【原文】Hi, my dear fellow workers.I’ve lived in China for two years, but most of you know that I’m from Portugal. Today is a holiday known as Carnival, which is an incredible celebration in my country. This holiday is most famous for its all-night parties, festive dances, and parades in Brazil, and this is partly because Portugal and Brazil share cultural similarities. In the past, Portugal occupied the land of Brazil and sent over millions of people. Today, Portuguese is the national language of Brazil, but that’s not the only country that shares our language. Five countries in Africa natively speak Portuguese, as well. Being one of the oldest countries in Europe, our cities feel like you’re walking into a time machine. You can see beautiful ancient architecture in our capital, Lisbon, and you can even find the oldest bookstore in the world. You can also hear a traditional Portuguese music genre called Fado. I think it is one of the most amazing things about my country and its performance is really worth watching. North of the cities, you will find yourself in rolling hills and forest. This is, what I’d consider, the best travel destination in all of Europe. I love my life here in Shenzhen, but I do miss my home sometimes. It’ll be around five years before I move home, but let’s celebrate Carnival in Shenzhen today. I can’t wait to cook you some Portuguese food and teach you about my culture.

As mountains go, 1,642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t quite impressive. But its inviting views of western Massachusetts have misled hikers to become relaxed among its steep, slippery cliffs (悬 崖),resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.
Henry Grant aged 18, a freshman at Ithaca College, respected Squaw Peak’s record. Because of this, he stayed a good ten feet from the edge. He watched 15 or so other hikers enjoying the view; one hiker, around 60 and dressed in pink, was looking over the edge of the cliff with her husband.
After having a rest, Grant turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, a man yelled anxiously, “Paula! Paula!” Grant turned around. The woman in pink had fallen off the side of the mountain.
Several hikers immediately started looking for her. Grant decided to lend a hand, so he travelled off the trail alone. After 15 minutes of climbing over stones and pushing through the bushes, Grant spotted a figure about 25 feet above him. She was trapped in a kneeling position on a small rocky extension. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Amazingly, she was alive.
Grant called 911. He waited where he was for a while, but she kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more. Afraid that she might fall off the extension to her death. Grant crawled on all fours until he reached Paula.
Securing himself against a tree, Grant gently put her hand in his and tried to keep her mind off the pain by asking her some questions: “Where are you from? What do you do for a living? Do you have kids?”
About 45 minutes later, first rescuers arrived. Eventually, Paula and her husband were flown by helicopter to a hospital.
Paula, who has fully recovered, said, “At 18, Henry has already been involved in building the rest of my life.”
24. What record does Squaw Peak have?
A. Its height looks very forbidding. B. It attracts the most tourists.
C. It has the view of western America. D. Many hikers dropped or died there.
25. What made Grant worried about Paula?
A. Her serious injuries. B. Her constant movement.
C. Her loss of various senses. D. Her response to nothing.
26. Why did Grant ask Paula some questions?
A. To reduce her feeling of pain. B. To remove her sense of fear.
C. To keep her awake all the time. D. To get her detailed information.
27. What does Paula want to express in the last paragraph?
A. Satisfaction. B. Gratitude.
C. Curiosity. D. Surprise.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B

As a classic love movie of the twentieth century, Titanic makes one scene a long-lasting cinematic shot: Jack let go of his hand and sank in the icy seawater, leaving the chance of living to his lover Rose, who finally survived on a wooden door debris (残骸).
More than 100 years since the disastrous event and more than two decades after the earliest release of the movie Titanic, there have been many “door theories”. Audiences debate heatedly over whether or not Jack and Rose could have both fit onto the wooden debris and survived. So, was there room for Jack?
In a TV program, hosts Jamie and Adam even did an experiment using an exact replica (复制品) of the wooden piece from the movie, and the two proved that if they had tied Rose’s life jacket to the bottom of the door to strengthen its buoyancy ( 浮 力 ), they would have managed to stay afloat.
However, their conclusion was debunked when director Cameron said that the freezing water and Jack’s high temperature would have made the life jacket solution impossible. He also said that the debate is beyond the point the movie was trying to make, which is focused on the tragic love story of Jack and Rose, not physics.
