Barry Farmer didn't have the easiest childhood, but it was an experience that made him who he is today—a foster father（养父）.
“When I was very little, I was going from home to home, living with friends of my parents. ” Farmer said. He then lived with his aunt, followed by a foster home.
When Farmer was four years old, something happened that would change his life forever： He moved in with his grandmother. At his grandmother's house, he had neighborhood friends, a good school and a sense of community. That stability was beneficial to Farmer,
“I lost my parents but I gained a whole village of support. That inspired me to become a foster parent, too," Farmer said.
When he was just 20 years old, he saw an advertisement about how to become a foster parent, "A year after getting licensed, I got my first case," he said. Farmer said social workers were not willing to assign（分配）him cases since he was not old enough, but he finally got his first child.
About a month after that child moved out, Farmer received another case. Farmer decided to take in 8-year-old Jaxon, “He was supposed to be with me temporarily," Farmer said. However, when Jaxon moved out, he was placed with a family who was supposed to adopt him but he didn't like it, "He missed me and I missed him because I wasn't really prepared for him to go,” Farmer said, "That's when I made a decision to keep him. ”
Foster care itself is so unpredictable. You don't know what to expect once you sign up," Farmer said, “There's no easy way to foster. It's an emotional（情感上的）journey. And you have to put your own personal feelings aside to make sure you're doing what's best for the children. But at last, both you and your foster children can benefit a lot. ”
5．Why did Barry Farmer want to be a foster father at first?
A．His grandmother expected him to do so.
B．He wanted to be independent of his aunt.
C．He loved this kind of life as a foster father.
D．He was inspired by his childhood experience.
6．What made social workers unwilling to offer Barry Farmer foster cases?
A．His bad behavior. B．His young age.
C．His lack of licenses. D．His poor living condition,
7．What can we learn about Barry Farmer and Jaxon when they lived together temporarily?
A．They got on badly with each other. B．They missed their own families a lot.
C．They possibly built a close connection. D．They got well prepared for departure.
8．What does Barry Farmer think of foster care?
A．It is hard but rewarding. B．It is harmful to children.
C．It is an emotionless journey, D．It is easy and predictable.

You probably don’t think of scientific or medical instruments as the kind of instruments that actually make music. But now researchers have built a scientific instrument specifically designed to detect counterfeit (伪造的) medications through sound.
The World Health Organization estimates about 10 percent of the medications in low and middle-income countries are fakes. Sometimes, dangerous ones. So the idea here is to fill the tube with a sample that’s known to be safe. Then compare it to a bottle you’re not so sure about.
“If you get the same pitch (音高) out of those two samples, it’s very good evidence that they’re probably the same material, and the suspect substance is a safe drug to take. But if you get a different pitch out of the two samples, that’s absolute proof that those two samples are chemically different. And that shows you there’s something wrong with the sample you were given and you probably shouldn’t take it.”
The instrument is designed to test only liquid samples for now. And while the human ear is sensitive enough to hear the difference between samples of air and water, the difference between a real and a counterfeit drug might be imperceptible to our ears. So Grover built a free website where users can upload recordings of the instrument, from their smartphone or computer, and analyze the hertz. Then repeat it with the suspect sample.
…in the hope of inspiring people around the world to build these things themselves. “I can literally make one of these out of junk in your garage in about five minutes probably. The hardest thing to come by is tubing. We’ve made them out of bent copper tubing like you get out of a radiator. Just junk, lying around. It’s remarkable how easy they are to make. My dream would be to have the instructions for making them and using them shared as widely as possible.”
It is, admittedly, a pretty convincing pitch.
9．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．A scientific instrument. B．A pretty convincing tube.
C．A suspect sample. D．A dangerous instrument.
10．What’s the function of the instrument according to the passage?
A．To give the buyer more drugs as a gift. B．To make the wonderful music.
C．To carry the liquid. D．To test fake medications through sound.
11．Where can you get the material to build this kind of scientific instrument?
A．The junk in the garage. B．The junk in the drugstore.
C．The junk in the supermarket. D．The junk in the factory.
12．What can we learn about the instrument from the passage?
A．Everyone can make it easily. B．It can play the music you like.
C．There is a long way to go. D．It is widely used to test medicine.

Use common interests to feel connected
Develop an “anchor” for your friendship.____18____. Maybe you both love cooking, so you each send photos of the new dishes you make with a link to the recipe.

