Jose Alberto Gutierrez's life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while immersed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez's library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words“, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.
24. What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library?
A. The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
B. The hobby he has started since childhood.
C. Famous novelists he liked very much.
D Abandoned books he came across at work.
25. What can we learn about Gutierrez's mother?
A. She was born into a poor family.
B. She bought Gutierrez many books.
C. She influenced Gutierrez greatly.
D. She enjoyed reading Hugo’s works.
26. What does the underlined phrase “call it a day” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Take the time. B. Stop the work.
C. Make a change. D. Receive a reward.
27. What does Gutierrez's story tell us?
A. A book holds a house of gold.
B. Constant dropping wears the stone.
C. Good things come to those who wait.
D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为记叙文。文章讲述了哥伦比亚环卫工人古铁雷斯将富人区被丢弃的书籍带回家，把自己的家变成了一个面向社区开放的图书馆，为低收入家庭的孩子提供阅读的机会的故事。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Jose Alberto Gutierrez's life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library. (20年前，何塞·阿尔贝托·古铁雷斯在垃圾堆里发现了一本列夫·托尔斯泰的《安娜·卡列尼娜》，从此他的生活再也不一样了。这件事发生在他晚上开着垃圾车经过富裕社区时，看到了被遗弃的书。这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，环卫工人古铁雷斯20年前开着垃圾车经过富人区时，在垃圾堆中发现了被丢弃的书，其中有一本是托尔斯泰的《安娜·卡列尼娜》，从此以后他每天都带一些被丢弃的书回家，最后把自己的家变成了一个面向社区开放的图书馆。因此可知，他在工作中偶然发现的废弃书籍鼓舞他建立了这个社区图书馆。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez. (然而，他的母亲是一个热心的读者，每天晚上读故事给他听。她对书的热爱给古铁雷斯留下了深刻的印象)”可知，古铁雷斯的母亲酷爱读书，每晚都会给他讲故事。母亲对书籍的喜爱给古铁雷斯留下了深刻的印象，极大地影响了他，让他也爱上了阅读。故选C。
3.词义猜测题。根据后文“He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books. (他继续在垃圾箱里寻找阅读材料，甚至前往墨西哥和智利的书展，推销他用废弃书籍建造图书馆的想法。)”可知，古铁雷斯继续搜罗更多的书，甚至还去到墨西哥和智利的书展兜售自己的想法，可见他并没有就此停止他的公益行为。因此推断call it a day意思是“到此为止；停止”。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.(最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”以及全文内容可知，因为古铁雷斯的善举，使得原本被丢弃的书籍再次发挥它们的作用，成为了家庭贫困的孩子的宝贵财富。四个选项中谚语的意思分别是：A.书中自有黄金屋；B.滴水穿石；C.好事多磨；D.变废为宝。可见D选项最契合文章主题。故选D。
C
Maybe you’ve wondered what you would hear if plants could speak. A stream of gossip from the roses? Wise whispering from the branches of an old tree? A faint, high-pitched cry of terror when your older brother takes out the lawn mower(割草机)?
Ariel Novoplansky, an ecologist in Israel, is studying how plants communicate with each other. To listen in, he set up a kind of telephone game among plants in his lab. Experiment used pea plants standing in rows of containers. The center plant in each row was the target: Scientists would stress out that plant and see whether the plants on either side of it picked up any alarm signals.
The pea plants had been grown with two main roots. On one side of the stressed plant, each plant had one root in its own pot and the other reaching into a neighbor’s pot. The central plant connected to its closest neighbor, which connected to another neighbor, and so on down the line. On the other side of the stressed plant, all the plants kept their roots in their own pots unconnected to their neighbors. Then the scientists dried up the soil of the central target plant, creating a drought.
Within 15 minutes, the dried-out plant reacted the same way it would in nature: it had closed up the tiny pores(气孔) on its leaves to save water. What’s amazing is that the central plant’s closest neighbor with connected roots had also closed up its leaf pores. And after an hour, the message had traveled down the whole row of connected plants. On the other side of the pea chain, where the plants’ roots weren’t connected, all their pores stayed open. This means the warning signal traveled from the stressed plant’s roots through the soil.
Dried-out roots aren’t the only talkative plant parts scientists have discovered. When sugar maple trees are damaged, they send signals through the air telling their neighbors to produce bad-tasting chemicals. When caterpillars chew on corn leaves, nearby corn plants also make more self-defense molecules(分子). The plants around us may not be speaking with any volume, but they are saying plenty.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To make a prediction. B. To raise a discussion.
C. To develop a theory. D. To introduce a research.
29. How did Novoplansky conduct his experiment?
A. By stressing out the target plant.
B. By sending alarming signals to plants.
C. By growing pea plants with different roots.
D. By drying out the soil of the plants in rows.
30. What do we know about the pea plants according to the text?
A. They are able to communicate with the gardeners.
B. They send warning signals to others through the air.
C. They close up their leaf pores as a stress reaction.
D. They are the most talkative plants found by scientists.
31. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A science journal.