The largest debris recovered from the real Titanic is now displayed in the Maritime Museum. The museum’s website states that a replica was once built for the movie based on the museum’s Titanic collection which was known as the “door” used in the death scene. Unfortunately, the size of the debris coupled with the weight of Rose on top could work, but not if Jack’s additional weight was added to it.
In a word, science has proven that Jack didn’t die for nothing and did indeed sacrifice himself to save the love of his life.
28. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To lead into the topic. B. To introduce a movie. C. To raise a question. D. To highlight characters.
29. What is the conclusion of Jamie and Adam based on?
A. The development of the plot. B. A physics experiment. C. The theme of the movie. D. A heated debate.
30. What does the underlined word “debunked” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Confirmed. B. Opposed. C. Approved. D. Concerned.
31. We can infer that the movie’s ending is .
A. unrealistic B. confusing C. reasonable D. surprising
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电影《泰坦尼克号》最早上映20多年后，出现了许多“门理论”，认为杰克可以活下来，而科学已经证明电影的结局是合理的。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As a classic love movie of the twentieth century, Titanic makes one scene a long-lasting cinematic shot: Jack let go of his hand and sank in the icy seawater, leaving the chance of living to his lover Rose, who finally survived on a wooden door debris (残骸).(《泰坦尼克号》是一部20世纪的经典爱情电影，其中的一个场景是一个持久的电影镜头：杰克松开手，沉入冰冷的海水中，给他的爱人罗斯留下了生存的机会，罗斯最终在木门残骸上幸存下来。)”及下文对此场景的讨论可推断，本段的目的是引出话题。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In a TV program, hosts Jamie and Adam even did an experiment using an exact replica (复制品) of the wooden piece from the movie, and the two proved that if they had tied Rose’s life jacket to the bottom of the door to strengthen its buoyancy ( 浮 力 ), they would have managed to stay afloat. (在一个电视节目，主持人杰米和亚当甚至做了一个实验用的一个木制的复制品的电影，和两个证明，如果他们把罗斯的救生衣绑在门的底部以加强它的浮力，他们会设法保持漂浮。)”可知，杰米和亚当的结论是基于他们所做的物理实验。故选B。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后半句“when director Cameron said that the freezing water and Jack’s high temperature would have made the life jacket solution impossible. (因为卡梅隆导演说冰冻的水和杰克的高温不可能让救生衣解决问题。)”可知，杰米和亚当的结论被推翻了。所以debunked为“ 揭穿真相，暴露，推翻”之意。oppose“反对”是近义词，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Unfortunately, the size of the debris coupled with the weight of Rose on top could work, but not if Jack’s additional weight was added to it. (不幸的是，碎片的大小加上罗斯在上面的重量可能会起作用，但如果加上杰克的额外重量就不行了。)”可推断，这部电影的结局合理的。故选C。
D
For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be essential. Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil.
The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future, longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform,” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned.
To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped.
For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that simulate Martian soils. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew. However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.
Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to Dr. Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place”, he said. How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies.
32. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of the findings.
B. The plants grown in the lunar soil.
C. The missions of future space exploration.
D. The hope for setting up a lunar settlement.
33. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment?
A. Its genes are suitable for lunar soil.
B. It has a long evolutionary history.
C. It has been tested with lunar soil before.
D. People have a good knowledge of its genes.
34. What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soi1?
A. They absorbed few nutrients.
B. They didn’t grow well enough.
C. They grew slowly in the dark.
D. They needed more water to grow bigger.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil
B. Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil
C. Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon
D. Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家在月球土壤中种植植物的研究过程。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二自然段“The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. (这一发现使人们希望，在未来的太空任务中，植物可以在月球上生长，甚至使人类能够在月球上建立定居点。)”可知，本段主要介绍这项研究结果的意义。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三自然段“The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped. (研究人员选择使用水芹，因为它的基因密码已经被完全绘制出来。)”可知，研究人员之所以选择水芹，是因为人们对它的基因很了解。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四自然段“Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size. (在月球土壤中生长的一些植物较小，而另一些植物生长得更慢或大小变化更大。)”可知，研究人员对月球土壤中生长的植物发现了它们长得不够好。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一自然段“Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil. (现在，科学家们已经朝着在月球表面种植植物迈出了“一小步”，因为他们证明了在月球土壤中种植小水芹的可能性。)”可知，纵观全文，本文主要讲述了科学家在月球土壤中种植水芹的研究过程。所以短文的标题为“科学家在月球土壤中种植植物”。故选A项。

So often we find ourselves on autopilot—waking up in the same home, putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same-old job.____36____And while it’s perfectly natural for humans to stick to routine, there’s much to be discovered beyond the limits of our comfort zones.
