第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Some are attracted to museums by the art and the culture — but if that isn’t enough, there is always the strange!
Cancún Underwater Museum
No need to hold your breath to see this one. The Cancún Underwater Museum is, as the name suggests, underwater. More than 500 sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interplay of art and nature. Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.
Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre
With great attention to detail, New Zealand built the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, which exhibits original aircraft from the First and Second World Wars. Some belong to film director Sir Peter Jackson, who helped create the set designs with his team. Anyone interested in the pioneers of aviation should pay a visit to the museum in Blenheim.
Tenement Museum
At New York’s Tenement Museum, visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the working class in the city from the 1860s through to the 1980s. The museum opened in 1992 and offers guided tours of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms, where costumed ‘residents’ enact the daily lives of the city’s newcomers and workers over the period — leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.
Cupnoodles Museum
The Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama, Japan, offers a treat: exhibits can be not only admired, but eaten. Visitors can work in the museum’s noodle workshop, refining creations with their favourite ingredients. While doing so, one can also learn the history of the ramen noodle, one of Japan’s most popular foods.
1. What is special about the Cancún Underwater Museum?
A. The strange name. B. The number of sculptures.
C. Works about art and nature. D. Ways of visiting it.
2. Which museum will attract visitors interested in hands-on activities?

B
Last year,Karen Wooldridge and his friend Laura Hogan had an idea: Take unsold flowers which will be thrown away and send them to old people.“We started working on our kitchen island, and we were really proud of sending flowers,“Wooldridge said. Soon, Hogan added,“We developed.”
Now, they send a thousand unsold bunches of flowers a month, with 150 volunteers working five days a week. Their organization,Bluebirds &. Blooms,is named after their childhood youth troupe(剧团)The Bluebirds.Their flowers brighten 30 communities—mostly homes for seniors who are losing their memories.
Vellie Larson has lost some of her memories, but her daughter Karen Schwartz was in the same Bluebirds troupe as Wooldridge and Hogan, and Larson taught them all music.“When they send flowers to her,”Schwartz said,“She’ll describe them to me and give me a flower report every day.”
“The flowers are also a hint that someone cares,”said Shery Hassan, the center’s director.“They’re sad, and just having such a simple thing as a bunch of flowers brightens their days,”Hassan said.“Families will come in, and they’ll say,’Oh who got you flowers?This is beautiful.’And it says’Thinking of you.’The seniors can just say,’Oh,somebody was thinking of me!’”
For Wooldridge,the act of kindness brings back great memories of her father,who had Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆).“I know he would have loved visits from these women，”Wooldridge said. And while some might find it difficult to work so closely with those fighting with memory loss, Hogan said,“It makes us happy. We’re doing something good.”
4. What idea did Wooldridge and Hogan have last year?
A. Making profits by recycling unsold flowers.
B. Turning unsold flowers into gifts for seniors.
C. Aiding seniors by selling flowers for a living.
D. Recovering lost memories by sending flowers.
5. What can we learn about Bluebirds &.Blooms?
A. It sends flowers on a day-to-day basis.
B. It is named after a best children’s drama.
C. It has grown into a national organization.
D. It mainly serves the old with memory loss.
6. What does the underlined word“hint”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Reminder. B. Commitment. C. Responsibility. D. Routine.
7. How do the flowers influence the receivers?
A. They promote family harmony.
B. They make their life worthwhile.
C. They cure them of their diseases.
D. They create a sense of well-being.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记述文。文章主要讲述了两位善良的人通过向老年人送花这个微小的举动传达了人间有大爱，阴郁的日子终将会过去，始终会有人关心着你。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“Last year,Karen Wooldridge and his friend Laura Hogan had an idea: Take unsold flowers which will be thrown away and send them to old people.(去年，凯伦·伍尔德里奇和他的朋友劳拉·霍根有了一个主意：把未售出的花拿走，然后把它们送给老人)”可知，Wooldridge和Hogan决定将没有卖出去的花送给老人作为礼物。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句话“Their organization,Bluebirds &. Blooms,is named after their childhood youth troupe(剧团)The Bluebirds.Their flowers brighten 30 communities—mostly homes for seniors who are losing their memories.(他们的组织Bluebirds &. Blooms是以他们儿时的青年剧团“蓝鸟”命名的。他们的花朵照亮了30个社区，其中大部分是失去记忆的老年人的家)”可知，Bluebirds&Blooms主要为失去记忆的老人送花。故选D。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句话““They’re sad, and just having such a simple thing as a bunch of flowers brightens their days,”Hassan said.(哈桑说：“他们很难过，只要有一束鲜花这样简单的东西，他们的日子就会变得明亮。”)”可知，他们很悲伤，仅仅是一束花这样简单的东西就能照亮他们的日子，说明鲜花也是一种提示，表示有人在关心他们。故划线的单词意为“提醒，提示”。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句话““The flowers are also a hint that someone cares,”said Shery Hassan, the center’s director.“They’re sad, and just having such a simple thing as a bunch of flowers brightens their days,”Hassan said.(中心主任谢丽尔·哈桑说：“这些花也暗示着有人在乎。”。哈桑说：“他们很难过，只要有一束鲜花这样简单的东西，他们的日子就会变得明亮。”)”可推知，这些花让老人们明白自己是被人关爱的，它们点亮了老人们阴郁的日子，让老人有幸福感。故选D。
C
Although we all experience failure in our lives, we don’t all react to it in the same way. An interesting research has emphasized the notion that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. These are people with a growth mindset. Then, there are other people who see failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had the talent anyway, and they probably never will. These are people with a fixed mindset.
