料”吻合,故选B项。
29.【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify where the enzyme comes from. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?” (DeBruyn说,下一步将是确定酶的来源。它是蠕虫本身产生的酶还是它的肠道微生物产生的酶? )可知,接下来人们需要证实的是酶是从哪里产生的,D项“查明酶的来源”与此吻合。故选D项。
30.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic."” (但她希望在某种工业过程中使用这种化学物质,而不是简单地“把数百万只虫子扔在塑料上”)可推知,研究人员期望在某种工业流程中使用这种化学制品,而不仅仅是把数百万的虫子扔到塑料上。这与选项D中提到的 “今后工厂可能生产这种化学制品”吻合,故选D项。
31.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容,结合第二段“Researchers in Spain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯),which accounts for 40% of plastics.”(西班牙和英国的研究人员发现,大蜡蛾的蠕虫可以分解占塑料40%的聚乙烯)可知,作者通过本文介绍了一项消除塑料垃圾的研究,显然是为了人们提供了一条清除塑料垃圾的新途径。故选C项。
D
The people who happen to be in a city center at any given moment may seem like a random collection of individuals. But new research featuring a simple mathematical law shows that urban travel patterns worldwide are, in fact, predictable despite location.
Researchers discovered what is known as an inverse square relation (平方反比关系) between the number of people in a given urban location and the distance they traveled to get there, as well as how frequently they made the trip. It may seem intuitive (直觉的) that people visit nearby locations frequently and distant ones less so, but the newly discovered relation accurately predicts, for instance, that the number of people coming from two kilometers away five times per week will be the same as the number coming from five kilometers twice a week.
The researchers analyzed data from about eight million people between 2006 and 2013 in six urban locations. This study focused on locations and examined how many people were visiting, from how far and how requently. The researchers found that all the unique choices people make—from dropping kids at school to shopping-obey this inverse square law.
One explanation for this strong statistical patter is that traveling requires time and energy, and people have limited resources for it. At the core is the effort that people are willing to invest collectively to travel to certain locations, trying to optimize their days.
Understanding these patterns is important not only for planning the placement of new shopping centers or public transportation but also for modeling disease transmission within cities, says Kathleen Stewart, a geographer and mobility researcher.
Many researchers estimate travel with “gravity models”, which assume that movement between cities is proportional (成比例的) to their population sizes. But these models do not account for travel patters within cites—information that is particularly critical in dealing with disease transmission Epidemiologist (流行病学家) Sam Scarpino says models based on this new finding might better track that flow.
“Those organizational patterns have really profound (深远的) implications on how COVID will spread,” Scarpino says. In a smaller rural location, where many people regularly go to the same grocery store, the entire town will experience sharp peaks of infections as the virus sweeps through the community. But in a bigger city, the spread takes longer he explains, because mini epidemics can occur in each neighborhood somewhat separately.
32.What does the underlined word “optimize” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Slow down. B.Keep a record of.
C.Think back on. D.Make the most of.
33.Why does the author mention “gravity models” in Paragraph 6?
A.To introduce the travel patterns within cities.
B.To stress the importance of tracking diseases.
C.To compare the urban and rural infection rates.
D.To show the advantage of the inverse square law.
34.Which of the following can be supported by the newly discovered law?
A.Diseases spread faster in rural areas than big cities.
B.Trip distance seldom influences people’s travel choices.
C.Epidemics are harder to discover in big cities than in rural areas,
D.City residents are likely to make frequent trips to a distant place.
【答案】32.D 33.D 34.A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一项新研究,利用简单数学定律预测全球城市旅行模式,并介绍该定律的优点。
32.【解析】词义猜测题。根据第四段“One explanation for this strong statistical patter is that traveling requires time and energy, and people have limited resources for it. (这种深刻的统计模式的一种解释是,行走需要时间和精力,而人们的资源有限。)”可知,人们的资源、时间和精力有限,所以人们要使他们的一天达到最优化的效果。故推知optimize的意思是“使最优化”与make the most of意义一致,故选D。
33.【解析】推理判断题。根据第六段“Many researchers estimate travel with “gravity models”, which assume that movement between cities is proportional (成比例的) to their population sizes. But these models do not account for travel patters within cites—information that is particularly critical in dealing with disease transmission Epidemiologist (流行病学家) Sam Scarpino says models based on this new finding might better track that flow. (许多研究人员使用“重力模型”来估计旅行,该模型假设城市之间的移动与其人口规模成比例的。但这些模型没有考虑到城市内部的旅行。这些信息在处理疾病传播时尤其重要。流行病学家Sam Scarpino表示,基于这一新发现,可能会更好地跟踪这种流动。)”可知,本段主要说明“重力模型”的缺点,它没有考虑到城市内部的旅行,会对处理疾病传播有影响。第五段“Understanding these patterns is important not only for planning the placement of new shopping centers or public transportation but also for modeling disease transmission within cities, says Kathleen Stewart, a geographer and mobility researcher. (地理学家和移动性研究员Kathleen Stewart说:“了解这些模式不仅对于规划新购物中心或公共交通的布局很重要,而且对于模拟城市内的疾病传播也很重要。”)”说明了平方反比原理的优点。故推知,作者在第六段中提到gravity models是为了展现重力模型的缺点及平方反比原理的优点,故选D。
34.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a smaller rural location, where many people regularly go to the same grocery store, the entire town will experience sharp peaks of infections as the virus sweeps through the community. But in a bigger city, the spread takes longer he explains, because mini epidemics can occur in each neighborhood somewhat separately. (在一个较小的农村地区,许多人经常去同一家杂货店,随着病毒席卷整个社区,整个城镇将经历急剧的感染高峰。他解释说:“但在一个更大的城市,传播需要更长的时间,因为小型流行病可以轻微地、单独地发生在每个社区。”)”可知,病毒在农村地区的传播速度比在大城市传播的速度快,故选A。