There is no exception to a man aged 53.____37____He knew it was going to be hard to find another job. He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant. But he was too old to compete with the young and too weak to do any labor work.

【答案】36. D 37. G 38. F 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。虽然对人类来说，循规蹈矩是再自然不过的事情，但在我们的舒适区之外，还有很多东西有待发现。文章主要记叙了53岁被迫下岗的Brian Mockenhaupt选择做出改变，在家人的支持下，开始经营一家咖啡馆的故事。
【36题详解】
根据上文So often we find ourselves on autopilot—waking up in the same home, putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same-old job.可知所以，我们经常发现自己处于自动驾驶状态——在同一个家里醒来，穿上同样的衣服，乘坐同样的交通工具去做同样的工作。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，人们总是在重复相同的事情，所以做出改变的决定往往变得很难实现。故D选项“即使我们在新年做出改变的决定也很难实现”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据后文He knew it was going to be hard to find another job.可知他知道再找一份工作会很困难。由此可知，本句应当是在说明某一个人下岗失去了工作的事情，结合下一段中Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.( Mockenhaupt太太也积极鼓励他向前看，认为这是他们俩人开创自己事业的绝佳机会，有足够的时间，没有孩子的打扰)可知这个人就是Brian Mockenhaupt。故G选项“Brian Mockenhaupt从一个高级管理职位上下岗了”符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
根据后文He didn’t want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself. Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.可知他不想让自己的下半生无所事事地可怜自己。Mockenhaupt太太也积极鼓励他继续生活，认为这是他们俩人开创自己事业的绝佳机会，有足够的时间，没有孩子的打扰。由此可知，Brian Mockenhaupt决定做出一些改变，因为他不想让自己的下半生无所事事地可怜自己。故F选项“经过几个星期的考虑，他决定改变一下”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
根据后文Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).可知Brian在离他家8个街区的地方找到了他想要的东西——一家现有的咖啡馆，该咖啡馆的业绩不佳，其老板想要解除租约。由此可知，上一段提到Brian想要改变一下，后文提到有一家咖啡馆想要解除租约，说明Brian改变的机会来了。故A选项“机会来了”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).(Brian在离他家8个街区的地方找到了他想要的东西——一家现有的咖啡馆，该咖啡馆的业绩不佳，其老板想要解除租约)以及后文But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this day. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives.(但问题是，他从来没有为这一天做过财务计划。他不得不向亲戚朋友借钱)由此可知，离家不远就有咖啡馆可以接手，这正是渴望改变的Brian所需要的的。后文他向亲戚朋友借钱也说明他想要租下咖啡馆。故C选项“这正是Brian所需要的”符合语境，故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Arshad had been out window shopping with his parents. That was all they did these days because they didn’t have enough money to afford all the shiny clothes, shoes and other fancy items the windows displayed. Even from a distance, they looked so promising and inviting that one couldn’t help but go over and look at them.
Ever since Arshad’s father lost his business, Arshad’s family barely had the money to make ends meet. They even had to move to a rented house, which was smaller and was situated in the shabbier part of the city. Unlike his previous house, where he had a big luxurious room all to himself, here Arshad had to share his room and bed with his naughty younger brother who always had the room in a horrible mess.
What was worse, the playground in this neighborhood was nothing like the one in his previous neighborhood’s; swings were all broken and the seesaw(跷跷板) only had one seat. There weren’t even any bookshops nearby where he could spend his free time.
That day, Arshad and his brother were terribly bored when their father decided to take them outfor window shopping. When his father saw the sad look on Arshad’s face, he sat down next to him and said, “Remember, there are children out there who don’t even have the things you do, like warm clothes, a roof over their heads, good education and all the delicious meals that your mother prepares for you, three times a day. You should always be grateful for what you have.”
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。
Arshad remembered how he always complained about the swings in his playground.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thinking of the happy children in that school, Arshad decided to do something.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Arshad remembered how he always complained about the swings in his playground. He felt a rush of guilt. At least he had a playground! Despite all these things, Arshad noticed how happy and satisfied all the children were. How they played and laughed, with not a single frowning face or a complaining voice. On their way back from the school, Arshad’s father said, “This is what I was talking about.”
