In the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies a tiny, remote island whose most famous residents stand guard along the edges of the rocky land. These legendary islanders are actually massive stone statues called moai. There are more than 800 of them on Easter Island.
Carved by the Rapa Nui people, the sculptures—known for their oversized heads—represent Rapa Nui ancestors, and they are considered sacred by descendants of the ancient civilization who still live on the island today.
However, a few of the moai are missing from their native home. One statue has been on display at the British Museum in London, England, for about 150 years and is one of the institution’s most popular exhibits.
But that may not be the case for much longer. Rapa Nui leaders recently announced that they want the statue back. Their request is not unique. A great many museums around the world are facing similar pressure to return historical objects to their homelands.
The issue has raised a debate: Do ancient artifacts belong in the places they came from or should they be displayed in popular museums where millions of people can appreciate them?
Last year, France’s President Emmanuel Macron called for thousands of artworks in French museums to be returned to the countries in Africa from which they were taken without permission.
But many experts believe certain artifacts should remain in museums, which are more accessible for people. That’s one reason officials at the British Museum believe they should keep Hoa Hakananai’a, saying roughly 6 million people visit the British Museum annually—many to see the moai Meanwhile, only about 100,000 people tour the remote stretch of land each year.
Many experts also say that fragile ancient treasures are safer in museums. On Easter Island, for example, several of the moai are worsening because of centuries of rain and winds or harmed by tourists who touch them while taking selfies.
Still, most present-day Rapa Nui people believe Hoa Hakananai’a was stolen. To them, the statue is an important part of the is land’s history that should be returned.
4. According to the passage, moai are________.
A. They are guards to protect the island.
B. They represent leaders on Easter Island.
C. They trace history back to 150 years ago.
D. They connect Rapa Nui and their ancestors.
5. What is the attitude of France’s president to the return of artworks?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Neutral D. Opposed.
6. Which of the following would the British Museum officials agree?
A. Ancient artifacts should be returned to their countries of origin.
B. Hoa Hakananai’a was not stolen but discovered by explorers.
C. Museums offer most people the chance to see famous artworks in person.
D. The oversized heads of Hoa Hakananai’a are the symbol of the civilization.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Stone statues like moai can be restored better indoors.
B. Hoa Hakananai’a is the best exhibit at the British Museum.
C. Tourists are to blame for the damage of all ancient treasures.
D The return of ancient artworks is being requested globally.
C
Slowness has been a sweeping trend in sustainability. Slow food celebrates local produce and traditional cooking methods; slow fashion is made with a focus on people and the planet. You may have even heard of the slow city, a campaign to restore local cultures and turn cities back to their natural environments.
Slow design developed from the larger slow movement. Although the term was only recently introduced, the idea of thoughtful design looks back to a time when buildings and furniture were made with great craftsmanship (手艺) and by hand-before the mass-produced throwaway furniture took over. You can think of the term “slow” as a celebration of timelessness: both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the relationship between that piece and its owner.
One example of slow design today is what’s been dubbed the brown furniture revival (复兴). Brown furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents’ day but suddenly fell out of style at the turn of the century. Brown furniture is often associated with dark woods, such as trees like mahogany, walnut, and teak, that take decades to reach maturity and true craftsmanship to transform into functional pieces.
Today’s furniture industry is dominated by the $13.1 billion-and-growing global ready-to-assemble(RTA) furniture market. RTA furniture is usually constructed from low-quality fiberboard, which lasts a small part of traditional furniture’s lifespan (寿命).The weight of furniture landfilled in 2018 was 9. 7 million tons, 4. 5 times what was landfilled in 1960.
In a less direct way, the idea of timelessness also lends itself to a lower environmental impact. Besides their demonstrated physical durability, slow materials and design are meant to outlive trends and never be thrown out simply because they’re out of style.
As second-hand shopping becomes more appealing to today’s young generation-because of its low environmental impact and affordability-the brown furniture of yesteryear is making a comeback.
8. Why is the first paragraph written?
A. To explain a new term.
B. To present the topic of the text.
C. To provide background information.
D. To highlight the importance of slowness.
9. What does the underlined word “dubbed” mean in paragraph 3?
A Known as.
B. Mistaken for.
C. Compared to.
D. Connected with.
10. What can be inferred about RTA furniture?
A. It is out of date.
B. It has a long lifespan.
C. It is heavy and expensive.
D. It has bad effects on the environment.
11. What is good news for the brown furniture revival?
A. Grandparents are buying new furniture.
B. The brown furniture will soon be mass-produced.
C. The young generation favors second-hand shopping.
D. Materials for slow design furniture are more available.
D
Saying farewell to someone you love, even for a night, can be difficult, much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death. Juliet bid Romeo adieu (再见) for the evening with the words, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.
Relationships are based on feelings, emotions, and passion. Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time. People spend time with the people they like. The more one person likes another person, the closer the relationship becomes. Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person.
Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity. Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.
The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship. The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings. We seek the love and comfort of other people. Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness. Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships. Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships. Herein lies the essential point of the emotional problem.
The more intense relationships become, the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation. The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection.
Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello.
12. Which of the word group can create the same effect as “sweet sorrow”?
A. icy cold B. clicking sound C. deafening silence D. endless speech
13. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life.
B. The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow.
C. A person’s identity is connected with relationship.
D. Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye.
14. What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life?
A. Making more communication with others.
B. Building deep emotional connections with others.
C. Comforting friends with love and intense feelings.
D. Being a thoughtful person by standing in others’ shoes.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships.
B. The pain of separation is the measure of relationships.
C. Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment.
D. Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it.

Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. ___16___ Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Newspapers and magazines all snap up to publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, famous people worry constantly about their public appearance. ___17___ Eventually, they see themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.
___18___ In the 4th century B.C. painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.

Local magazines and newspapers published his thrilling stories about his personal lives. They did much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.

If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. Others actively contact related social media or websites to keep the public informed of their views in time when suffering from the pressure of public opinions. ___20___

Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom as one of the last two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee. His opponent having missed the last question, it was Hector’s turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion.
“Where did I put that second sheet of questions?” Mr. Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a reputation of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the delay.” said Mr. Adler after what seemed like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the capital city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer.
Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates congratulated Hector. Wearing a proud smile, he greeted and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory.
As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn’t want to leave. Then he saw Mr. Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware, turned a corner and disappeared out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers”. Hector stared wide-eyed at the envelope. Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences, he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as Hector had done it, he knew it was the wrong choice. He’d cheated and whatever he did now, he couldn’t change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I stole this morning’s questions too?” Hector thought. “He’d take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was totally at a loss what to do.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“慢设计”家具因其环境友好、耐久和永不过时等优点正在回归的现象。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Slowness has been a sweeping trend in sustainability. (缓慢已经成为可持续发展的普遍趋势。)”可知，本段主要介绍缓慢已经成为一种趋势。同时根据第二段中“Slow design developed from the larger slow movement. (慢设计是从较大的慢运动发展而来的。)”以及“You can think of the term “slow” as a celebration of timelessness: both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the relationship between that piece and its owner.(你可以把“慢”这个词看作是对永恒的颂扬：既是一件作品的永恒，也是这件作品与其主人之间关系的永恒。)”可知，后文主要阐述了“慢设计”的发展过程以及人们对“慢”这个词的观点。故第一段为文章提供了背景信息。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文“Brown furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents’ day but suddenly fell out of style at the turn of the century. (棕色家具指的是厚重的木制家具，在你祖父母的时代很流行，但在世纪之交突然过时了。)”可知，后文是对前文的brown furniture的解释，故划线词意为“被称作……”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“RTA furniture is usually constructed from low-quality fiberboard, which lasts a small part of traditional furniture’s lifespan .( RTA家具通常由低质量的纤维板建造，它只持续了传统家具寿命的一小部分。)”以及“The weight of furniture landfilled in 2018 was 9.7 million tons, 4.5times what was landfilled in1960.( 2018年家具填埋重量为970万吨，是1960年填埋重量的4.5倍。)”可知，大量的组装家具被人们丢弃，进入垃圾填埋场，这显然会破坏环境。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As second-hand shopping becomes more appealing to today’s young generation-because of its low environmental impact and affordability-the brown furniture of yesteryear is making a comeback.(由于二手购物对环境影响小且价格实惠，它对如今年轻一代越来越有吸引力，昔日的棕色家具正在卷土重来。)”可知，因二手货便宜又环保，所以受到年轻人的喜欢，这对那些传承下来的棕色家具回归市场是有利的。故选C。
D
Saying farewell to someone you love, even for a night, can be difficult, much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death. Juliet bid Romeo adieu (再见) for the evening with the words, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.