Don’t hesitate to reach out
____19____. When phone calls won’t cut it, think about a visit. Visiting is one of the most important things you can do to keep a long distance friendship going.

六、读后续写（共25分）
52．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Were you Mark’s math teacher?” An old man came to my office and asked. I nodded. “Mark talked about you a lot. I want to show you something,” he said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. “They found this on him when he was killed in the battle. We thought you might recognize it.”
Opening the wallet, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mark’s classmates had said about him. And that happened 20 years ago.
Mark was in the third grade class I taught. All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark was one in a million. Very neat in appearance, he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional misbehavior delightful.
Mark also talked without stopping. I tried to remind him again and again that talking without permission was unacceptable. What impressed me so much, though, was the sincere response every time I had to correct him for misbehaving. “Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” I didn’t know what to make of it at first but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.
One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often. I made a new-teacher’s mistake. I looked at Mark and said, “If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut!”
It wasn’t ten seconds later when Chuck shouted, “Mark is talking again.” I hadn’t asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 至少使用5个短文中划有下划线的关键词语；
3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
I walked to my desk and took out a roll of tape.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One day I decided to do something different when Mark talked again in class.

【详解】1.根据上文“As often as we move around for school, work or family, long distance friendships are a reality of adulthood.(当我们为了学校、工作或家庭而四处奔波时，异地友谊在成年人的世界是真实的存在。)”可知，此处指出异地友谊在成人世界是很真实的存在，结合下文“there’s no reason to let physical distance keep you from staying connected.(没有理由让物理距离阻止你们保持联系。)”可知，空处应该继续谈论异地友谊，且和下文是一种转折关系，G项“While they might require some planning and creativity to keep up(虽然它们可能需要一些计划和创造力来保持联系）”符合，紧密衔接上文意思，且能很好对应下文，其中“they”代指上文的“long distance friendships”。故选G。
2.根据上文“Whether you’ve just moved away from your friend or you’ve been apart for years, long distance friendships require a mutual(互相的) commitment. That means reaching out, finding time to hang out, and showing your friend you value them.(不管你是刚刚离开朋友，还是你们已经分开多年，异地友谊需要彼此承诺。也就是说，主动出击，抽出时间和朋友一起玩，向你的朋友展示你对他们很重视。)”可知，此处提出你要主动出击，抽时间和朋友一起玩，要展示出你重视他们，空处应该承接上文，解释为什么这么做，B选项“Remember that they treasure you as well(记住他们也重视你)”符合语境。故选B。
3.根据上文对“anchor”的提及，以及下文“Maybe you both love cooking, so you each send photos of the new dishes you make with a link to the recipe. Or you both love, let’s say, the HBO show Euphoria, and you text to discuss it after each episode comes out. It doesn’t really matter what it is, as long as it helps you initiate a connection.(也许你们都喜欢烹饪，所以你们每人发一张新菜的照片，上面都有菜谱的链接。或者你们两个都喜欢，比如说，HBO剧集的快感，你们每集播出后都发短信讨论。不管是什么，只要能帮你建立联系。)”举例告诉我们如果有共同的爱好，该如何做，由此可知，空处应该解释什么是anchor，故C选项“It is something that you have in common(这是你们的共同点)”符合，承上启下。故选C。
4.本段小标题“Don’t hesitate to reach out(不要犹豫，要去联系)”鼓励大家主动联系，以及下一句“When phone calls won’t cut it, think about a visit.(当电话不能解决问题的时候，考虑一下去看看。)”可知，下文指出如何去联系朋友，即要抽时间去拜访他们，由此可知，空处引起下文，指出要抽出时间去联系朋友，选项E“Create the space to make your friend feel valued(制造空闲时间，让你的朋友感到被重视)”符合。故选E。
5.下文“It’s recommended to do it in a non-accusatory way. Then, ask your friend what their experience of the issue was and try to see things from both sides.(建议用非指控的方式。然后，问问你的朋友他们在这个问题上的经验是什么，试着从两个方面看问题。)”指出在提出问题时应该如何做，由此可知，空处应该是引起下文，引出“提问题”这一话题，A项“But bringing issues up can feel scary(但提出问题可能会让人感到害怕)”符合，与下文自然承接。故选A。