Thinking of the happy children in that school, Arshad decided to do something. He prepared a gratitude list, jotting down all the things he was thankful for. Then he pulled out an empty cardboard box and put in all the things that he thought the children in that school might need--coloring books, toys and other such goods. When his mother asked about the box, he told her how he planned to donate these things. “I am sharing happiness,” he told his mother, his face beaming.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在爸爸生意失败之后，Arshad失去了过去以前所拥有的一切，并且时常抱怨生活不如意。但是Arshad的爸爸告诉他，生活要学会感恩，要感谢周围的一切。后来Arshad到一所公立中学读书，即使设施很差，里面的孩子们依然很开心，此时Arshad决定感恩所拥有的一切。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Arshad记得他总是抱怨操场上秋千。”可知，第一段可具体描Arshad看见孩子们在操场上快乐地玩耍后的内心感受并理解了父亲所说的话。
②由第二段首句内容“想到那所学校里快乐的孩子们，Arshad决定做点什么。”可知，第二段可描写Arshad为孩子们捐赠的东西，并且学会了分享快乐。
2.续写线索：抱怨秋千——看见孩子们的快乐——理解感恩——开始感恩——分享物品——得到快乐
3.词类激活
行为类
①认为：think/suppose
②询问：ask/inquire
③准备：prepare/make preparations for
情感类
①高兴的：happy/delighted
②满意的：satisfied/approving
【点睛】[高分句型1] This is what I was talking about.(运用了what引导的表语从句)
[高分句型2] He prepared a gratitude list, jotting down all the things he was thankful for.(运用了现在分词作状语)

M: You’re a photographer? You must make a lot of money. Of course, you can afford it.
W: No, actually I’m an amateur model, and I’m on a tight budget. Besides, I don’t even think this is a real Moncler jacket.
M: It isn’t authentic, but it is of identical quality. At a mall, it will cost you ten times this price, and in this market, you won’t find it for less than $100.
W: If you can offer me a $10 discount, I’ll buy it now.
M: Deal.

【原文】Hi, my dear fellow workers.I’ve lived in China for two years, but most of you know that I’m from Portugal. Today is a holiday known as Carnival, which is an incredible celebration in my country. This holiday is most famous for its all-night parties, festive dances, and parades in Brazil, and this is partly because Portugal and Brazil share cultural similarities. In the past, Portugal occupied the land of Brazil and sent over millions of people. Today, Portuguese is the national language of Brazil, but that’s not the only country that shares our language. Five countries in Africa natively speak Portuguese, as well. Being one of the oldest countries in Europe, our cities feel like you’re walking into a time machine. You can see beautiful ancient architecture in our capital, Lisbon, and you can even find the oldest bookstore in the world. You can also hear a traditional Portuguese music genre called Fado. I think it is one of the most amazing things about my country and its performance is really worth watching. North of the cities, you will find yourself in rolling hills and forest. This is, what I’d consider, the best travel destination in all of Europe. I love my life here in Shenzhen, but I do miss my home sometimes. It’ll be around five years before I move home, but let’s celebrate Carnival in Shenzhen today. I can’t wait to cook you some Portuguese food and teach you about my culture.

As mountains go, 1,642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t quite impressive. But its inviting views of western Massachusetts have misled hikers to become relaxed among its steep, slippery cliffs (悬 崖),resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.
Henry Grant aged 18, a freshman at Ithaca College, respected Squaw Peak’s record. Because of this, he stayed a good ten feet from the edge. He watched 15 or so other hikers enjoying the view; one hiker, around 60 and dressed in pink, was looking over the edge of the cliff with her husband.
After having a rest, Grant turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, a man yelled anxiously, “Paula! Paula!” Grant turned around. The woman in pink had fallen off the side of the mountain.
Several hikers immediately started looking for her. Grant decided to lend a hand, so he travelled off the trail alone. After 15 minutes of climbing over stones and pushing through the bushes, Grant spotted a figure about 25 feet above him. She was trapped in a kneeling position on a small rocky extension. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Amazingly, she was alive.
Grant called 911. He waited where he was for a while, but she kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more. Afraid that she might fall off the extension to her death. Grant crawled on all fours until he reached Paula.