Relationships are based on feelings, emotions, and passion. Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time. People spend time with the people they like. The more one person likes another person, the closer the relationship becomes. Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person.
Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity. Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.
The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship. The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings. We seek the love and comfort of other people. Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness. Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships. Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships. Herein lies the essential point of the emotional problem.
The more intense relationships become, the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation. The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection.
Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello.
12. Which of the word group can create the same effect as “sweet sorrow”?
A. icy cold B. clicking sound C. deafening silence D. endless speech
13. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life.
B. The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow.
C. A person’s identity is connected with relationship.
D. Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye.
14. What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life?
A. Making more communication with others.
B. Building deep emotional connections with others.
C. Comforting friends with love and intense feelings.
D. Being a thoughtful person by standing in others’ shoes.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships.
B. The pain of separation is the measure of relationships.
C. Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment.
D. Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,通过莎翁戏剧著名台词“Parting is such sweet sorrow”引出对人际关系的讨论，阐述分离的痛苦是衡量感情的尺度。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“ Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.(甜蜜的悲伤是一种矛盾修辞法。但这种看似矛盾的现象在人际关系中却是真实存在的。)”可知，本句中sweet sorrow是一种矛盾的修辞方法。C选项中“deafening silence(震耳欲聋的沉默)”与题干中的“甜蜜的悲伤”一致，构成的是修辞的方式是矛盾的修饰方式。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.(与你有深厚情感联系的人分离，即使是暂时的缺席，都会带来悲伤，因为你将无法再享受他们的陪伴。)”可知，分离是告别时悲伤的部分。故选D。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time,(深厚的友谊和爱的关系是由情感依恋的水平来衡量的。情绪会随着时间的推移而加剧)”以及第四段中“The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings.(一起度过的时光在情感上是有益的，尤其是如果那个人被视为灵魂伴侣。人类是社会生物)” 可知，一起度过的时光在情感上是有益的即与他人建立深厚的情感联系能使人在社交生活中获得情感上的满足。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文以及根据最后一段中“Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. (尽可能地享受和你在一起的人的陪伴；知道在一段关系结束时你会感受到的痛苦是衡量这段关系的真正标准。如果说再见无伤大雅，那也许不值得说你好)”可知，文章通过“告别”带给人看似矛盾的情感体验这一现象，通过对比等手段，深入分析了痛苦这种情感体验在人际关系疏密中的作用。B选项“The pain of separation is the measure of relationships.(分离的痛苦是衡量感情的尺度。)”概括文章主要内容。故选B。

阅读下面短文，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。
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. ___16___ Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Newspapers and magazines all snap up to publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, famous people worry constantly about their public appearance. ___17___ Eventually, they see themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.
___18___ In the 4th century B.C. painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Local magazines and newspapers published his thrilling stories about his personal lives. They did much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. ___19___ Then there is always the media to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. Others actively contact related social media or websites to keep the public informed of their views in time when suffering from the pressure of public opinions. ___20___
A. Over time, they feel separated and alone.
B. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.
C. These celebrities start to lose track of who they really are.
D. Actually, the calmer they keep, the less trouble they will run into.
E. The phenomenon of tracking famous people has been around for ages.

