第一节(共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
A
The best places to see giant pandas are of course, in Chengdu, hometown of giant pandas. But there are zoos/parks in other China cities where you can see giant pandas if you can’t get to Chengdu.
Dujiangyan Panda Base
●Location: Dujiangyan Prefecture, 67 km(41 mi)or 1.5 hours from Chengdu
●Pandas: about 20
●Activities: panda viewing, and panda keeper program
●Suitable for: those who want a less-crowded panda base or to join in a one-day volunteer program

推理判断题。根据文章Chongqing Zoo部分“Located in the “Mountain City”, Chongqing Zoo is built on the mountain slopes. The panda house utilizes the mountainside and includes a rock cave. So, you have to climb up a little for a panda visit there.(重庆动物园位于“山城”，建在山坡上，熊猫馆利用山坡，并有着岩洞，因此，你必须攀爬才能观察熊猫。)”可知，更喜欢参观重庆动物园的人是一个喜欢爬山的人，故选C。
B
When you hear the word “birthmark”, you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it’s different — I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I’m used to being asked, “What are those black marks on your lips?” When I tell people they’re birthmarks, they usually say, “That’s strange.” I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks.
In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips so I wouldn’t have to deal with people’s questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic(基因的) condition from my mom’s side of the family. My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom’s uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have a procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.
My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.
Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks” and smile without pursing my lips.
4. How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks?
A. She felt excited to show her difference.
B. She felt annoyed to give others an answer.
C. She was scared to be made fun of by people.
D. She was bored to be faced with the question.
5. Who has the similar birthmarks like the author?
A. Her mother. B. Her grandmother.
C. Her cousin. D. Her uncle.
6. What can be inferred about the author’s cousin?
A. She dislikes talking about her birthmark.
B. She never judges others by their looks.
C. She is more confident than the author.
D. She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.
7. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Brilliant. B. Apparent.
C. Harmful. D. Impressive.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者嘴唇和嘴里都有胎记。在作者成长的过程中，人们总是问她嘴上的黑斑是什么，作者为此搞得筋疲力尽。在表姐的启发下，作者终于接受了自己的身份。现在当人们问起她的时候，她会毫不犹豫地说“他们是美的印记”。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips so I wouldn’t have to deal with people’s questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them”(在照片中，我常常撅起嘴巴来掩饰我的胎记。这样我就不必面对别人的问题了。随着我长大，人们会因为胎记把我搞得筋疲力尽。)可知，作者照相时掩饰嘴上的胎记就是为避免人们的问题，人们反复问这个问题，导致作者感到厌倦，心情不好，故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For me, it’s different-I have them on my lips and inside my mouth”(对于我而言，这是不同的-我嘴唇上和嘴巴里面都有胎记。)可知，作者的胎记在嘴唇上和嘴巴里，再结合第三段中的“My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips”(我外祖母嘴唇上也有胎记)可知，作者的外祖母也有胎记在嘴唇上，所以作者和外祖母有相似的胎记，故选B。
3.推理判断题。依据第四段中的“My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance”(我表姐也面临同样的挑战。她有一块巨大的胎记占据她的整个手臂。她从来没试着掩盖胎记，或者是改变自己的外表。)和第五段中的“Inspired by my cousin”(受表姐的鼓舞)可知，作者的表姐比作者自信，故选C。
4.词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often...she wouldn’t be such a person as she is”(建议她应该多穿长袖......她不会是这样的人。)可知，表姐的奶奶想让她用长袖衣衫遮挡住胎记，因为她觉得胎记太明显了，与B项“Apparent”(明显的)符合，A. Brilliant杰出的；C. Harmful有害的；D. Impressive给人印象深刻的。故选B。
C
A fourth color might be added to traffic lights to better realize the potential of self-driving vehicles, as stated in a recent paper by researchers at North Carolina State University in the US.
Self-driving vehicles can do more than just drive—they are able to sense their surroundings and upload information. The added white lights would be used to signal to human drivers that autonomous vehicles are managing the upcoming traffic flow intelligently. “The white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the autonomous vehicle in front of them.” one of the study authors Ali Hajbabaie told the university’s website.
Simulated(模拟的)models showed that autonomous vehicles were able to improve traffic flow on their own. Introducing the white light also has a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption. The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at a crossing, the faster the traffic moves, reducing about 40 to 99 percent of the total delay time.
As self-driving technology thrives, much infrastructure(基础设施)is needed. To begin with, the vehicle’s network that collects data about the environment and shares the data with other vehicles needs to be intelligent. High-precision maps are needed for autonomous vehicles to plan routes in detail. They can provide both updated information on traditional maps and real-time changes, such as accidents. For example, when driving around a curve, the navigation(导航)system in the vehicle needs to calculate the safe speed based on the map’s information. And if the area is foggy, the network has to alarm the other cars to slow down.