C. A gardening guide. D. A business magazine.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了以色列生态学家阿里尔·诺沃普兰斯基用豌豆进行的一项实验。实验发现，当一株豌豆缺水的时候，与之根系相连的其他豌豆也会出现相同的应激反应。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Maybe you’ve wondered what you would hear if plants could speak. A stream of gossip from the roses? Wise whispering from the branches of an old tree? A faint, high-pitched cry of terror when your older brother takes out the lawn mower(割草机)? (也许你想知道如果植物会说话，你会听到什么。玫瑰花上的流言蜚语？从一棵老树的树枝上发出睿智的低语？当你哥哥拿出割草机时，一声微弱而尖锐的恐怖呼喊？)”可知，作者以玫瑰、古树、草地为例，假设如果植物会说话，我们能听到什么，从而引出下文有关植物之间是如何传递信息的研究。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The center plant in each row was the target: Scientists would stress out that plant and see whether the plants on either side of it picked up any alarm signals. (每一排的中心植物都是目标：科学家会对该植物进行压力测试，看看它两侧的植物是否收到了任何警报信号。)”可知，科学家诺沃普兰斯基主要是通过对目标植物施加压力来进行实验的。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Within 15 minutes, the dried-out plant reacted the same way it would in nature: it had closed up the tiny pores(气孔) on its leaves to save water. (在15分钟内，这种干燥的植物的反应与自然界中的反应相同：它关闭了叶子上的小孔以节约用水。)”可知，当实验室的豌豆受到干旱威胁时，会像在自然环境里一样，关闭叶子上的气孔以节约水分，这是它们的一种应激反应。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Ariel Novoplansky, an ecologist in Israel, is studying how plants communicate with each other.( 以色列生态学家Ariel Novoplansky正在研究植物如何相互交流。)”可知，这篇文章介绍了一项有关植物之间如何交流的实验，因此它应该来自于一本科学期刊。故选B。
D
Strawberry shortcake. Strawberry mochi. Strawberries a la mode. These may sound like springtime treats. But in Japan, the strawberry crop peaks in wintertime－a freezing season of superb berries. To recreate an artificial spring in the winter months, farmers grow their out- of-season delicacies in huge greenhouses heated with giant, gas-consuming heaters.
The swing has made strawberry farming much more energy intensive. “We looked at all aspects, including transport, or what it takes to produce fertilizer－even then, heating had the biggest footprint,” said Naoki Yoshikawa, a researcher, who led the produce emissions study.
Examples like these complicate the idea of eating locally, namely the idea embraced by some environmentally conscious shoppers of buying food that was produced relatively close by. They did this in part to cut down on the fuel and pollution associated with transportation. However, according to Miller, a professor at the University of Michigan, transportation of food often has less climate impact than the way it is produced. “It’s ideal if you can eat both in-season, and locally,” she said, “so your food is produced without having to add major energy consumption.”
In Japan, the energy required to grow strawberries in winter hasn’t proven to be just a climate burden. It has also made strawberry production expensive, particularly as fuel costs have risen, hurting farmers’ bottom lines. Research and development of berry varieties, as well as fancy branding, has helped ease some of those pressures. Strawberry varieties in Japan are now sold with fancy names like Beni Hoppe (“red cheeks,”) and (“Bijin Hime beautiful princess”), helping farmers fetch higher prices. The most picture-perfect ones have even sold hundreds of dollars to be given as special gifts.
Tochigi, north of Tokyo, has been developing a new variety of strawberry called Tochiaika, which produces a higher yield from the same inputs, making growing them more energy-efficient. Researchers in Sendai have been exploring ways to employ solar power to keep the temperature inside strawberry greenhouses warm. Strawberry farmer Ms. Yoshimura is working to gain local recognition for her “unheated strawberries. It would be nice,” she said, “if we could just make strawberries when it’s natural to.”
32. What makes the strawberry crop peak in winter?
A. Solar power. B. Low temperature.
C. Industrial heating. D. Global warming.
33. What might Miller think of some shoppers’ eco-friendly attempt?
A. It’s useless. B. It’s insufficient.
C. It’s ideal. D. It’s harmful.
34. How does the Japan strawberry industry respond to the rising production cost?
A. It reduces investment in branding.
B. It raises the prices of strawberries.
C. It adjusts the strawberry growing season.
D. It slows down the development of varieties.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Benefits from organic farming.