Psychologist Dweck has studied these mindsets and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. The group to which you assign yourself frequently determines how you react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group.
According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him,“It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?”Edison answered,“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.”
In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature separating them from the non-creative is that they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.
8. What might people with a growth mindset agree with?
A. Challenges are welcomed.
B. Mistakes can be avoided.
C. Success is due to good luck.
D. Only talent leads to success.
9. What does the underlined phrase “a stepping stone” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A road to nowhere.
B. A challenge in the way.
C. An outcome to expect.
D. A chance to advance.
10. Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in paragraph 3?
A. To make a prediction.
B. To present a fact.
C. To support a viewpoint.
D. To clarify a principle.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How people interpret failure often determines their creative output.
B. Learning from success plays an important part in improving creativity.
C. Growth mindset people see challenges differently from fixed mindset ones.
D. Which group people put themselves in decides how they react to challenges.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章指出人们对失败的理解、态度会决定会影响到他们的创造性产出，相比轻言放弃的固定型思维的人，具有成长型思维的人用发展的眼光看待失败，更具有创造力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. (如果你经历过失败，并将其视为一次提升自己的机会，那么你已经将自己置于成长型群体中。)”，以及第三段第一句“According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. (根据研究，成长组的人往往比固定组的人产生更多的创造性想法。)”可知，对于成长性思维的人来说，失败只是一个垫脚石，从失败中他们能生成更多创新的点子，所以具有成长型思维的人愿意接受挑战，故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. (如果你经历了失败，放弃了，你就很方便地把自己分配到固定的群体。如果你经历过失败，并将其视为a stepping stone，那么你已经将自己置于成长型群体中。)”可知，固定型思维的人遇到失败就放弃，而与之相对的是，成长型思维的人把失败当作有帮助的，可以促进发展，可推知，划线短语a stepping stone和D项“A chance to advance. (一次提高的机会)”意思相近，故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. (根据研究，具有成长型思维的人往往比固定型思维组的人产生更多的创造性想法)”可知，这句话为段首核心观点。下文“To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him, ‘It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?’ Edison answered, ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.’ (为了说明这一点，以托马斯·爱迪生为例。在19世纪，爱迪生试图改进灯泡，并试验了许多材料。经过一千多次试验，他终于发现了一种维持光的元素。一位记者曾经问他：‘你似乎已经尝试了很多次，但每次都失败了。为什么呢？’爱迪生回答说：‘我没有失败。我发现了一万种行不通的方法。’)”可知，此处为典型举例表述，结合其内容可知，作者提到爱迪生是以其为例来支撑本段首句提出的观点。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，本文第一、二段主要介绍了具有成长型思维的人和具有固定型思维的人对待失败的截然不同的态度和反应；第三、四段论证了具有成长型思维的人，善于用发展的眼光看待失败，相比轻言放弃的固定型思维的人，更具有创造力，可本文的大意为：对失败的理解、态度会决定会影响到他们的创造性产出。故选A项。
D
Radiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (伪造的) paintings in France — probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years.
The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. If there is a chance that a painting is genuine — and therefore valuable — they don’t want the collection of larger samples to damage it.
All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what’s left to estimate the time that’s passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy.
Atomic-bomb (原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck’s team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14.
The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time.
12. What does the underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Impressive. B. Acceptable. C. Expensive. D. Difficult.
13. How does radiocarbon dating work?
A. By analyzing samples from artwork.
B. By removing the smaller samples.
C. By measuring the carbon-14 left.
D. By testing the carbon in the sample.
14. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4?
