17. How did the speaker book the hotel room?
A Over the phone. B. Through a friend. C. On the website.
18. Why did the speaker call the hotel on travel day?
A. To change a hotel room.
B. To ask the way get there.
C. To inform them of their delay.
19. Who is Marty?
A. Another hotel guest. B. The speaker’s friend. C. A hotel clerk.
20. What is the speaker dissatisfied with about the hotel?
A. The curtains. B. The fridge. C. The bathroom.
【答案】17. A 18. C 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: I took my first trip to Ogunquit this past week with a great friend. I decided on the Admiral’s Inn. After seeing a few pictures on their website, my heart was set on a room with an outdoor set — two chairs and a small table. Nothing is better than waking up and enjoying the first cup of coffee outdoors. Instead of booking through the website, I called the hotel directly to confirm that I got one of the rooms with an outdoor set, and the gentleman on the other end was as pleasant as could be. He arranged things exactly as what I hoped.
On travel day, we hit more traffic than expected. We called to let the hotel know that we would be a late check-in, and they were fine with it, stating that someone would be at the front desk until at least midnight. We drove straight through and made it by 11:30 p.m. Marty at the front counter was fantastic when we arrived. He gave us an overview of the town, what to see, what to do, how to get around.
The hotel itself was perfect for us. The room was really spacious. There was a small mini fridge that worked well. The bathroom was clean and also spacious. My only real dissatisfaction with the room is that the main window has thick curtains which work wonderfully, but there’s no privacy curtains. If you want any natural light in the room, you become completely exposed to anyone walking by. A soft white curtain added under the current thick curtains would be perfect.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。由文中第二部分UBC Varsity Outdoor Club 介绍中“The UBC VOC has also constructed a few backcountry cottages in the Coast Mountains.（UBC VOC在海岸山脉还建造了一些偏僻的村舍。）可知，只有UBC Varsity Outdoor Club提到了为远足者建设了偏远的村舍。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。由第三部分Pender Harbor Hiking Group中“The Pender Harbor Hiking Group offers hikes scheduled two months in advance, so get on the mailing list or check the website regularly to find a hike that's right for you!”（Pender Harbor远足小组提供提前两个月安排的远足，因此，请进入邮件列表或定期检查网站，以找到适合您的远足！）可知，该俱乐部的远足安排要关注网站或邮件，故选B项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。由文中Pender Harbor Hiking Group介绍中“Description: The Pender Harbor Hiking Group offers hikes scheduled two months in advance.”（ Pender Harbor远足小组提供提前两个月安排的远足）所以可推知是要提前订票安排的。 A项“Booking in advance.”（提前预定）可知文中并没有提到所有活动都要提前订票。同时该俱乐部介绍中“Membership cost: Free.”（会员费：免费）可知不收取会员费用，故B项“Charging membership fee.”（收取会员费）不对。 文中Yukon Outdoors Club介绍中提到“Description: The club arranges day hikes, backpacking trips, canoe trips, mountain biking, cross-country skiing trips, snowshoeing trips and various workshops for members to gain new skills and valuable. information.”（描述：俱乐部安排一日远足，背包旅行，独木舟旅行，山地自行车，越野滑雪旅行，雪鞋旅行和各种工作坊，供会员获得新技能和宝贵信息。）可知提到了获取技能。其他俱乐部未提及。故C项“Providing skill workshops”（提供技能作坊）不对。根据• UBC Varsity Outdoor Club中的“Description: The UBC Varsity Outdoor Club is a social group that hikes, mountaineers, rock climbs and ice climbs. ”描述:UBC Varsity户外俱乐部是一个社会团体，包括远足、登山、攀岩和攀冰。根据• Vernon Outdoors Club中的“Description: Boasting a membership of close to 200 people, the Vernon Outdoors Club is an active group that enjoys hiking and cycling.”描述:拥有近200名会员，弗农户外俱乐部是一个活跃的团体，喜欢徒步旅行和骑自行车。由此可知，四个俱乐部都组织徒步活动。故选D项。
B
On a tram smoothly pulling into the heart of Luxembourg City, Marck gives a smile and takes a look at the fabric of the seat next to him. For him, the city’s trams are more than just transport. More even than the focus of his job. They are about transforming his country and, perhaps, changing the world.