B. New studies of strawberry varieties.
C. Attitudes towards energy consumption.
D. Efforts to conserve energy in production.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍日本农业利用燃烧煤油的温室，逆转了草莓自然生长季节，在冬季培育出了高品质草莓。然而，人们要为食用这些最早、最好的浆果付出高昂的成本。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“To recreate an artificial spring in the winter months, farmers grow their out-of-season delicacies in huge greenhouses heated with giant, gas-consuming heaters.(为了在冬季重现人工春天，农民们在巨大的温室里种植反季节美食，温室里用巨大的耗气加热器加热。)”可知，农民们通过在装有巨大高油耗的加热器的温室里展开种植，来实现在冬天培育草莓。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, according to Miller, a professor at the University of Michigan, transportation of food often has less climate impact than the way it is produced. “It’s ideal if you can eat both in-season, and locally,” she said, “so your food is produced without having to add major energy consumption.”(然而，密歇根大学教授米勒表示，食品运输对气候的影响通常比生产方式小。她说：“如果你既能在当季吃，又能在当地吃，那就太理想了，这样你的食物就可以在不增加主要能源消耗的情况下生产出来。”)”可知，这些消费者只做到了食用当地产的食物，而忽略了要食用当季的农产品，所以一些购物者的环保尝试做的还是不够的。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Strawberry varieties in Japan are now sold with fancy names like Beni Hoppe (“red cheeks,”) and (“Bijin Hime beautiful princess”), helping farmers fetch higher prices.(日本的草莓品种现在以Beni Hoppe（“红脸颊”）和Bijin Hime（“美丽的公主”）等花哨的名字出售，帮助农民获得更高的价格。)”可知，日本草莓产业通过研究和开发草莓品种，以及精心打造品牌，有效帮助农民提高了草莓价格，从而缓解了生产成本上升带来的压力。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Tochigi, north of Tokyo, has been developing a new variety of strawberry called Tochiaika, which produces a higher yield from the same inputs, making growing them more energy-efficient. Researchers in Sendai have been exploring ways to employ solar power to keep the temperature inside strawberry greenhouses warm. Strawberry farmer Ms. Yoshimura is working to gain local recognition for her “unheated strawberries. It would be nice,” she said, “if we could just make strawberries when it’s natural to.”(东京北部的Tochigi一直在开发一种名为Tochiaika的新品种草莓，这种草莓在相同的投入下产量更高，使种植更节能。仙台的研究人员一直在探索如何利用太阳能来保持草莓温室内的温度。草莓种植者Yoshimura女士正在努力为她的“未加热”草莓赢得当地的认可。“如果我们能在自然的时候产出草莓，那就太好了，”她说)”可知，最后一段介绍了三种日本当地草莓产业的新实践：栃木市在开发一种在相同投入条件下产量更高的草莓新品种，从而提高了种植的能源效率；仙台的研究人员一直在探索利用太阳能来保持草莓温室内温暖的方法；草莓种植农户吉村女士研发出无需在煤油加热的温室种植草莓的技术。这三种实践的共同之处在于，他们均在努力减少草莓种植过程中的能源消耗，即：本段主要讲的是在草莓生产中努力节约能源，故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)
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。
We all know there’s good cholesterol (胆固醇) and bad cholesterol. ____36____ A better understanding of them will give us health benefits.
Good fat is medically known as “brown fat”, typically found in the neck and shoulders of newborns. It makes up about 5 percent of an infant’s total body mass. ____37____ By age six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with. Researchers now believe that some people maintain brown fat deposits into adulthood. As a “good” kind, it is metabolically (新陈代谢地) efficient and actually burns excess energy to generate heat.
____38____ It is a way for your body to store excess energy that accumulates when you consume more calories than you use. It is widely distributed throughout the body. And it doesn’t use much energy, is hard to burn off, accumulates, and causes other health problems.
The fat we gain over time is almost all white fat. The increasing level of white fat is one of the major causes of shortened life spans and chronic diseases. Thus, increasing the level of brown fat makes sense.
Some studies suggest that taking a cold shower or an ice bath could activate brown fat to help your body burn more calories. Researchers have also found methods that may help people gain brown fat without the need for cold. ____39____ As brown fat is rich in iron, choosing iron supplements or food items rich in iron can keep your fat cells healthy. Nutrition is vital for your health, especially if you want to increase brown fat production.
Though it is helpful to increase brown fat, some scientists think they will learn how to keep stores of brown fat as large and active throughout adulthood as its stores are in infancy. ____40____.
