For sports fans, nothing could be better than watching a live event on TV or at a sports field. But there’s nothing worse than that event being called off because of bad weather. Bad light, a water-logged court or too much heat can cause matches to be postponed. But according to the latest research, extreme weather might be disturbing the sporting calendar more than ever in the future.
In one sport, golf, major tournaments like The Open, are already predicted to be victims of our changing climate. In the UK, an organization called The Climate Coalition says that golf courses such as St Andrews could be under water by the end of the century if sea levels rise even slightly. It told the BBC that its research predicts "cancelled football matches, flooded cricket grounds and golf courses sinking into the sea."
The threat to sporting events from climate change has been further highlighted in a new report, officially approved and licensed by the Rapid Transition Alliance. Writing about this for the BBC, Matt McGrath says that "By 2050, it's estimated that almost one in four English football league grounds can expect flooding every year." This will mean fewer matches played, less opportunity to watch the beautiful game and reduced government taxation from ticket sales.
Cricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India, Australia and the West Indies. The report says that stadiums in Adelaide and Perth will see a 60% increase in days with temperatures over 40 degrees centigrade over the next decade.
Of course, we know that the solution lies with reducing our carbon footprint. We could travel less to attend sports events, and reduce our waste when we do go. But this latest report finds that sports leaders are generally failing to address the issue seriously. However, because sport is universally popular and can be very influential, maybe it should be players, teams and their sponsors as well as fans who should promote a wide low carbon message to help protect sporting fields—before it’s 'game over'.
4. What is the latest research above mainly concerned with?
A. the forbidden sporting events B. the influential climate change
C. the severe environmental pollution D. the rising sea level
5. What influence will the extreme weather have on the sports?
A. Football fans cannot afford the entrance fee.
B. Overheat will largely affect the cricket calendar.
C. The golf games will thoroughly disappear due to rising sea level.
D. Sports leaders will face bigger challenges to lead their teams to win.
6. What does the underlined part “the issue” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. the constant increase in sea level B. the fading popularity of sport events
C. the changing attitude of sponsors. D. the effective reduction of carbon footprint
7. The research is introduced to us mainly to ___________.
A. inform the readers of the worsening global climate change
B. require governments’ protection of sporting fields
C. promote awareness of low carbon life on sports
D. urge financial support from sponsors
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今气候变化已经响应到了体育领域，气候变化对体育赛事的威胁在一份新的报告中得到了进一步强调，这份报告得到了快速过渡联盟的正式批准和许可。文章列举了一些受到气候变化影响的体育项目，指出解决方案在于人们有效减少碳足迹。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But according to the latest research, extreme weather might be disturbing the sporting calendar more than ever in the future.(但根据最新研究，极端天气可能会比以往任何时候更多地扰乱体育日程)”以及第二段中“In one sport, golf, major tournaments like The Open, are already predicted to be victims of our changing climate.(有一项运动，高尔夫，像The Open这样的大型比赛，已经被预测为气候变化的受害者)”可知，最新研究主要涉及对体育产生重要影响的气候变化。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Cricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India, Australia and the West Indies.(随着印度、澳大利亚和西印度群岛等地气温上升，板球也面临着全球范围内的巨大挑战)”可知，高温将在很大程度上影响板球的比赛日程。故选B。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Of course, we know that the solution lies with reducing our carbon footprint. We could travel less to attend sports events, and reduce our waste when we do go.(当然，我们知道解决办法在于减少我们的碳足迹。我们可以减少去参加体育赛事的旅行，并在去的时候减少浪费)以及“But this latest report finds that sports leaders are generally failing to address”可知，but表示转折，说明虽然我们都知道解决办法在于减少碳足迹，但这份最新报告发现，体育领袖普遍没有认真对待有效减少碳足迹这个问题。故画线词指的是“有效减少碳足迹”。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, because sport is universally popular and can be very influential, maybe it should be players, teams and their sponsors as well as fans who should promote a wide low carbon message to help protect sporting fields—before it’s 'game over'.(然而，由于体育普遍流行，而且影响力很大，也许应该由运动员、球队及其赞助商和球迷来广泛宣传低碳信息，以便在“比赛结束”之前保护体育领域)”可推知，文章向读者介绍研究情况，主要是为了宣传体育方面低碳生活的意识。故选C。
C
“I had no intention to adopt a cat that day. I just liked being around animals. ” Miranda says. But when she saw Nala in her metal cage, “We made eye contact and I couldn’t resist (抗拒) her big blue eyes.” At that point, “Nala was so small. I asked the shelter if I could hold her. Once I had Nala in my arms, Nala looked up at me and licked (舔) my face.” And that was when she knew she had to take this kitty home.