Marck is the director general of Luxtram, Luxembourg’s modern trams. It first started running services two years ago. Next year, Luxembourg will become the world’s only country to get rid of fares on all its forms of public transport. Luxembourg’s traffic problems come from its army of workers. The population of the capital city almost doubles during the working day, when more than 110,000 people travel in and out.
After three decades when its roads have become so crowded, Luxembourg is going to do something remarkable. Free fares, and a plan to persuade people to switch from cars to trams or trains. Marck, along with many others, is excited to see what happens next. “The fact that this is free means that everyone can use it — young or old, rich or poor,” he said. “Everyone can say to themselves it’s better to leave the car at home. We must continue to improve and extend the network. It must always be comfortable, well-connected, efficient.”
Lydie Polfer, the city’s mayor, says she hopes to reach the point where more than a third of people come into the city using public transport — at the moment, it’s less than one in five. She said, “It’s not practical to ban cars because some people, like the elderly, need them. But everyone has to be aware that he or she can do something to improve the situation. There is an expression in German — you are not in the traffic jam — you are the traffic jam, and that is true. I think that making it free will be the biggest arguments for people to use public transport. ”
24. Why does Marck think the city’s trams are more than just transport?
A. The trams are his goal that he strives for.
B. There are more means of transportation than trams.
C. City’s trams bring more changes beyond transport.
D. The trams are the heart of Luxembourg City transport system.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The cause of the traffic problems. B. The means of public transport.
C. The development of running services. D. The increase of working population.
26. What concerns people most when using the public transport?
A. The convenience. B. The fare. C. The comfort. D. The efficiency.
27. What can be inferred from what Lydie Polfer said?
A. The elderly needn’t use public transport.
B. It’s possible to persuade most people to use the trams.
C. Everyone can do his part to improve transport situation.
D. Those who don’t take public transport cause traffic jams.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。明年，卢森堡将成为世界上唯一一个对所有形式的公共交通免收车费的国家。文章解释了这一举措背后的原因以及意义。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For him, the city’s trams are more than just transport. More even than the focus of his job. They are about transforming his country and, perhaps, changing the world.(对他来说，这座城市的有轨电车不仅仅是交通工具。甚至超过了他工作的重心。它们改变他的国家，也许改变世界)”可知，Marck认为城市的有轨电车不仅仅是交通工具，也带来了超越交通的更多地改变。故选C。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Luxembourg’s traffic problems come from its army of workers. The population of the capital city almost doubles during the working day, when more than 110,000 people travel in and out.( 卢森堡的交通问题来自于它的工人大军。首都的人口在工作日几乎翻倍，每天有超过11万人进出)”可知，第二段主要讲了交通问题的原因。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“I think that making it free will be the biggest arguments for people to use public transport.(我认为免费使用它将是人们使用公共交通工具的最大理由。)”可知，人们在使用公共交通工具时最关心的是车费。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Lydie Polfer 说的“But everyone has to be aware that he or she can do something to improve the situation. There is an expression in German — you are not in the traffic jam — you are the traffic jam, and that is true.(但每个人都必须意识到，他或她可以做些什么来改善这种情况。德语中有句话——你不在交通堵塞中——你就是交通堵塞，这是真的)”可推知，Lydie Polfer 认为每个人都可以尽自己的一份力量来改善交通状况。故选C。
C
Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing. Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.
The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digital routine.
Why might you want to take a digital detox? Perhaps you find that you are spending longer than you intend on certain apps or that they distract you from more important things. Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. Constant negative news can also give rise to a lot of stress.
Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep by preventing production of melatonin (褪黑素) .
Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.
28. Why does the author say “technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing” in paragraph 1?
A. To confirm a concept. B. To present a problem.
C. To explain a rule. D. To make a prediction.
29. What does the underlined word “unplug” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Recover. B. Benefit. C. Escape. D. Suffer.