A. You can build fat from the food you eat.
B. We lose most of our brown fat as we age.
C. It turns out there’s good and bad fat, too.
D. It’s wise to distinguish good fat from bad fat.
E. But white fat is considered to do the opposite.
F. These methods oppose taking in extra calories.
G. The goal is to maintain brown fat rather than recreate it.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。长期以来，脂肪一直被认为是危害人体健康，引发各类疾病的罪魁祸首。但实际上脂肪也有好坏之分：一种是不招人待见的白色脂肪，即我们常说的“肥肉”，它在不断地存储热量；另一种则是棕色脂肪，它的主要功能是生热，能帮助人体消耗更多的能量，加速机体新陈代谢。
【36题详解】
根据上文“We all know there’s good cholesterol (胆固醇) and bad cholesterol. (我们都知道有好胆固醇和坏胆固醇。)”和下文“Good fat is medically known as “brown fat”, typically found in the neck and shoulders of newborns. (好脂肪在医学上被称为“棕色脂肪”，通常存在于新生儿的颈部和肩部。)”可知，接下来要说明脂肪也有好的和坏的。选项C“事实证明，脂肪也有好的和坏的。”和上下文意思一致。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据上文“It makes up about 5 percent of an infant’s total body mass. (它约占婴儿总体重的5%。)”和下文“By age six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with. (到六岁时，我们的棕色脂肪还不到我们出生时的5%。)”可知，随着年龄的增长，我们会失去很多棕色脂肪。选项B“随着年龄的增长，我们失去了大部分棕色脂肪。”和上下文意思一致。故选B。
【38题详解】
根据下文“It is a way for your body to store excess energy that accumulates when you consume more calories than you use. It is widely distributed throughout the body. And it doesn’t use much energy, is hard to burn off, accumulates, and causes other health problems. (这是你的身体储存多余能量的一种方式，当你消耗的热量超过你使用的热量时，这些能量就会积累起来。它广泛分布在全身。而且它不消耗太多能量，很难燃烧、积累，还会导致其他健康问题。)”可知，下文介绍的是白色脂肪的坏处。选项E“但是白色脂肪被认为起到了相反的作用。”和下文意思一致。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Researchers have also found methods that may help people gain brown fat without the need for cold. (研究人员还发现了一些方法，可以帮助人们在不需要感冒的情况下获得棕色脂肪。)”可知，接下来要介绍增加棕色脂肪的方法。选项A“你可以从你吃的食物中增加脂肪。”和上文意思一致。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Though it is helpful to increase brown fat, some scientists think they will learn how to keep stores of brown fat as large and active throughout adulthood as its stores are in infancy. (尽管增加棕色脂肪是有帮助的，但一些科学家认为，他们将学会如何在整个成年期保持棕色脂肪的储存量和婴儿期数量一样大和活跃。)”可知，这里提到我们要保持棕色脂肪的数量和婴儿期数量一样大就可以了。选项G“目标是保持棕色脂肪，而不是重新创造。”和上文意思一致。故选G。

【导语】本文为记叙文。文章主要介绍了羌绣特点，以及羌绣大师陈云珍为传承与发扬这一中华传统文化所做的努力。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它可以追溯到汉代，当时它被用于服装。空处引导非限制性定语，先行词是Han Dynasty，代替先行词在从句中时间状语，应用关系副词when。故填when。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：通常由女性操作，其特点是大胆使用鲜艳的颜色，并使用多种针法。空处为句子谓语动词，陈述客观事实，且主语是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填features。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意：随着当地旅游业的发展，来自四川北川的羌族刺绣大师陈云珍决定将刺绣作为一个品牌来推广，以吸引更多的游客。master“大师”是可数名词的单数形式，此处为泛指，应添加不定冠词，且该词的发音是辅音音素开头，故填a。

考查名词。句意同7小题。空处应填名词作enjoy的宾语，popularity“欢迎”符合句意，不可数。故填popularity。
【65题详解】

67. 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。
As the bell was about to ring, our teacher announced a special assignment for next Monday: to share our gratitude for someone instead of giving a daily report. Hearing this, anxiety crawled over my body as the last thing I would do was speaking in front of the entire class! I couldn’t help complaining to my best friend Jenny.
“You are the chief violinist in our school orchestra aren’t you?” she said. “So what’s the point of being afraid of speaking to a few our own classmates since you can handle acting in front of a large audience?”
Her point made sense, but being in a performance meant being part of a team. I shook my head. Besides, there were so many people I was grateful to, and choosing just one seemed difficult. Even if I could pick someone, I wouldn’t know how to say thank you. And even if I figured out what to say, I was sure I’d stumble(结巴地说) on my words when speaking aloud! Standing there, with everyone’s eyes on me, I would feel the spot light was wholly on me, and there would be no place for me to hide! “Oh no!” I covered my face with my hands and said, “I can’t do it, just can’t!” Real friends, the ones who know you well, don’t just do exactly what you ask. Jenny, always supportive and helpful, wrote something on a piece of paper and gently removed my hands from my face. She had drawn a cute cat with the word “CALM” written below it.
“Nice meeting you; I am the ‘everything will be fine’ cat,” Jenny laughed and sounded exactly like a cat. Pretending to listen to the cat, she asked, “Well, kitty, you think my friend should come to my house tomorrow, so we can prepare our speeches together I laughed out loud and relaxed a lot. I have to say Jenny was there for me, always!”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

The next day, I went to Jenny’s house.

Before the speech, however, I changed my mind and wrote “Jenny” on the blackboard.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】[参考范文]
The next day, I went to Jenny’s house. I asked her curiously who she would pick to talk about. “My grandma!” she blurted out. “What about you?” I fell silent. Sensing my embarrassment, Jenny looked at me with an encouraging smile. Then she suggested I talk about my mom, helping me patiently organize my thoughts into reasonable and heartfelt sentences. After that, we took turns to rehearse our speeches to polish the expressions. By the end of the day, I felt more prepared and confident for Monday’s work.
Before the speech, however, I changed my mind and wrote “Jenny” on the blackboard. Taking a deep breath, I began sharing my gratitude for Jenny’s constant support and genuine friendship. As I spoke, I kept my eyes on Jenny. I could see her widened eyes at first, and then a big smile. With the courage and confidence she had helped me build, the terrifying assignment finally turned into an “everything will be fine” success! As I finished speaking, she gave me a bear hug, while thunderous applause echoing in the classroom.