A. It produces more carbon-14.
B. It helps identify fake paintings.
C. it reduces carbon concentration.
D. It has been stopped completely.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Paintings waiting to be identified
B. Two fake paintings found in France
C. New technology in painting becomes a hit
D. Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了放射性碳测年法在画作防伪上的应用，工作原理。但是原子弹测试也会产生碳-14，会影响检测精度。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“If there is a chance that a painting is genuine — and therefore valuable — they don’t want the collection of larger samples to damage it.(如果一幅画有可能是真实的，因此很有价值，他们不希望收集更大的样本会损坏它)”可知，推知划线词所在句子意为“从艺术品中去除较小的样本正变得越来越适合博物馆和绘画所有者”。由此可知，划线词palatable与acceptable“认同的，认可的”意思接近。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what’s left to estimate the time that’s passed.(所有生物都从大气和食物中吸收碳，包括放射性碳-14。当通常用于制作油画布的植物死亡时，其中所含的碳-14会继续脱落。放射性碳测年法测量剩余的时间来估计经过的时间)”可知，放射性碳测年是通过测量剩余的碳-14来估算经过的时间的。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Atomic-bomb (原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere. (原子弹测试始于1940年代，并于1950年代起飞，迅速增加了大气中碳-l4的含量)”可知，原子弹测试产生了大量的碳-14。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Radiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (伪造的) paintings in France — probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. (放射性碳测年法在法国发现了两幅伪造的画作，这可能是该技术首次用于警方调查。这些画据说是二十世纪初左右的作品)”可知，文章主要讲述的内容是放射性碳测年法在画作防伪上的应用。由此可知，Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper(放射性碳约会证明是一个反假助手)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了都江堰建造的原因和它的结构。
36题详解】
考查介词。句意：都江堰最初由秦国在公元前256年左右建造，作为灌溉和防洪系统，是古代工程技术的杰出典范，至今仍在使用。根据句意可知，此处表达“作为灌溉和防洪系统”之意，应填介词as意为“作为”符合题意。故填as。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：战国时期，岷江沿岸的居民深受洪水之苦。分析句子结构可知，本句是who引导的定语从句，主句中缺少谓语，所以trouble作主句的谓语动词，根据空后的by表“被”之意可知，此处应该用被动语态，根据时间状语During the Warring States Period，可知应该用一般过去时，主语是people，为集体名词，此处表复数。故填were troubled。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：灌溉工程师李冰深入调查了这个问题。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空前的动词investigated，应该用副词修饰，thorough的副词形式是thoroughly。故填thoroughly。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然后他们在玉雷山上开了一条通道，让水流过。分析句子结构可知，channel意为“渠道”，为可数名词，句中用的单数，前应该用不定代词修饰，channel为辅音音素开头，应该用a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：系统建成后，再也没有发生洪水。分析句子结构可知，本句是after引导的是时间状语从句，主句缺少谓语动词，所以occur做主句谓语，描述的是过去发生的事，用一般过去时。故填occurred。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：更重要的是，它使四川成为中国最多产的农业地区之一，因为从岷江引水可以用于灌溉。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词agricultural，所以空处应填名词，region意为“区域”为可数名词，根据空前的one of可知，此处应该用复数形式。故填regions。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：如果你去都江堰，你会看到一个看起来像鱼嘴的不寻常的建筑。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是construction，在从句中作主语，应该用which或者that引导。故填which或者that。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个著名的景点，鱼嘴，连同另外两个重要的部分，即飞沙岩和宝坪口，经过科学的设计，以控制全年的水流。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词famous，所以空处应填名词，attract的名词形式是attraction，结合Yuzui可知用单数即可。故填attraction。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这个著名的景点，鱼嘴，连同另外两个重要的部分，即飞沙岩和宝坪口，经过科学的设计，以控制全年的水流。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：be designed to意为“目的是”。故填to control。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：都江堰被联合国教科文组织认定为世界遗产，2000多年来，都江堰一直在灌溉农田，同时预防洪水。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词has irrigated，所以recognize应用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是Dujiangyan，两者间是被动关系，应该用过去分词作状语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Recognized。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Price of a Miracle
Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly operation could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to lend them the money. She heard Dad say to her tearful mom with desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and poured all the change she had saved out on the floor and counted it carefully:47 cents. She slipped out of home and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Finally, she took a quarter from her pocket and banged it on the glass counter. That did it ! “And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago Medical University whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.” Tess answered with a blind faith.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
“I just know he’s really sick and Mom says he needs an operation. But my dad can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The operation was completed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “47 cents!” Tess replied without any hesitation. To her surprise, the man said that he was a doctor and that it was a fair price for a miracle. Overcome with excitement, Tess grasped his hand, leading him to her home. With doubt and hope, Dad and Mom had Andrew checked by the man, who declared that he would perform an operation on the boy and promised it wouldn’t be long before he could pick himself up. Hearing his words, the whole family burst into tears of joy.
The operation was completed. Hardly had Andrew been sent back home when his parents went to thank the doctor with Tess, for they knew that 47 cents was a joke for an operation. They promised to save enough money to pay for the bill only to be told that Tess had paid for it. “It’s a fair deal,” the doctor explained to the parents，and then looked into Tess’s eyes, smiling, “47 cents was what it cost—plus the faith of a little girl.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了八岁的小女孩Tess听到爸爸妈妈谈论她的弟弟，得知弟弟得了重病，需要动手术，但是家里没有钱。听到爸妈说“只有奇迹才能救他”时，她拿了自己的零花钱去药店买“奇迹”，幸运地遇到了能做手术的医生，医生真地给了她们家一个“奇迹”，为她弟弟做了手术的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“‘你有多少钱？’那个从芝加哥来的人问。”可知，第一段可描写医生和Tess之间的对话，并想要帮助她。
②由第二段首句内容“手术完成。”可知，第二段可描写Tess一家人对医生的感谢。
