Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.
I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.
This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator(朗读者) for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their authors. If it were authors’ own voice, their stories would touch me.
Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud—highlights so far have included Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.
Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, author of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.
So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!
Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a ‘ the’, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioral is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.
Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.
4．What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school?
A．The purpose of schooling. B．His love for reading aloud.
C．The power of encouragement. D．His talent for silent reading.
5．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?
A．He regrets being a TV host. B．He doesn’t like non-fiction at all.
C．He lacks working experience. D．He is aware of his disadvantages.
6．Why could the author get the job as a narrator?
A．Because he was specifically invited. B．Because he applied for it in person.
C．Because he read many bedtime stories. D．Because he had a big crowd of fans.
7．What does the author think of being a narrator?
A．Frightening but profitable. B．Rewarding but unsafe.
C．Demanding but enjoyable. D．Promising but unstable.

People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan researchers shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts.
For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3,376 people. Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well—only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers.
But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering. The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths.
Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive”.
8．What does the new study mainly find?
A．How we volunteer makes sense to others.
B．How often we volunteer makes a difference.
C．Whether we volunteer decides our well-being.
D．Why we volunteer has an impact on our health.
9．How did the researchers do the research?
A．By doing experiments. B．Through field research.
C．By analyzing statistics. D．Through group discussion.
10．Which of the following motives will probably contribute to a longer life?
A．To develop abilities. B．To help the poor people
C．To make more friends. D．To solve personal problems.
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Practical suggestions on the further studies.
B．A further explanation of the current findings.
C．A reasonable doubt about the research results.
D．Potential applications of the research methods.

Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans adjust climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations(高度)around smaller currents and eddies(漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation(外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total gamechanger,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.
12．What does the underlined expression “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．Technology. B．Climate. C．Oceans. D．Water.
13．What is the major mission of Swot satellite?
A．To identify when global warming is worsened.
B．To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2.
C．To study how oceans influence climate change.
D．To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being.
14．What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?
A．The high-definition computer. B．Advanced radar technology.
C．The three-dimensional image. D．An accurate map of elevations.
15．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．A Solution to Climate Change. B．A Breakthrough in Space Travel.
C．Successful Launch of Swot Satellite. D．First Global Water Survey from Space.

I feared going into my room after school. Every day it was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my private room. Today can be no different.
As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. Still, I wouldn’t believe. Yesterday, I discovered a chocolate cookie spread around the mouth of my angel statue. Its pink lips were covered in chocolate. Obviously, Callie had shared her cookie with my angel.
I looked around for my little sister, Callie, who had just turned three. I didn’t see her. As I checked the sitting room, I noticed it was pretty messy. There were toys all around. There were a few headless dolls, some blocks, the remains of a grape stuck into the carpet. I searched around and there she was, sitting on the sofa with the TV remote in her sticky hands. She looked up and saw me. A huge smile broke out on her face, and she laughed, clapping her hands. I was surprised that they didn’t stick together.
“Sissy (sister)!” She jumped off the sofa and ran to me, hugging my knees and almost tipping me over. “Hi, Callie,” I said, with the slightest smile. I ruffled (抚弄) her long thick hair, and some white crumbs (残渣) fell to the carpet. “Cheese, sissy”, Callie said, pointing at the crumbs that had settled onto the carpet. I found a strong smell of cheese from them. Had Callie focused on destroying only the sitting room? A voice raced across my mind. No way. Not my sister, the destroyer. Not my sister, the three-year-old terror. I turned around and started the scared climb to my room.
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。
I pushed the door open and saw a complete mess again!

(研究人员要求人们对他们发现的各种志愿服务理由的重要程度进行评估，他们发现，人们对诸如同情需要帮助的人等这样的原因评价越重要，他们活更久的可能性就越大)”可知，出于同情那些需要帮助的人而做志愿活动，这有助于长寿，由此可推知，帮助那些穷人可能有助于长寿，故选B。
11．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive”.(Konrath说，目前的研究结果表明，因为对人们有好处就鼓励人们去做志愿者这可能是一个糟糕的主意。“学校和组织越来越鼓励志愿服务。一些团体认为，为自己谋福利是可以接受的，并鼓励人们把志愿服务看作是个人兴趣的交换。一些团体强调通过志愿服务获得的健康益处。”Konrath补充道:“当然，志愿者期望自己获得好处是合理的。但是，如果自我利益成为一个人的主要动机，志愿服务的潜在健康益处就会大大减少。”)”可知，本段解释了以获得好处为主要动机而进行志愿者活动，那么志愿者服务的潜在健康好处就会大大降低，也就是对第一段提出的这一当前发现：做志愿者的原因影响我们的健康，做出进一步解释，故选B。
12．D    13．C    14．B    15．D