Jose Alberto Gutierrez's life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while immersed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez's library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words“, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.
24. What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library?
A. The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
B. The hobby he has started since childhood.
C. Famous novelists he liked very much.
D Abandoned books he came across at work.
25. What can we learn about Gutierrez's mother?
A. She was born into a poor family.
B. She bought Gutierrez many books.
C. She influenced Gutierrez greatly.
D. She enjoyed reading Hugo’s works.
26. What does the underlined phrase “call it a day” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Take the time. B. Stop the work.
C. Make a change. D. Receive a reward.
27. What does Gutierrez's story tell us?
A. A book holds a house of gold.
B. Constant dropping wears the stone.
C. Good things come to those who wait.
D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为记叙文。文章讲述了哥伦比亚环卫工人古铁雷斯将富人区被丢弃的书籍带回家，把自己的家变成了一个面向社区开放的图书馆，为低收入家庭的孩子提供阅读的机会的故事。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Jose Alberto Gutierrez's life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library. (20年前，何塞·阿尔贝托·古铁雷斯在垃圾堆里发现了一本列夫·托尔斯泰的《安娜·卡列尼娜》，从此他的生活再也不一样了。这件事发生在他晚上开着垃圾车经过富裕社区时，看到了被遗弃的书。这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，环卫工人古铁雷斯20年前开着垃圾车经过富人区时，在垃圾堆中发现了被丢弃的书，其中有一本是托尔斯泰的《安娜·卡列尼娜》，从此以后他每天都带一些被丢弃的书回家，最后把自己的家变成了一个面向社区开放的图书馆。因此可知，他在工作中偶然发现的废弃书籍鼓舞他建立了这个社区图书馆。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez. (然而，他的母亲是一个热心的读者，每天晚上读故事给他听。她对书的热爱给古铁雷斯留下了深刻的印象)”可知，古铁雷斯的母亲酷爱读书，每晚都会给他讲故事。母亲对书籍的喜爱给古铁雷斯留下了深刻的印象，极大地影响了他，让他也爱上了阅读。故选C。
3.词义猜测题。根据后文“He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books. (他继续在垃圾箱里寻找阅读材料，甚至前往墨西哥和智利的书展，推销他用废弃书籍建造图书馆的想法。)”可知，古铁雷斯继续搜罗更多的书，甚至还去到墨西哥和智利的书展兜售自己的想法，可见他并没有就此停止他的公益行为。因此推断call it a day意思是“到此为止；停止”。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.(最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”以及全文内容可知，因为古铁雷斯的善举，使得原本被丢弃的书籍再次发挥它们的作用，成为了家庭贫困的孩子的宝贵财富。四个选项中谚语的意思分别是：A.书中自有黄金屋；B.滴水穿石；C.好事多磨；D.变废为宝。可见D选项最契合文章主题。故选D。
C
Maybe you’ve wondered what you would hear if plants could speak. A stream of gossip from the roses? Wise whispering from the branches of an old tree? A faint, high-pitched cry of terror when your older brother takes out the lawn mower(割草机)?
Ariel Novoplansky, an ecologist in Israel, is studying how plants communicate with each other. To listen in, he set up a kind of telephone game among plants in his lab. Experiment used pea plants standing in rows of containers. The center plant in each row was the target: Scientists would stress out that plant and see whether the plants on either side of it picked up any alarm signals.
The pea plants had been grown with two main roots. On one side of the stressed plant, each plant had one root in its own pot and the other reaching into a neighbor’s pot. The central plant connected to its closest neighbor, which connected to another neighbor, and so on down the line. On the other side of the stressed plant, all the plants kept their roots in their own pots unconnected to their neighbors. Then the scientists dried up the soil of the central target plant, creating a drought.
Within 15 minutes, the dried-out plant reacted the same way it would in nature: it had closed up the tiny pores(气孔) on its leaves to save water. What’s amazing is that the central plant’s closest neighbor with connected roots had also closed up its leaf pores. And after an hour, the message had traveled down the whole row of connected plants. On the other side of the pea chain, where the plants’ roots weren’t connected, all their pores stayed open. This means the warning signal traveled from the stressed plant’s roots through the soil.
Dried-out roots aren’t the only talkative plant parts scientists have discovered. When sugar maple trees are damaged, they send signals through the air telling their neighbors to produce bad-tasting chemicals. When caterpillars chew on corn leaves, nearby corn plants also make more self-defense molecules(分子). The plants around us may not be speaking with any volume, but they are saying plenty.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To make a prediction. B. To raise a discussion.
C. To develop a theory. D. To introduce a research.
29. How did Novoplansky conduct his experiment?
A. By stressing out the target plant.
B. By sending alarming signals to plants.
C. By growing pea plants with different roots.
D. By drying out the soil of the plants in rows.
30. What do we know about the pea plants according to the text?
A. They are able to communicate with the gardeners.
B. They send warning signals to others through the air.
C. They close up their leaf pores as a stress reaction.
D. They are the most talkative plants found by scientists.
31. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A science journal.