30. Which could be the reason for one to start “digital detox”?
A. Apps selection difficulty. B. Fear of missing important things.
C. Exposure to false news. D. Pressure from social comparison.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To recommend healthy lifestyles. B. To call for reducing the use of digital devices.
C. To give instructions on starting digital detox. D. To present different attitudes to digital products.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“数字排毒”，以及数字产品给我们带来的影响。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification(我们大多数人的生活都被屏幕包围着，它给我们提供了便利、联系和信息的海洋。 但因为要跟上每一个通知很容易感到压力)”可知，科技带来了便利，但也会容易感到有压力，所以作者说“技术可能更像是一种负担，而不是一种祝福”是为了呈现问题，引出话题“数字排毒”。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that dominate our lives for a period of time. (数字排毒这个短语描述的是摆脱电视、电话、电脑和其他形式的技术，这些技术在一段时间内主导了我们的生活)”可知，“数字排毒”是指摆脱电视、电话等数字生活，所以此处unplug from their digital routine是指“摆脱”数字生活，即unplug是“摆脱、脱离”的意思。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. (也许社交媒体让人沮丧是因为你把自己和别人比较，或者你害怕错过别人喜欢的东西。)”可知，一个人可能开始“数字排毒”的原因是把自己和别人比较，也就是来自社会比较的压力。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.(放弃所有的屏幕可能不现实，但有策略性地脱离科技可能对你的身体、思想、情感和人际关系有好处。 现在是时候关掉你的设备，专注于真正重要的事情)”可知，作者认为是关掉你的设备专注于重要的事情的时候了，可以推测出文章的目的是呼吁减少使用数码设备。故选B项。
D
With intelligent systems and new-age transit networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient.
After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. These cities will use 5G networks and the “internet of things” (IoT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of residents.
But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride.
Smart cities will be interactive, allowing their residents to feel like they’re truly shaping their environment, instead of merely existing in it. “One of the most important reasons to have a smart city is that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never have in the past,” said Mrinalini Ingram, head of a telecom company.
Smart cities will also allow us to save resources. By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart cities as well.
Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure(基础设施).
32. What calls for the development of smart cities?
A. The rapid progress in 5G networks.
B. The marked increase in world population.
C. The growing number of residents living in cities.
D. The major concern over the safety of living in cities.
33. How does the writer illustrate the way smart cities work?
A. By making a contrast. B. By giving examples.
C. By listing figures. D. By telling a story.
34. How do smart cities help us to live efficiently?
A. By interacting directly with our environment. B. By keeping track of how the resources are used
C. By ensuring no emission of air pollutants. D. By educating residents to save resources.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward smart cities?
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned..
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了创建智慧城市可以让生活可更幸福、更高效。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities.(让这些城市更适合这么多人居住的答案在于创建“智慧”城市)”可知，智慧城市的建立是解决未来城市人口过度的问题的需求。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors (传感器) around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride. (但智能城市到底能做什么呢?在美国的波士顿和巴尔的摩，智能垃圾桶可以感知它们有多满，并在需要清空时通知清洁工人。在荷兰阿姆斯特丹，交通流量和能源使用情况根据城市周围传感器收集的实时数据进行监控和调整。在丹麦的哥本哈根，一个智能自行车系统可以让骑车的人在骑车时检查空气质量和交通状况)”可知是通过举例子来解释智能城市的运作方式，故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently.(通过使用传感器和5G网络监控水、气和电的使用情况，城市管理者可以想出如何更有效地分配和节约这些资源)”可知，在智慧城市中，人们可以通过“跟踪”各种资源的利用情况，来提高生活效率。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure (基础设施). (当然，把我们现在的城市变成未来的智能城市需要时间和金钱。但正如我们已经看到的，世界各地越来越多的城市已经在小规模地采用智能技术。