How Culture Affects Cuisine
It probably happened to you: You ate this incredible dessert in Turkey, you tried this fantastic dish in Spain, and you brought the recipe back home — just to feel the disappointment that what you cooked at home didn’t pass the taste test.
It’s likely that groceries have different qualities in different countries. In the case of the United States and Europe this has very little to do with soil or climate. ____35____ Consumers in the U.S. have other preferences in groceries than most Europeans. It comes down to culture.
Europeans often value quality more than quantity. Of course you will find out-of-season produce on the shelves of grocery stores as well. ___36___ Europeans especially are willing to give up short-term gain for a much greater long-term result.
Take, for example, Italians produce dry-cured ham (干腌火腿) only during the waning moon that follows the full moon and it is practiced to this day. According to old farmer’s lore, the meat could go bad, if it isn’t cured by the moon. ____37____
However, Americans believe in progress and the benefits of technology. It becomes clear why following tradition doesn’t have to be a strong value. Food for U.S. consumers is produced and shipped across the country. ____38____ The industrialization of food production results in new breeds of produce. The population growth calls for higher quantities. Farmers and growers are paid for the amount, not for the flavor.
____39____ European cultures are rather regional, and this means food traditions have remained undamaged in fairly small areas. Within these regions and communities people often shop locally from regional producers. And they shop more frequently than Americans. Europeans often go to the local market daily whereas millions of shoppers in the U.S. purchase one or two weeks’ supply of groceries in one single visit to the big box store.
All these consumer choices, based on cultural behaviors, have had a lasting impact on how our food is grown and what it tastes like.
A.Geography plays another role here.
B.Refrigeration makes it possible to store foods longer.
C.However, demand for better quality is greater in their countries.
D.This great interest in culinary (烹饪的) tradition is a cultural feature.
E.The main reason why produce tastes different here and there is choice.
F.Food provides the world with one of the only ways to universally communicate.
G.Often our culinary preferences have an effect on the vacation destinations we choose.
【答案】35.E 36.C 37.D 38.B 39.A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文化是如何影响菜品烹饪的。
35.【解析】根据后文“Consumers in the U.S. have other preferences in groceries than most Europeans.(与大多数欧洲人相比,美国消费者对货品有其他偏好)”中的“preferences”可知,美国人和欧洲人的选择不同,即E项“The main reason why produce tastes different here and there is choice.(各地制作出的口味不同的主要原因在于选择)”所表达的含义。故选E。
36.【解析】C项“However, demand for better quality is greater in their countries.(然而,他们国家对更好质量的需求更大)”中的“better quality”与前文“Europeans often value quality more than quantity.(欧洲人通常重视质量而不是数量)”中的“quality”呼应。故选C。
37.【解析】根据前文“According to old farmer’s lore, the meat could go bad, if it isn’t cured by the moon.(根据这位老农的传说,如果不在月光下腌制,肉可能会变质)”可知,D项“This great interest in culinary (烹饪的) tradition is a cultural feature.(这种对烹饪传统的浓厚兴趣是一种文化特征)”中的“tradition”呼应了“lore”,同时呼应了后文中的“tradition”。故选D。
38.【解析】根据后文“The industrialization of food production results in new breeds of produce.(食品生产的工业化激发了新的产物)”可知,B项“Refrigeration makes it possible to store foods longer.(冷藏设备使得食物储存时间变长成为可能)”中的“Refrigeration”就是基于食品生产工业化的新产物。故选B。
39.【解析】后文“European cultures are rather regional(欧洲文化是相当地域性的) ”中的“regional”呼应了A项“Geography plays another role here.(地理环境也起着作用)”中的“Geography”,说明地理也是一个影响因素。故选A。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)

Every year more of us try and reduce our impact on the planet. A refill shop, or zero waste shop, gives you a choice to go green.
Refill shops tend to be small, independent stores that sell non-packaged goods. Most of the time they will be dry ones like rice and nuts produced directly in the local sites, which means less carbon footprint from farm to plate. They can also be many other sustainable (可持续的) products, like refill cleaning products and soaps. Shoppers only need to bring containers they already own and refill them from larger containers in the store.
Refill and zero-waste shops are usually located in communities. Buying from within walking distance, clearly, is more sustainable and kinder to the planet, and your community. If you’re walking down the street to your local refill shop. then you’re doing great but if you’re driving hours away to find your closest shop, then the transport may cancel out any benefits of what you buy. Remember, it’s the whole process not just the end product.
Perhaps the most significant aspect of shopping at local refill shops is that they encourage us to think about our consumer habits. They make us pause and think about how we can make positive changes for the environment.

【答案】All the students, attention, please!
With the intention of protecting the environment, our school will launch a campaign themed“Going Green" this month.
We are expected to take an active part in it. Planting trees on the hill near our school is available at the weekend, which is apparently a way to make a greener environment. Moreover, it's suggested that we should travel to and from school by public transport or by bike instead of driving, which makes it possible for us to save energy. Of course, we are supposed to save water, paper and electricity in proper ways.
Hope all of us can participate actively. By doing these, not only can we make a greener world, but it can also make our school life more colorful. Please take action right away!
That's all. Thank you!