C. A gardening guide. D. A business magazine.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了以色列生态学家阿里尔·诺沃普兰斯基用豌豆进行的一项实验。实验发现，当一株豌豆缺水的时候，与之根系相连的其他豌豆也会出现相同的应激反应。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Maybe you’ve wondered what you would hear if plants could speak. A stream of gossip from the roses? Wise whispering from the branches of an old tree? A faint, high-pitched cry of terror when your older brother takes out the lawn mower(割草机)? (也许你想知道如果植物会说话，你会听到什么。玫瑰花上的流言蜚语？从一棵老树的树枝上发出睿智的低语？当你哥哥拿出割草机时，一声微弱而尖锐的恐怖呼喊？)”可知，作者以玫瑰、古树、草地为例，假设如果植物会说话，我们能听到什么，从而引出下文有关植物之间是如何传递信息的研究。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The center plant in each row was the target: Scientists would stress out that plant and see whether the plants on either side of it picked up any alarm signals. (每一排的中心植物都是目标：科学家会对该植物进行压力测试，看看它两侧的植物是否收到了任何警报信号。)”可知，科学家诺沃普兰斯基主要是通过对目标植物施加压力来进行实验的。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Within 15 minutes, the dried-out plant reacted the same way it would in nature: it had closed up the tiny pores(气孔) on its leaves to save water. (在15分钟内，这种干燥的植物的反应与自然界中的反应相同：它关闭了叶子上的小孔以节约用水。)”可知，当实验室的豌豆受到干旱威胁时，会像在自然环境里一样，关闭叶子上的气孔以节约水分，这是它们的一种应激反应。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Ariel Novoplansky, an ecologist in Israel, is studying how plants communicate with each other.( 以色列生态学家Ariel Novoplansky正在研究植物如何相互交流。)”可知，这篇文章介绍了一项有关植物之间如何交流的实验，因此它应该来自于一本科学期刊。故选B。
D
Strawberry shortcake. Strawberry mochi. Strawberries a la mode. These may sound like springtime treats. But in Japan, the strawberry crop peaks in wintertime－a freezing season of superb berries. To recreate an artificial spring in the winter months, farmers grow their out- of-season delicacies in huge greenhouses heated with giant, gas-consuming heaters.
The swing has made strawberry farming much more energy intensive. “We looked at all aspects, including transport, or what it takes to produce fertilizer－even then, heating had the biggest footprint,” said Naoki Yoshikawa, a researcher, who led the produce emissions study.
Examples like these complicate the idea of eating locally, namely the idea embraced by some environmentally conscious shoppers of buying food that was produced relatively close by. They did this in part to cut down on the fuel and pollution associated with transportation. However, according to Miller, a professor at the University of Michigan, transportation of food often has less climate impact than the way it is produced. “It’s ideal if you can eat both in-season, and locally,” she said, “so your food is produced without having to add major energy consumption.”
In Japan, the energy required to grow strawberries in winter hasn’t proven to be just a climate burden. It has also made strawberry production expensive, particularly as fuel costs have risen, hurting farmers’ bottom lines. Research and development of berry varieties, as well as fancy branding, has helped ease some of those pressures. Strawberry varieties in Japan are now sold with fancy names like Beni Hoppe (“red cheeks,”) and (“Bijin Hime beautiful princess”), helping farmers fetch higher prices. The most picture-perfect ones have even sold hundreds of dollars to be given as special gifts.
Tochigi, north of Tokyo, has been developing a new variety of strawberry called Tochiaika, which produces a higher yield from the same inputs, making growing them more energy-efficient. Researchers in Sendai have been exploring ways to employ solar power to keep the temperature inside strawberry greenhouses warm. Strawberry farmer Ms. Yoshimura is working to gain local recognition for her “unheated strawberries. It would be nice,” she said, “if we could just make strawberries when it’s natural to.”
32. What makes the strawberry crop peak in winter?
A. Solar power. B. Low temperature.
C. Industrial heating. D. Global warming.
33. What might Miller think of some shoppers’ eco-friendly attempt?
A. It’s useless. B. It’s insufficient.
C. It’s ideal. D. It’s harmful.
34. How does the Japan strawberry industry respond to the rising production cost?
A. It reduces investment in branding.
B. It raises the prices of strawberries.
C. It adjusts the strawberry growing season.
D. It slows down the development of varieties.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Benefits from organic farming.