Still, Miranda never imagined Nala would become an Insta-star. “I started Nala’s Instagram account in 2012 as a way to share photos with my close friends and family in Thailand,” she explained. The possibility of Nala gaining attention beyond that small group of people hadn’t occurred to her until it happened.
Miranda says, “Each time Nala’s photo was featured on Instagram’s popular page, her account would gain 1,000 new followers. ” From there, Nala’s popularity snowballed. Large nationwide brands messaged Miranda about hiring Nala to do ads. “This took us by surprise because we couldn’t believe that a big brand wanted to pay them to take photos with their products next to Nala”.
Nala started life out in a shelter, just waiting to be loved like many other animals that were abandoned. Today that dream has surely come true. Nala has over 4 million followers on Instagram, which earned her the title “Guinness World Records Most Popular Cat on Instagram.”
In addition to managing her Insta fame, Nala is being asked to test various cat food brands. More importantly, “Nala is our chance to share the love to help create a better life for other animals, so they can grow well and bring joy to the world like Nala has.”
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Visits to a shelter. B. Love at first sight.
C. Power of blue eyes. D. Duty to adopt cats.
9. Why did Miranda open Nala’s Instagram account?
A. To meet Nala’s needs. B. To assist Nala be a star.
C. To share Nala’s pictures. D. To attract public attention.
10. How did Miranda feel about Nala’s popularity?
A. Satisfied. B. Amazed.
C. Upset. D. Disappointed.
11. What does the underlined phrase “that dream” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Being eager to be loved.
B. Starting life in the shelter.
C. Gaining chances to earn money.
D. Being raised by Instagram fans.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一位喜爱小动物的女士Miranda收养的一只小猫娜娜，为了和朋友分享小猫的照片为其开通的网络账号，却意外的使这只小猫成为“网红”的事件。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容：“I had no intention to adopt a cat that day. I just liked being around animals.” Miranda says. But when she saw Nala in her metal cage, “We made eye contact and I couldn’t resist her big blue eyes.”At that point, “Nala was so small. I asked the shelter if I could hold her. Once I had Nala in my arms, Nala looked up at me and licked (舔) my face.” And that was when she knew she had to take this kitty home.（“那天我没打算收养一只猫。我只是喜欢和动物在一起。”米兰达说。但当她看到娜娜在她的金属笼子里时，“我们进行了眼神交流，我无法抗拒她蓝色的大眼睛。那时，“娜娜很小。”我问收容所能不能收留她。有一次我把娜娜抱在怀里，娜娜抬头看着我，舔我的脸。就在那时，她知道她必须把这只小猫带回家。）可知，本段主要讲述了作者第一次见到小猫娜娜的时的情景，第一次的眼神交流使作者喜欢上这只小猫并带回家收养。选项B. Love at first sight.（一见钟情。）概括了这段讲述，贴合本段主题。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第2句内容：“I started Nala’s Instagram account in 2012 as a way to share photos with my close friends and family in Thailand,” she explained.（她解释说:“2012年，我开通了娜娜的Instagram账号，与泰国的亲朋好友分享照片。”）可知，给娜娜开通网络账号是为了在泰国的好友分享它的照片。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第1句内容：Still, Miranda never imagined Nala would become an Insta-star.（尽管如此，米兰达从没想过娜娜会成为一个明星。）以及第三段第4句内容：“This took us by surprise because we couldn’t believe that a big brand wanted to pay them to take photos with their products next to Nala”.（“这让我们感到意外，因为我们无法相信一个大品牌愿意花钱请他们在娜娜旁边拍照。”）可知，对于娜娜如此受欢迎，米兰达是很吃惊的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线短语“that dream”所在句子，可知“that dream”应指代前一句提及的内容：Nala started life out in a shelter, just waiting to be loved like many other animals that were abandoned.（娜娜是在一家动物收容所开始她的生活的，就像许多其他被遗弃的动物一样，她只是等待着被爱。）中的“waiting to be loved”。故选A项。
D
For many of us, summertime means road trips to the beach or mountains, or at the very least some additional dust on the outside of our vehicle. The extra dirt leads us to do one of two things: wash our car in the driveway or head to the car wash. But which choice is better for the environment?
The main concerns with either choice are the amount of fresh water used and the types of chemicals used to get rid of the dirt. Both of these concerns can be closely monitored when washing the car at home, says Katy Gresh, spokeswoman for the Southwest Region of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. She advises car owners to keep a set amount of water in a container for the entire wash. “You don’t want to leave the water running or use more than you need for the job,” she says. But even following this piece of advice comes with an environmental risk: Washing your car in the driveway gets the dirty water into drains (下水道).
“Drains are not made for treating waste.” says John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather. Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash their car, Schombert says they are probably ineffective in breaking down grease(油脂)anyway.