21．C    22．B    23．D    24．D    25．B    26．C    27．D    28．C    29．C    30．B    31．A    32．A    33．D    34．B    35．B    36．A    37．B    38．A    39．B    40．C

【解析】本文讲述了一个蕴含哲理的小故事。一个农民的朋友非常善于种植苹果树，他的朋友给了他一棵树苗让他回家种上，农民害怕种在田野里会有邻居把苹果偷走，所以就种在了自己的小树林里，但是因为缺少阳光而且没有肥沃的土壤，苹果树很快就死了，农民认为自己的苹果树死了和种在路边果实被偷走最终的结果都是一样的，但是朋友却告诉他，种在路边至少可以有人能够享受到它美味的果实，现在农民不仅抢走了大家的果实，还毁了自己的苹果树。
41．“tell sb sth”是“告诉某人某事”，“tell sb to do sth”是“告诉某人做某事”，这里的意思是这个农民的朋友给了他一颗苹果树苗，告诉他带回家把树苗种上，故填“to take”。
42．根据“but when he got home he did not know where to plant it”可知，他不知道应该把这棵苹果树种在哪里，说明还没有种，“_____he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and pick some of the apples.”抓住“would”一词，推断出这里是一个虚拟语气，用if引导虚拟条件句，与现在事实相反，直接用过去时。
43．“Finally he planted the tree in his wood ______no one could see it”解析句子成分，主谓宾都不缺少，“in his wood”作状语，后面跟一个定语从句补充说明，定语从句不缺主谓宾，因而先行词充当状语成分，用关系副词引导，这里先行词是wood，表示一个地点，应该填where。
44．根据“But______sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.”可知，这棵树由于没有阳光和肥沃的土壤不久就死了，故应该填without，构成介宾短语作状语。
45．考查短语“such + a/an + 名词”，such修饰单数名词放于不定冠词之前，意为“这样一个……”，这里是农民的朋友指责他为什么要把苹果树苗种在这样一个环境恶劣的地方。
46．“the farmer said______(angry)”，解析句子成分，空格处的词是用来修饰谓语动词said的，故应该用副词angrily。
47．这里“If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers the fruit.”是一个虚拟语气，与现在相反的if从句用过去时；与过去相反的if从句用过去完成时，这里用的是过去完成时，所以是与过去相反，故主句里应该填写would/could/might have stolen。
48．“Yes,” said the friend, “_____at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.”前面的yes表示同意，后面“至少有人享受到了它的果实”与“同意”的意见是相反的，所以这里应该有一个转折，故填but。
49．根据“robbed everyone ______the fruit”可知，这里应该填of，构成“rob of”短语，意为“抢走”。“Now you not only have robbed everyone of the fruit”即农民的朋友指责他抢走了本应该属于大家的水果。
50．根据“But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.”可知，树现在已经死了，所以这里应该用现在完成时，故填have destroyed。

52．I walked to my desk and took out a roll of tape. Very deliberately, I proceeded to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of the tape and made a big X with them over his mouth. I then returned to the front of the room. As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me. I started laughing. The entire class cheered as I walked back to Mark’s desk, removed the tape and shrugged my shoulders. His first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”
One day I decided to do something different when Mark talked again in class. I asked the other students to think of the good things they could say about Mark and write them down. Then I listed them on a separate paper. The next day I gave it to Mark. “Really?” Before long I heard him whispering. The paper did work. Mark listened more and more carefully to my instruction from that day on. “Thank you so much for doing that,” The old man brought me back to earth. “As you can see, Mark treasured it.” He added. That was when I finally cried.
【详解】前文主要讲的是一位老人来到作者的办公室，问作者是马克的数学老师吗?于是从口袋里掏出一个钱包，这个钱包是从在战争中阵亡的马克身上发现的。作者打开钱包，小心翼翼地取出两张破损的笔记本纸，这两张纸显然是用胶带粘过、折过又折过很多次的。作者没看就知道这些纸上写的都是20年前马克的同学对于马克的好评价。作者的思绪回到了20年前，马克是作者的学生，那时马克在上三年级。在给的第一段开头中，“I walked to my desk and took out a roll of tape.”此句中的a roll of tape为关键词，第一段围绕tape说明作者是怎么惩罚马克的以及马克的反应。在给的第二段开头中，“One day I decided to do something different when Mark talked again in class.”，应着重叙述作者想出了什么样的办法帮助马克改正自己的错误以及所取得的效果。