B. New studies of strawberry varieties.
C. Attitudes towards energy consumption.
D. Efforts to conserve energy in production.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍日本农业利用燃烧煤油的温室，逆转了草莓自然生长季节，在冬季培育出了高品质草莓。然而，人们要为食用这些最早、最好的浆果付出高昂的成本。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“To recreate an artificial spring in the winter months, farmers grow their out-of-season delicacies in huge greenhouses heated with giant, gas-consuming heaters.(为了在冬季重现人工春天，农民们在巨大的温室里种植反季节美食，温室里用巨大的耗气加热器加热。)”可知，农民们通过在装有巨大高油耗的加热器的温室里展开种植，来实现在冬天培育草莓。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, according to Miller, a professor at the University of Michigan, transportation of food often has less climate impact than the way it is produced. “It’s ideal if you can eat both in-season, and locally,” she said, “so your food is produced without having to add major energy consumption.”(然而，密歇根大学教授米勒表示，食品运输对气候的影响通常比生产方式小。她说：“如果你既能在当季吃，又能在当地吃，那就太理想了，这样你的食物就可以在不增加主要能源消耗的情况下生产出来。”)”可知，这些消费者只做到了食用当地产的食物，而忽略了要食用当季的农产品，所以一些购物者的环保尝试做的还是不够的。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Strawberry varieties in Japan are now sold with fancy names like Beni Hoppe (“red cheeks,”) and (“Bijin Hime beautiful princess”), helping farmers fetch higher prices.(日本的草莓品种现在以Beni Hoppe（“红脸颊”）和Bijin Hime（“美丽的公主”）等花哨的名字出售，帮助农民获得更高的价格。)”可知，日本草莓产业通过研究和开发草莓品种，以及精心打造品牌，有效帮助农民提高了草莓价格，从而缓解了生产成本上升带来的压力。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Tochigi, north of Tokyo, has been developing a new variety of strawberry called Tochiaika, which produces a higher yield from the same inputs, making growing them more energy-efficient. Researchers in Sendai have been exploring ways to employ solar power to keep the temperature inside strawberry greenhouses warm. Strawberry farmer Ms. Yoshimura is working to gain local recognition for her “unheated strawberries. It would be nice,” she said, “if we could just make strawberries when it’s natural to.”(东京北部的Tochigi一直在开发一种名为Tochiaika的新品种草莓，这种草莓在相同的投入下产量更高，使种植更节能。仙台的研究人员一直在探索如何利用太阳能来保持草莓温室内的温度。草莓种植者Yoshimura女士正在努力为她的“未加热”草莓赢得当地的认可。“如果我们能在自然的时候产出草莓，那就太好了，”她说)”可知，最后一段介绍了三种日本当地草莓产业的新实践：栃木市在开发一种在相同投入条件下产量更高的草莓新品种，从而提高了种植的能源效率；仙台的研究人员一直在探索利用太阳能来保持草莓温室内温暖的方法；草莓种植农户吉村女士研发出无需在煤油加热的温室种植草莓的技术。这三种实践的共同之处在于，他们均在努力减少草莓种植过程中的能源消耗，即：本段主要讲的是在草莓生产中努力节约能源，故选D。

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。
We all know there’s good cholesterol (胆固醇) and bad cholesterol. ____36____ A better understanding of them will give us health benefits.
Good fat is medically known as “brown fat”, typically found in the neck and shoulders of newborns. It makes up about 5 percent of an infant’s total body mass. ____37____ By age six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with. Researchers now believe that some people maintain brown fat deposits into adulthood. As a “good” kind, it is metabolically (新陈代谢地) efficient and actually burns excess energy to generate heat.
____38____ It is a way for your body to store excess energy that accumulates when you consume more calories than you use. It is widely distributed throughout the body. And it doesn’t use much energy, is hard to burn off, accumulates, and causes other health problems.
The fat we gain over time is almost all white fat. The increasing level of white fat is one of the major causes of shortened life spans and chronic diseases. Thus, increasing the level of brown fat makes sense.

【导语】本文是说明文。长期以来，脂肪一直被认为是危害人体健康，引发各类疾病的罪魁祸首。但实际上脂肪也有好坏之分：一种是不招人待见的白色脂肪，即我们常说的“肥肉”，它在不断地存储热量；另一种则是棕色脂肪，它的主要功能是生热，能帮助人体消耗更多的能量，加速机体新陈代谢。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】
根据上文“It makes up about 5 percent of an infant’s total body mass. (它约占婴儿总体重的5%。)”和下文“By age six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with. (到六岁时，我们的棕色脂肪还不到我们出生时的5%。)”可知，随着年龄的增长，我们会失去很多棕色脂肪。选项B“随着年龄的增长，我们失去了大部分棕色脂肪。”和上下文意思一致。故选B。
【38题详解】
根据下文“It is a way for your body to store excess energy that accumulates when you consume more calories than you use. It is widely distributed throughout the body. And it doesn’t use much energy, is hard to burn off, accumulates, and causes other health problems. (这是你的身体储存多余能量的一种方式，当你消耗的热量超过你使用的热量时，这些能量就会积累起来。它广泛分布在全身。而且它不消耗太多能量，很难燃烧、积累，还会导致其他健康问题。)”可知，下文介绍的是白色脂肪的坏处。选项E“但是白色脂肪被认为起到了相反的作用。”和下文意思一致。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Researchers have also found methods that may help people gain brown fat without the need for cold. (研究人员还发现了一些方法，可以帮助人们在不需要感冒的情况下获得棕色脂肪。)”可知，接下来要介绍增加棕色脂肪的方法。选项A“你可以从你吃的食物中增加脂肪。”和上文意思一致。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Though it is helpful to increase brown fat, some scientists think they will learn how to keep stores of brown fat as large and active throughout adulthood as its stores are in infancy. (尽管增加棕色脂肪是有帮助的，但一些科学家认为，他们将学会如何在整个成年期保持棕色脂肪的储存量和婴儿期数量一样大和活跃。)”