The commercial car wash knows full well the rules regarding wastewater in drains. According to the International Carwash Association (ICA), professional car washes must use special water treatment systems. These processes not only keep the dirty water out of drains and regular water treatment systems, but also work to reduce water usage at commercial facilities.
As experts point out, cleaning our car at home can use 100 gallons of water. Compare that to self-service car washes, which allow you to use only about 17 or 18 gallons of water. And most full-service car washes average about 30 to 45 gallons of water per vehicle.
12. What does Katy suggest people do about washing cars?
A. Use soft toothbrushes. B. Save treated water.
C. Put aside some water. D. Avoid using chemicals.
13. What is Schombert’s attitude to washing cars at home?
A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. Rules of handling wastewater. B. Advantages of professional car washes.
C. Processes of getting rid of dirty water. D. Drawbacks of water treatment systems.
15. Which mehod of car washing consumes the least water?
A. The full-service car washes. B. Car washing in the driveway.
C. The self-service car washes. D. Car washing using natural soaps.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了一些有关洗车用水的建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“She advises car owners to keep a set amount of water in a container for the entire wash.”（她建议车主在整个洗车过程中，在容器里放一定量的水。）可知，她建议储备一些水。故选C项
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Schombert 所说的话“Drains are not made for treating waste. Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash their car, they are probably ineffective in breaking down grease(油脂)anyway.”（排水沟不是用来处理废物的。即使车主们用天然的肥皂洗车，它们也可能无法有效地分解油脂。）可推知，Schombert是反对在家洗车的。故选A项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“These processes not only keep the dirty water out of drains and regular water treatment systems, but also work to reduce water usage at commercial facilities.”（ 这些过程不仅可以防止污水进入下水道和常规的水处理系统，而且还可以减少商业设施的用水量。）以及整段内容可知，本段主要讲了“专业洗车的优势”。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As experts point out, cleaning our car at home can use 100 gallons of water. Compare that to self-service car washes, which allow you to use only about 17 or 18 gallons of water. And most full-service car washes average about 30 to 45 gallons of water per vehicle.”（ 正如专家指出的那样，在家里清洗汽车可以消耗100加仑的水。相比之下，自助洗车服务只允许你使用17到18加仑的水。大多数全方位服务的洗车场平均每辆车要消耗30到45加仑的水。）可知，自助洗车服务用水最少。故选C项。
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
Self-confidence refers to your belief in your skills, qualities, and ability to succeed. Having confidence in yourself is not only important to your health and well-being, it can also affect how you are perceived by others. However, not everyone feels confident in their abilities.____16____
Focus on Your Strengths
When you are in a situation where you want to appear confident, it can be helpful to focus on the skills and abilities you feel most confident about.____17____Then focus on highlighting or projecting that quality.
____18____
Positive self-talk, on the other hand, has been shown to be strongly associated with success. If you tend to engage in negative self-talk, start working on re-framing your thoughts to be more positive and optimistic. For example, you might work on reminding yourself that there are positive sides to every situation. Talking to yourself positively is a great way to boost your sense of self-efficacy so that you feel better able to succeed and deal with whatever you are facing.
Look for Inspiration
Looking to confident people you admire reading inspirational statements or repeating a motivating mantra can also be a way to boost your confidence when you need it. The key is to choose realistic role models or statements that reflect achievable goals.
Avoid Making Comparisons
While finding sources of positive inspiration can help you show confidence, it is important to avoid comparing yourself to other people unfavorably. You may make such comparisons whether you are looking at their performance, appearance or other qualities.____19____
Take on New Challenges
____20____Doing so, however, can actually increase your anxiety and lessen your faith in your abilities. Research has found that practicing the things you fear can help reduce anxiety and improve self-confidence.