Securing himself against a tree, Grant gently put her hand in his and tried to keep her mind off the pain by asking her some questions: “Where are you from? What do you do for a living? Do you have kids?”
About 45 minutes later, first rescuers arrived. Eventually, Paula and her husband were flown by helicopter to a hospital.
Paula, who has fully recovered, said, “At 18, Henry has already been involved in building the rest of my life.”
24. What record does Squaw Peak have?
A. Its height looks very forbidding. B. It attracts the most tourists.
C. It has the view of western America. D. Many hikers dropped or died there.
25. What made Grant worried about Paula?
A. Her serious injuries. B. Her constant movement.
C. Her loss of various senses. D. Her response to nothing.
26. Why did Grant ask Paula some questions?
A. To reduce her feeling of pain. B. To remove her sense of fear.
C. To keep her awake all the time. D. To get her detailed information.
27. What does Paula want to express in the last paragraph?

As a classic love movie of the twentieth century, Titanic makes one scene a long-lasting cinematic shot: Jack let go of his hand and sank in the icy seawater, leaving the chance of living to his lover Rose, who finally survived on a wooden door debris (残骸).
More than 100 years since the disastrous event and more than two decades after the earliest release of the movie Titanic, there have been many “door theories”. Audiences debate heatedly over whether or not Jack and Rose could have both fit onto the wooden debris and survived. So, was there room for Jack?
In a TV program, hosts Jamie and Adam even did an experiment using an exact replica (复制品) of the wooden piece from the movie, and the two proved that if they had tied Rose’s life jacket to the bottom of the door to strengthen its buoyancy ( 浮 力 ), they would have managed to stay afloat.
However, their conclusion was debunked when director Cameron said that the freezing water and Jack’s high temperature would have made the life jacket solution impossible. He also said that the debate is beyond the point the movie was trying to make, which is focused on the tragic love story of Jack and Rose, not physics.
The largest debris recovered from the real Titanic is now displayed in the Maritime Museum. The museum’s website states that a replica was once built for the movie based on the museum’s Titanic collection which was known as the “door” used in the death scene. Unfortunately, the size of the debris coupled with the weight of Rose on top could work, but not if Jack’s additional weight was added to it.
In a word, science has proven that Jack didn’t die for nothing and did indeed sacrifice himself to save the love of his life.
28. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To lead into the topic. B. To introduce a movie. C. To raise a question. D. To highlight characters.
29. What is the conclusion of Jamie and Adam based on?
A. The development of the plot. B. A physics experiment. C. The theme of the movie. D. A heated debate.
30. What does the underlined word “debunked” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Confirmed. B. Opposed. C. Approved. D. Concerned.
31. We can infer that the movie’s ending is .
A. unrealistic B. confusing C. reasonable D. surprising
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电影《泰坦尼克号》最早上映20多年后，出现了许多“门理论”，认为杰克可以活下来，而科学已经证明电影的结局是合理的。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As a classic love movie of the twentieth century, Titanic makes one scene a long-lasting cinematic shot: Jack let go of his hand and sank in the icy seawater, leaving the chance of living to his lover Rose, who finally survived on a wooden door debris (残骸).(《泰坦尼克号》是一部20世纪的经典爱情电影，其中的一个场景是一个持久的电影镜头：杰克松开手，沉入冰冷的海水中，给他的爱人罗斯留下了生存的机会，罗斯最终在木门残骸上幸存下来。)”及下文对此场景的讨论可推断，本段的目的是引出话题。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In a TV program, hosts Jamie and Adam even did an experiment using an exact replica (复制品) of the wooden piece from the movie, and the two proved that if they had tied Rose’s life jacket to the bottom of the door to strengthen its buoyancy ( 浮 力 ), they would have managed to stay afloat. (在一个电视节目，主持人杰米和亚当甚至做了一个实验用的一个木制的复制品的电影，和两个证明，如果他们把罗斯的救生衣绑在门的底部以加强它的浮力，他们会设法保持漂浮。)”可知，杰米和亚当的结论是基于他们所做的物理实验。故选B。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后半句“when director Cameron said that the freezing water and Jack’s high temperature would have made the life jacket solution impossible. (因为卡梅隆导演说冰冻的水和杰克的高温不可能让救生衣解决问题。)”可知，杰米和亚当的结论被推翻了。所以debunked为“ 揭穿真相，暴露，推翻”之意。oppose“反对”是近义词，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Unfortunately, the size of the debris coupled with the weight of Rose on top could work, but not if Jack’s additional weight was added to it. (不幸的是，碎片的大小加上罗斯在上面的重量可能会起作用，但如果加上杰克的额外重量就不行了。)”可推断，这部电影的结局合理的。故选C。
D
For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be essential. Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil.