可知，这里提到我们要保持棕色脂肪的数量和婴儿期数量一样大就可以了。选项G“目标是保持棕色脂肪，而不是重新创造。”和上文意思一致。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文为记叙文。文章主要介绍了羌绣特点，以及羌绣大师陈云珍为传承与发扬这一中华传统文化所做的努力。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它可以追溯到汉代，当时它被用于服装。空处引导非限制性定语，先行词是Han Dynasty，代替先行词在从句中时间状语，应用关系副词when。故填when。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：通常由女性操作，其特点是大胆使用鲜艳的颜色，并使用多种针法。空处为句子谓语动词，陈述客观事实，且主语是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填features。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意：随着当地旅游业的发展，来自四川北川的羌族刺绣大师陈云珍决定将刺绣作为一个品牌来推广，以吸引更多的游客。master“大师”是可数名词的单数形式，此处为泛指，应添加不定冠词，且该词的发音是辅音音素开头，故填a。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意：许多当地妇女在陈的大力鼓励下，开始通过羌绣谋生。修饰动词encouraged应用副词，作状语。故填greatly。
【60题详解】
考查不定式。句意：为了阻止这种濒危技术的消失，她于2014年成立了一个研讨会，自那以来，该研讨会已为20000多人提供了免费培训。in an effort to do sth意为“努力做某事”，是固定短语，不定式作后置定语。故填to stop。
【61题详解】
考查时态。句意同上。空处为定语从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语ever since判断用现在完成时，主语that指代先行词workshop，为单数概念，故助动词用has。故填has provided。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：为了给羌族刺绣注入新的活力，陈继续保持开放的心态，推出了个性化的配饰、笔记本和包包等新产品，并将金属制品和羌族刺绣相结合，打造出越来越受年轻消费者欢迎的耳环、戒指和项链。结合句意表达“给……注入活力”用breathe new life into。故填into。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析可知，空处应填非谓语动词和上文introducing并列作状语，逻辑主语Chen和combine之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故填combining。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意同7小题。空处应填名词作enjoy的宾语，popularity“欢迎”符合句意，不可数。故填popularity。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：羌族没有书面语言，因此羌族刺绣必须得到很好的保存和发展，作为维持其文化的努力的一部分。修饰名词language，表示“书面的”应用形容词written作定语。故填written。

67. 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。
As the bell was about to ring, our teacher announced a special assignment for next Monday: to share our gratitude for someone instead of giving a daily report. Hearing this, anxiety crawled over my body as the last thing I would do was speaking in front of the entire class! I couldn’t help complaining to my best friend Jenny.
“You are the chief violinist in our school orchestra aren’t you?” she said. “So what’s the point of being afraid of speaking to a few our own classmates since you can handle acting in front of a large audience?”
Her point made sense, but being in a performance meant being part of a team. I shook my head. Besides, there were so many people I was grateful to, and choosing just one seemed difficult. Even if I could pick someone, I wouldn’t know how to say thank you. And even if I figured out what to say, I was sure I’d stumble(结巴地说) on my words when speaking aloud! Standing there, with everyone’s eyes on me, I would feel the spot light was wholly on me, and there would be no place for me to hide! “Oh no!” I covered my face with my hands and said, “I can’t do it, just can’t!” Real friends, the ones who know you well, don’t just do exactly what you ask. Jenny, always supportive and helpful, wrote something on a piece of paper and gently removed my hands from my face. She had drawn a cute cat with the word “CALM” written below it.
“Nice meeting you; I am the ‘everything will be fine’ cat,” Jenny laughed and sounded exactly like a cat. Pretending to listen to the cat, she asked, “Well, kitty, you think my friend should come to my house tomorrow, so we can prepare our speeches together I laughed out loud and relaxed a lot. I have to say Jenny was there for me, always!”
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。
The next day, I went to Jenny’s house.

Before the speech, however, I changed my mind and wrote “Jenny” on the blackboard.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】[参考范文]
The next day, I went to Jenny’s house. I asked her curiously who she would pick to talk about. “My grandma!” she blurted out. “What about you?” I fell silent. Sensing my embarrassment, Jenny looked at me with an encouraging smile. Then she suggested I talk about my mom, helping me patiently organize my thoughts into reasonable and heartfelt sentences. After that, we took turns to rehearse our speeches to polish the expressions. By the end of the day, I felt more prepared and confident for Monday’s work.
Before the speech, however, I changed my mind and wrote “Jenny” on the blackboard. Taking a deep breath, I began sharing my gratitude for Jenny’s constant support and genuine friendship. As I spoke, I kept my eyes on Jenny. I could see her widened eyes at first, and then a big smile. With the courage and confidence she had helped me build, the terrifying assignment finally turned into an “everything will be fine” success! As I finished speaking, she gave me a bear hug, while thunderous applause echoing in the classroom.