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了计划于周四上午发射的Swot卫星，通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，将收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。

It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。)”和画线短语所在句子“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的vital resource进行全面调查。)”可知，Swot卫星通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据，然后对这些水资源进行调查，由此可推知，画线短语“vital resource”指的是下文提到的“water(水)”，故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The major mission is to explore how oceans adjust climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process.(其主要任务是探索海洋如何通过自然过程吸收大气热量和二氧化碳来调节气候变化。)”可知，Swot卫星的主要任务是探索海洋如何通过自然过程吸收大气热量和二氧化碳来调节气候变化，即研究海洋如何影响气候变化。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.(多亏了雷达仪器，Swot可以在地球的大范围内扫描云层和黑暗。这使得科学家能够精确地绘制二维地图，无论天气如何，无论何时，覆盖大面积地理区域的速度比以前快得多。)”可知，先进的雷达技术使得Swot能够精确测量，故选B。
15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource.

It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的重要资源进行全面调查。通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。)”可知，文章主要介绍了计划于周四上午发射的Swot卫星，通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。由此可推知D项“第一次对全球的水进行调查。”适合做文章标题，故选D。
16．F    17．E    18．D    19．C    20．G

【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了如何成为有创造力的人。
16．根据空前“While I agree that some people may be slightly more creative than others, I think creativity is a muscle that can be exercised and improved upon.”（虽然我同意有些人可能比其他人更有创造力，但我认为创造力是一块可以锻炼和提高的肌肉。）以及下文的四条建议，可知，空处是针对下文建议提出的问题。F项“The key is how to get your creativity strengthened”（关键是如何增强你的创造力。）符合语境。故选F。
17．根据小标题“1. Consume content outside your comfort zone.”（1. 消费舒适区之外的内容。）可知，这里建议我们多读一些我们感到不熟悉的内容。以及空后“We all love reading about stuff in our industry. ”（我们都喜欢阅读有关我们行业的东西。）接下来要说这样做不利于创造力。E项“But typically this doesn’t boost creativity”（但这通常不会激发创造力。）符合语境。故选E。
18．根据空前“Get at least one other person to join you for a 45-60 minute brainstorm. No technology and no criticism. Bring a topic or idea to the table and write down all your ideas(on actual paper). ”（至少找一个人和你一起进行45-60分钟的头脑风暴。没有技术，也没有批评。提出一个主题或想法，并写下你所有的想法（实际的纸上）。）可知，前面建议写下头脑风暴想出的想法以及下文“It’s important to do this in person and to make absolutely sure you don’t have any negative energy or feedback throughout the process. You may end up with 100 horrible ideas, but I bet you’ll have one or two good ones.”（亲自去做这件事是很重要的，并且绝对确保在整个过程中你没有任何负面能量或反馈。你可能会有100个糟糕的想法，但我敢打赌你会有一两个好主意。）可知，我们要确保在整个过程中你没有任何负面能量或反馈，由此可知，空处应该讲不要评论这些想法。D项“And don’t comment on a single idea（不要评论任何一个想法）”符合语境。故选D。
19．设空位置是小标题。通过分析其他小标题可知，这是祈使句。再根据下文“There are studies upon studies that discuss how our diet affects the way we think.   Want to start thinking differently?   Start giving your body different(and healthier)fuel.   You’d be shocked how much more creatively you can think and act when you eat a healthier diet.”（有很多研究都在讨论我们的饮食如何影响我们的思维方式。想要改变思维方式吗?开始给你的身体提供不同的（更健康的）能量。当你吃得更健康时，你会惊讶地发现你的思维和行动有多么有创造性。）可知，本段建议通过吃得健康来给身体提供能量。C项“Fuel yourself with different diets（用不同的饮食来补充能量。）”符合语境。故选C。
20．根据空前“Movies on the big scene are one of the last few places you can enjoy a complete sensory experience. The giant bright screen. The thundering surround sound. The smell and taste of fresh popcorn. The somewhat uncomfortable seat with plastic armrests that don’t move.”（大银幕上的电影是你能享受完整感官体验的最后几个地方之一。巨大的明亮屏幕。雷鸣般的环绕声。新鲜爆米花的气味和味道。有点不舒服的座椅，塑料扶手不能移动。）可知，前面都是剧院里可以激发你创造力的事物。G项“Whenever you leave the theatre, your mind will be filled with ideas”（每当你离开剧院，你的脑海里就会充满各种各样的想法。）符合语境。故选G。