G. Inadequate social recognition makes it much harder for stars to keep a positive image.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是名声给人所带来的麻烦和压力。
【16题详解】
空前说“Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine.(虽然成名听起来像是梦想成真，但如今的明星们就像动物园里的动物一样，面临着我们几乎无法想象的压力。)”，空后说“Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Newspapers and magazines all snap up to publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.(狗仔队在他们家外面扎营，准备好摄像机。报纸和杂志都争相发表有关他们个人生活的惊心动魄的故事。)”，空格处应该说明星们面临的压力就是全世界似乎都在关注他们，B选项“They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.(他们是世界关注的焦点。)”说明了全世界在关注这些明星，起到承上启下的作用，因此符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
空后说“Eventually, they see themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.(最终，他们看到了粉丝想象中的自己，而不是所有人都知道他们名字之前的自己。)”，因此空格处应该说这些名人看不到真正的自己了，C选项“These celebrities start to lose track of who they really are.(这些名人开始忘记自己到底是谁。)”说明名人看不到真正的自己，和空后“看到了粉丝想象中的自己”相呼应，因此C选项引起下文，符合语境，故选C。
【18题详解】
空后说“In the 4th century B.C. painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Local magazines and newspapers published his thrilling stories about his personal lives.(公元前4世纪，画家跟随亚历山大大帝进入战场，希望为他的崇拜者描绘他的胜利。当查尔斯·狄更斯19世纪访问美国时，他的售罄读本吸引了成千上万的粉丝，这让他抱怨自己缺乏隐私。当地的杂志和报纸刊登了他关于个人生活的惊心动魄的故事。)”，因此空格处应该说报刊杂志跟踪报道名人的事情是以前就有的，E选项“The phenomenon of tracking famous people has been around for ages.(追踪名人的现象已经存在很长时间了。)”说明了跟踪报道名人这种事情很早以前就有，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
空前说“Superstars cannot move about without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.(超级明星的一举一动都会被拍照或被打断签名。)”，空后说“Then there is always the media to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.(然后总是有媒体在几分钟内传播新闻，让他们的“故事”永远活着。)”，因此空格处应该举出明星可能会被报道的不好的事情，F选项“For example, they accidentally say something silly or do something ridiculous.(例如，他们不小心说了一些愚蠢的话或做了一些荒谬的事情。)”举的是明星做的不好的事情的例子，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选F。
【20题详解】
空前说“Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. Others actively contact related social media or websites to keep the public informed of their views in time when suffering from the pressure of public opinions.(一些明星通过与值得信赖的朋友和家人呆在一起，或者逃到远离大城市的偏远地方来保持冷静。还有一些人在承受舆论压力时，积极联系相关社交媒体或网站，及时让公众了解自己的观点。)”，空格处应该对这些明星的这些做法进行评论，说明他们这么做好还是不好，D选项“Actually, the calmer they keep, the less trouble they will run into.(事实上，他们越冷静，遇到的麻烦就越少。)”是对空前所说的明星的做法进行的评论，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。

Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom as one of the last two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee. His opponent having missed the last question, it was Hector’s turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion.
“Where did I put that second sheet of questions?” Mr. Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a reputation of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the delay.” said Mr. Adler after what seemed like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the capital city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer.
Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates congratulated Hector. Wearing a proud smile, he greeted and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory.
As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn’t want to leave. Then he saw Mr. Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware, turned a corner and disappeared out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers”. Hector stared wide-eyed at the envelope. Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences, he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as Hector had done it, he knew it was the wrong choice. He’d cheated and whatever he did now, he couldn’t change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I stole this morning’s questions too?” Hector thought. “He’d take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was totally at a loss what to do.

【答案】Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. “Hector! Come and help me look for…”“This? ” Hector stopped Mr. Adler mid-sentence, holding out the open envelope. Mr. Adler’s brows were smoothed but then knitted again. Before he formed questions, Hector started unbosoming his regrets. If he had waited another moment, they would have torn him into pieces. “Can I still be in the Bee?” asked Hector timidly. “Absolutely, my honest boy,” Mr. Adler patted his shoulder. “I don’t believe in punishing people for making the right decisions and correcting their mistakes.” Immense relief washed over Hector.
The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. Having been up late studying, Hector looked exhausted but extremely excited. So did all the other competitors. All the eyes fixed on the stage, Hector felt blood rushing onto his cheeks and his heart beating fast. Unfortunately, the questions Mr. Adler rewrote were so tough that he was knocked out in round three. But Hector realized to his surprise that he didn’t feel bad about losing at all. Whether others knew he was smart was of no significance. He’d set out to learn everything about the world and ended up learning more about himself.