A. Talk Yourself Up
B. Keep Yourself Relaxed
C. Choose something you know you are good at.
D. You can avoid being confident from time to time.
E. If so, it can possibly make you feel worse about yourself.
F. You might be happy to avoid the situations that leave you feeling less confident.
G. Fortunately, there are things you can do to show confidence in any situation.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种方法可以让你变得更加自信。
【16题详解】
根据前文“However, not everyone feels confident in their abilities.(然而，并不是每个人都对自己的能力充满信心。)”以及下文的内容可知，针对不自信的问题，空处引出下文内容，提出几点提升信心的建议，故选项G“Fortunately, there are things you can do to show confidence in any situation.(幸运的是，在任何情况下，你都可以做一些事情来显示你的自信。)” 承上启下，符合语意。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据小标题“Focus on Your Strength(专注你的优势)”以及后文“Then focus on highlighting or projecting that quality.(然后着重强调或突出这种品质。)”可知，后文是对空处的进一步说明，故选项C“Choose something you know you are good at.(选择一些你知道你擅长的东西)” 既是对小标题的体现，也衔接下文内容，符合语意。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Positive self-talk, on the other hand, has been shown to be strongly associated with success.(另一方面，积极的自我对话已经被证明与成功有着密切的联系。)”可知，此段落讲述的是积极的自我对话能够提升你的自信心，也能够让你走向成功。故A项“Talk Yourself Up(鼓励自己)”总结下文内容，符合语意。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“You may make such comparisons whether you are looking at their performance, appearance or other qualities.(你可能会做这样的比较，无论你是看他们的表现，外表还是其他品质。)”可知，将自己与他人作比较其实会影响你的自信心的，选项E中“so”指的是前文内容，故选项E“If so, it can possibly make you feel worse about yourself.(如果是这样，这可能会让你对自己感觉更糟。)”是对前文内容的进一步延伸，道出与他人作比较的不好影响。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Doing so, however, can actually increase your anxiety and lessen your faith in your abilities. Research has found that practicing the things you fear can help reduce anxiety and improve self-confidence.(然而，这样做实际上会增加你的焦虑，减少你对自己能力的信心。研究发现，练习你害怕的事情有助于减少焦虑，提高自信。)”可知，一个人如果处处避免那些他害怕的、不自信的事，他反而会更加焦虑，而练习去面对他害怕的事反而能提升他的信心，故选项F“You might be happy to avoid the situations that leave you feeling less confident.(你可能很乐意避免让你感到不自信的情况。)”引出下文内容，符合语意。故选F项。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)

There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “Tension is who you think you should be. ____30____ is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the ____31____ life we think we should have and ____32____ the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banner far away. It will be found in your own heart, soul and mind. It will be found when you____33____ that others love you just as you do.

【21题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：我感觉只有当我完成了一些事情时，我最终才会真正幸福。A forgot忘记；B. missed错过；C. overcame克服；D. accomplished完成。根据后文“certain things could I finally be happy in my life”以及句意可知，此处是指作者认为只有取得阶段性的成功，他才会幸福，故选D。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2020年东京奥运会上，中国的短跑运动员苏炳添成为晋级男子100米田径决赛的首位中国运动员，从而创造了历史。由空格前的介词by可知，该空格处应填写动名词形式becoming作宾语，故填becoming。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：苏炳添已经创造了田径这个项目9.83秒的亚洲纪录。record是可数名词，表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，Asian是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这也是中国运动员在世界大赛上取得的最好成绩。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词“Asian record of 9.83 seconds”是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。

考查非谓语动词。句意：对我来说，当时完成半决赛已经是一次突破了。It is adj. for sb to do sth为it作形式主语的固定句型，意为“做某事对某人来说是……的”，不定式是真正的主语，故填to complete。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：从苏炳添将亚洲男子100米短跑项目的纪录缩短至9.83秒那一刻起，苏炳添的巨大成功已经激励着更多中国运动员和青少年努力提升自己。由句中的since引导的从句可知，该处谓语动词应使用现在完成时，且主语为单数，与谓语动词构成主动关系，故填has inspired。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：从苏炳添将亚洲男子100米短跑项目的纪录缩短至9.83秒那一刻起，苏炳添的巨大成功会激励着更多中国运动员和青少年努力提升他们自己。根据句意可知，激励着更多中国运动员和青少年努力提升他们自己，故应使用反身代词作宾语，they的反身代词是themselves，故填themselves。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. I felt the string of the package softly and then, unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I tore it open. It was a bright, brand new laptop. I had scored straight as for my O level examination and this was my reward. I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about ‘chat rooms’, ‘instant messaging’ and ‘e-mailing’, all of which I knew nothing about. Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough. I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site. Soon I became attracted to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became addicted to Facebook and Twitter. I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be controlled entirely by the glowing screen before me. Whenever I was not glued to these social networking sites, I would be going through gossip or fashion websites.
As time passed, I realized that I was addicted to the Internet. During weekends, when I had more time on my hands, I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, refusing to come out and take part in family discussions. I preferred to stay connected to the people I made friends with on the Internet although I had never met them. Soon I was spending the whole hours of the morning surfing on the Internet. Sleep was reduced to small naps and my grades at school also began getting from bad to worse.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was about this time that my parents noticed my change.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then one day，my father took away my laptop.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 It was about this time that my parents noticed my change. They voiced their disapproval. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet. I was asked to slow down my usage of the Internet. Yet, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away, unable to end my chat sessions, and unable to concentrate on my lessons. I was desperate for just another click, just another look at my e-mail or message board.
Then one day, my father took away my laptop. I cried and objected but in vain. Dad had made up his mind. Over time, I realized that Dad and Mum had always wanted the best for me. That was when I decided to take the big step—to conquer my internet addiction. Quitting was harder than I had expected. But with dogged determination, I knew that I would be able to do it. I promised my parents that I would turn over a new leaf.