The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future, longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform,” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned.
To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped.
For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that simulate Martian soils. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew. However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.
Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to Dr. Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place”, he said. How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies.
32. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of the findings.
B. The plants grown in the lunar soil.
C. The missions of future space exploration.
D. The hope for setting up a lunar settlement.
33. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment?
A. Its genes are suitable for lunar soil.
B. It has a long evolutionary history.
C. It has been tested with lunar soil before.
D. People have a good knowledge of its genes.
34. What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soi1?
A. They absorbed few nutrients.
B. They didn’t grow well enough.
C. They grew slowly in the dark.
D. They needed more water to grow bigger.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil
B. Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil
C. Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon
D. Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家在月球土壤中种植植物的研究过程。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二自然段“The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. (这一发现使人们希望，在未来的太空任务中，植物可以在月球上生长，甚至使人类能够在月球上建立定居点。)”可知，本段主要介绍这项研究结果的意义。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三自然段“The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped. (研究人员选择使用水芹，因为它的基因密码已经被完全绘制出来。)”可知，研究人员之所以选择水芹，是因为人们对它的基因很了解。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四自然段“Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size. (在月球土壤中生长的一些植物较小，而另一些植物生长得更慢或大小变化更大。)”可知，研究人员对月球土壤中生长的植物发现了它们长得不够好。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一自然段“Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil. (现在，科学家们已经朝着在月球表面种植植物迈出了“一小步”，因为他们证明了在月球土壤中种植小水芹的可能性。)”可知，纵观全文，本文主要讲述了科学家在月球土壤中种植水芹的研究过程。所以短文的标题为“科学家在月球土壤中种植植物”。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据下面短文，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。
So often we find ourselves on autopilot—waking up in the same home, putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same-old job.____36____And while it’s perfectly natural for humans to stick to routine, there’s much to be discovered beyond the limits of our comfort zones.
There is no exception to a man aged 53.____37____He knew it was going to be hard to find another job. He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant. But he was too old to compete with the young and too weak to do any labor work.
____38____He didn’t want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself. Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.
____39____Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).____40____But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this day. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives. After that, he changed the name to Black Dog Coffee, and made it alive again. Eighteen years later, they’re still there and doing better than ever. Brian says he’s extremely grateful for the decision to make a change.
A. Then came the opportunity.
B. The thought filled him with anxiety.
C. That was exactly what Brian needed.
D. Even our New Year’s decisions to change hardly make it.
E. With the support of his family, he took a job in the local cafe.
F. Several weeks after consideration, he decided to have a change.
G. Brian Mockenhaupt got laid off from a senior management position.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. F 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。虽然对人类来说，循规蹈矩是再自然不过的事情，但在我们的舒适区之外，还有很多东西有待发现。文章主要记叙了53岁被迫下岗的Brian Mockenhaupt选择做出改变，在家人的支持下，开始经营一家咖啡馆的故事。
【36题详解】
根据上文So often we find ourselves on autopilot—waking up in the same home, putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same-old job.可知所以，我们经常发现自己处于自动驾驶状态——在同一个家里醒来，穿上同样的衣服，乘坐同样的交通工具去做同样的工作。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，人们总是在重复相同的事情，所以做出改变的决定往往变得很难实现。故D选项“即使我们在新年做出改变的决定也很难实现”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据后文He knew it was going to be hard to find another job.可知他知道再找一份工作会很困难。由此可知，本句应当是在说明某一个人下岗失去了工作的事情，结合下一段中Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.( Mockenhaupt太太也积极鼓励他向前看，认为这是他们俩人开创自己事业的绝佳机会，有足够的时间，没有孩子的打扰)可知这个人就是Brian Mockenhaupt。故G选项“Brian Mockenhaupt从一个高级管理职位上下岗了”符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