36．考查介词。句意：在中国，与茶有关的国家级非物质文化遗产项目有44项，其中包括碧螺春，一种绿茶的制作工艺。短语be related to表示“与……有关”。故填to。
37．考查冠词。句意：在中国，与茶有关的国家级非物质文化遗产项目有44项，其中包括碧螺春，一种绿茶的制作工艺。type为可数名词，此处为泛指且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。a type of “一种”。故填a。
38．考查定语从句。句意：碧螺春，译作“绿色螺旋春天”，由嫩芽制成，已有1000年的历史。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Biluochun，从句缺少主语，指物，故填which。

46．One possible version:
Housework, I can do it
To promote the awareness of students’ tidiness and family responsibility, an activity named “Housework, I can do it” was held. In response to the activity sponsored by our school, I carried out my housework plan last weekend, ranging from tidying up rooms to cooking meals.
Early in the morning, I removed unwanted items and cleaned the house until it was spotless. At almost eleven, I prepared a lunch, fried rice, for which my parents praised me. Tired as I was, I felt so proud.
Through the involvement in the household chores, not only have I established a sense of family responsibility, but also I have fully understood that doing housework is of great meaning.

47．I pushed the door open and saw a complete mess again! My bed and desk were fully covered by white crumbs, and the walls were full of grape juice graffiti. What’s worse, I discovered cheese spread around the mouth of my angel statue whose pink lips were covered in cheese. I was completely shocked. Filled with anger, I was unable to utter a single word. So angry was I that I shook my fist at her. The moment she saw my reaction, she froze with fright, as if rooted on the ground. All of a sudden, she bursted into tears.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, I bent down and lifted her up gently. “It’s OK. Callie, no matter what you do, I will love you forever. You are such a good girl, for it is you creative imaginations that give me surprises everyday. Thank you!” I kissed her on her face, ruffling her long thick hair. On hearing that, her eyes widened with excitement and her mouth opened. “Sissy (sister)! I love you too.” She said heartily, and the smile on her face shone like a diamond.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我每天都害怕放学后走进我的房间。因为我三岁的妹妹每天在我离开学校的几个小时的时间足以使我的私人房间发生可怕的变化。今天也不例外。当我走进房子时，妈妈微笑着向我打招呼。似乎没有什么问题。不过，我还是不相信。我环顾四周，寻找我的小妹妹Callie，我没看到她，却看到了凌乱的客厅，我四处找了一下，她就坐在沙发上，黏糊糊的手里拿着电视遥控器。她从沙发上跳下来，跑向我，抱着我的膝盖，几乎把我掀翻了。“嗨，Callie，”我说，微微一笑。我弄乱了她长长的厚厚的头发，一些白面包屑落在了地毯上。“奶酪，姐姐。”Callie指着已经落在地毯上的白色碎屑说。我发现它们身上有一股强烈的奶酪的味道。Callie不可能只专注于摧毁客厅，那绝不是我的妹妹，那个破坏者。我转过身来，开始惊恐地爬进我的房间。不出所料，又是一团糟，我怒了，而妹妹因为我的生气吓坏了，我不忍心决定开始安慰她，姐妹和好如初。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我推开门，又看到一片狼藉!”可知第一段可描写我进房间后发现的糟乱状况以及我生气的表现和妹妹的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“看到她眼中的泪水，我弯下腰轻轻地把她抱起来。”可知第二段可描写我对妹妹的安慰以及妹妹的反应以及姐妹和好如初。