例如，中国正在上海和广州等大城市进行投资，使它们变得“更智能”。用不了多久，就会有更多的城市开始发展自己的智能基础设施。)”可知作者对智能城市的态度是积极的，乐观的。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何照顾一个伤心的人。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Learning how to care for a sad person will help you be there for your loved ones and friends when they are down. However, knowing how to care for a sad person is not something an individual is born with.(学习如何关心一个伤心的人会帮助你在你爱的人和朋友倒下的时候陪在他们身边。然而，知道如何照顾一个伤心的人并不是一个人与生俱来的)”可知，上文提到“知道如何照顾一个伤心的人并不是一个人与生俱来的”，说明需要通过研究和实践获得，F选项This knowledge对应上文knowing how to care for a sad person。故F选项“这些知识是通过研究和实践获得的”符合语境，故选F。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Give a hug. Hugging someone shows your affection and care.(给一个拥抱。拥抱某人表示你的爱和关心)”以及后文“This can make them feel relaxed and open to you.(这会让他们感到放松，对你敞开心扉)”可知，拥抱某人表示你的爱和关心，所以当你对别人这样做时，他们能感受到你的温暖。故G选项“当你对别人这样做时，他们能感受到你的温暖”承接上文，指出拥抱某人的好处，符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Now, go on and say some kind words. Words like “I’m here”, “we are in this together”, “you’ll get over this”, “lean on me” and so on, can help a sad person feel better and know that you’re there to take him/her through the sad moment.(现在，继续说几句好话吧。像“我在这里”、“我们在一起”、“你会挺过来的”、“依靠我”之类的话，可以帮助悲伤的人感觉好一点，让他们知道你会陪着他/她度过悲伤的时刻)”可知，本段主要关于对别人说一些暖心的话语，故A选项“说些亲切的爱的话”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Use the right tone of voice.(使用正确的语气)”以及后文“They go along with tone to convey a meaning to the listener.(它们配合语气向听者传达意思)”可知，后文提到言语配合语气向听者传达意思，说明不是孤立的，D选项words对应后文they。故D选项“记住，言语不是孤立的”符合语境，故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文“After asking the questions, listen patiently to know what the sad person would appreciate at that time.(问完问题后，耐心地听，知道那个悲伤的人当时会感激什么)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明倾听的作用：帮助你知道如何提供最合适的帮助，故E选项“它将帮助你知道如何提供最合适的帮助”符合语境，故选E。

67. 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。
Boys like to be considered to be brave, but what kind of things can be considered to be brave? It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Henry had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun.
注意：
1. 所续写的短文词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为二段，每段的开头语已经为你写好；
Paragraph 1:
A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
At that moment, Henry happened to pass by.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible Version
A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny. That afternoon after school, Ronny was bathing with some of his new friends in the river happily. Suddenly, he was stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out. He struggled hard but he was still trapped. He screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could. They were so scared and did not even try to help him.
At that moment, Henry happened to pass by. He heard the screams and ran to the river as soon as possible. Seeing Ronny was almost drowned, Henry took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation. He reached Ronny just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Ronny to the shore in time. Henry was happy to help his friend, though he was extremely tired.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章中的男孩亨利因为没有和朋友罗尼一起去凑热闹看别人打架，而被罗尼叫做懦夫并且受到了排挤，但亨利知道真正的勇气体现在容忍不该容忍的误解，罗尼的新朋友们也都觉得亨利是个懦夫。几天后，罗尼和新朋友们在河里洗澡时，不小心陷在泥里，他的新朋友们没有帮助他，而亨利在路过时听到了求救声后用尽他的力气帮助了罗尼。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几天后，在罗尼身上发生了可怕的事情”可知，第一段可描写罗尼遇到的可怕事情，同时承接上文中罗尼交往了一些新朋友的剧情，描写罗尼的新朋友在他遇到可怕事情时候的反应，如新朋友们看到罗尼陷入困境时一个个都赶紧离开。
②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，亨利碰巧经过。”可知，第二段可描写亨利在看到罗尼遭到不好事情时的反应。前文提到罗尼嘲笑亨利是个懦夫，但在这一段可描写亨利的勇敢救人的行为，以形成情节上的转折。
2.续写线索：罗尼陷入困境——朋友逃离现场——亨利及时出手相助——帮助罗尼非常高兴
3.词汇激活