根据后文He didn’t want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself. Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.可知他不想让自己的下半生无所事事地可怜自己。Mockenhaupt太太也积极鼓励他继续生活，认为这是他们俩人开创自己事业的绝佳机会，有足够的时间，没有孩子的打扰。由此可知，Brian Mockenhaupt决定做出一些改变，因为他不想让自己的下半生无所事事地可怜自己。故F选项“经过几个星期的考虑，他决定改变一下”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
根据后文Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).可知Brian在离他家8个街区的地方找到了他想要的东西——一家现有的咖啡馆，该咖啡馆的业绩不佳，其老板想要解除租约。由此可知，上一段提到Brian想要改变一下，后文提到有一家咖啡馆想要解除租约，说明Brian改变的机会来了。故A选项“机会来了”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).(Brian在离他家8个街区的地方找到了他想要的东西——一家现有的咖啡馆，该咖啡馆的业绩不佳，其老板想要解除租约)以及后文But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this day. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives.(但问题是，他从来没有为这一天做过财务计划。他不得不向亲戚朋友借钱)由此可知，离家不远就有咖啡馆可以接手，这正是渴望改变的Brian所需要的的。后文他向亲戚朋友借钱也说明他想要租下咖啡馆。故C选项“这正是Brian所需要的”符合语境，故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Arshad had been out window shopping with his parents. That was all they did these days because they didn’t have enough money to afford all the shiny clothes, shoes and other fancy items the windows displayed. Even from a distance, they looked so promising and inviting that one couldn’t help but go over and look at them.
Ever since Arshad’s father lost his business, Arshad’s family barely had the money to make ends meet. They even had to move to a rented house, which was smaller and was situated in the shabbier part of the city. Unlike his previous house, where he had a big luxurious room all to himself, here Arshad had to share his room and bed with his naughty younger brother who always had the room in a horrible mess.
What was worse, the playground in this neighborhood was nothing like the one in his previous neighborhood’s; swings were all broken and the seesaw(跷跷板) only had one seat. There weren’t even any bookshops nearby where he could spend his free time.
That day, Arshad and his brother were terribly bored when their father decided to take them outfor window shopping. When his father saw the sad look on Arshad’s face, he sat down next to him and said, “Remember, there are children out there who don’t even have the things you do, like warm clothes, a roof over their heads, good education and all the delicious meals that your mother prepares for you, three times a day. You should always be grateful for what you have.”
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。
Arshad remembered how he always complained about the swings in his playground.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thinking of the happy children in that school, Arshad decided to do something.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Arshad remembered how he always complained about the swings in his playground. He felt a rush of guilt. At least he had a playground! Despite all these things, Arshad noticed how happy and satisfied all the children were. How they played and laughed, with not a single frowning face or a complaining voice. On their way back from the school, Arshad’s father said, “This is what I was talking about.”
Thinking of the happy children in that school, Arshad decided to do something. He prepared a gratitude list, jotting down all the things he was thankful for. Then he pulled out an empty cardboard box and put in all the things that he thought the children in that school might need--coloring books, toys and other such goods. When his mother asked about the box, he told her how he planned to donate these things. “I am sharing happiness,” he told his mother, his face beaming.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在爸爸生意失败之后，Arshad失去了过去以前所拥有的一切，并且时常抱怨生活不如意。但是Arshad的爸爸告诉他，生活要学会感恩，要感谢周围的一切。后来Arshad到一所公立中学读书，即使设施很差，里面的孩子们依然很开心，此时Arshad决定感恩所拥有的一切。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Arshad记得他总是抱怨操场上秋千。”可知，第一段可具体描Arshad看见孩子们在操场上快乐地玩耍后的内心感受并理解了父亲所说的话。
②由第二段首句内容“想到那所学校里快乐的孩子们，Arshad决定做点什么。”可知，第二段可描写Arshad为孩子们捐赠的东西，并且学会了分享快乐。
2.续写线索：抱怨秋千——看见孩子们的快乐——理解感恩——开始感恩——分享物品——得到快乐
3.词类激活
行为类
①认为：think/suppose
②询问：ask/inquire
③准备：prepare/make preparations for
情感类
①高兴的：happy/delighted
②满意的：satisfied/approving
【点睛】[高分句型1] This is what I was talking about.(运用了what引导的表语从句)
[高分句型2] He prepared a gratitude list, jotting down all the things he was thankful for.(运用了现在分词作状语)