8. What is the purpose of adding a white light to traffic lights?
A. To warn self-driving cars to stop. B. To signal human drivers to pass the cars ahead.
C. To help driverless cars assess traffic conditions. D. To tell human drivers to go after the cars in front.
9. What effect would the introduction of self-driving cars bring about?
A. Increased road safety. B. Less time stuck in traffic.
C. Reduced fuel efficiency. D. Unpredictable traffic patterns.
10. What is the function of high-precision maps in self-driving technology?
A. To calculate a safe speed for vehicles. B. To provide real-time weather updates.
C. To reduce the risk of traffice accidents. D. To offer real-time data on road conditions.
11. What is the best title for this text
A. Innovating the Future. B. Lighting up the Way.
C. Overcoming the Obstacles. D. Going for Driverless Vehicles.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国北卡罗莱纳州立大学的研究人员在最近的一篇论文中指出，交通信号灯可能会增加第四种颜色，以更好地发挥自动驾驶汽车的潜力。文章介绍了第四种颜色的作用以及自动驾驶汽车对交通的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The added white lights would be used to signal to human drivers that autonomous vehicles are managing the upcoming traffic flow intelligently. “The white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the autonomous vehicle in front of them.” (新增的把灯会向人类驾驶员发出信号，表明自动驾驶车俩昂正在智能应对即将到来的车流。“白灯可以告诉人类的驾驶员，只要跟着前面的车走就行了”。)”可知，增加白灯的目的是为了告知驾驶员跟着前面的车走，故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Simulated(模拟的)models showed that autonomous vehicles were able to improve traffic flow on their own. Introducing the white light also has a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption. The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at a crossing, the faster the traffic moves, reducing about 40 to 99 percent of the total delay time.(模拟模型显示，自动驾驶汽车能够自行改善交通状况，增设白灯对降低油耗也起了积极作用。在十字路口，自动驾驶车辆所占的比例越高，车辆移动速度就越快，可以减少40%到99%的总拥堵时间。)”可知，自动驾驶汽车的引入可以减少汽车拥堵的时间，故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“High-precision maps are needed for autonomous vehicles to plan routes in detail. They can provide both updated information on traditional maps and real-time changes, such as accidents.(自动驾驶汽车需要高精确地图来详细规划路线。它们既可以提供传统地图上的更新信息，也可以提供事故等实时变化。)”可知，高精确地图在自动驾驶技术中的作用是提供道路状况的实时数据，故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文以及文章第一段“A fourth color might be added to traffic lights to better realize the potential of self-driving vehicles, as stated in a recent paper by researchers at North Carolina State University in the US.(美国北卡罗莱纳州立大学的研究人员在最近的一篇论文中指出，第四种颜色可能会被添加到红绿灯中，以更好地发挥自动驾驶汽车的潜力。)”可知，美国北卡罗莱纳州立大学的研究人员在最近的一篇论文中指出，交通信号灯可能会增加第四种颜色，以更好地发挥自动驾驶汽车的潜力。文章介绍了第四种颜色的作用以及自动驾驶汽车对交通的影响。故D项“转向无人驾驶汽车”为最佳标题，故选D。
D
Have you ever sat in hospital bed with the doctors around talking about you as though you didn’t exist? Research into patients’ view of healthcare has shown that this is common. This behaviour gets to the root of how patients evaluate the quality of care they receive.
While doctors like to focus on treatment outcomes, this isn’t how the public assess whether their doctor is good. Research has consistently shown that most patients evaluate their experiences on how polite the doctor was, not on the actual quality of medicine practised.
My mum, for example, recently started losing her sight. She went for an urgent appointment with an eye specialist at her local NHS hospital. When I telephoned her that evening to see how it went, she replied, “Oh, they were all so lovely and kind.” In fact, the clinic was running late and she’d had to wait an hour to see the nurse, and three hours to see the consultant. From a medical perspective, the consultation clearly hadn’t been a success. While they’d ruled out emergency causes for her sight loss, they hadn’t really got to the bottom of the problem. She was now back at home, still unable to see properly and with no idea if she was going to go permanently blind. But what mattered to her was that a nurse had met her at the door and took her to her seat. They’d asked about how the loss of sight had impacted on her life, so my mum felt she had received good care simply because the doctors and nurses had listened to her.
Patients don’t evaluate the actual medicine; it’s the communication skills of the doctor or the nurse that determine how they evaluate the care. If doctors or nurses listened to their patients, that means we can improve the NHS(英国国民健康保险制度)without spending money.
12. What do we know about the research?
A. Doctors tend to talk a lot.
B. Patients find the root of the problem.
C. Doctors undervalue patients’ subjective feeling.
D. Patients think highly of the quality of their medical treatment.
13. Why did the author’s mother praise the doctors and nurses?
A. They stayed late to find the cause. B. They cured her of her loss of sight.
C. They showed great concern for her. D. They reacted slowly to her condition.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Doctors should be good communicators.
B. Patients ought to be more understanding.
C. Communication skills are the most critical for doctors.
D. The government should invest more money in health care system.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A guidbook. B. A magazine. C. A diary. D. A novel.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出研究表明患者评价医护人员的标准不是他们得到的治疗或护理，而是可以和他们进行耐心的沟通、交流。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Have you ever sat in hospital bed with the doctors around talking about you as though you didn’t exist? Research into patients’ view of healthcare has shown that this is common. ( 你是否有这样的经历：你坐在病床上，周围的医生都在谈论你，好像你不存在一样？对患者对医疗保健的看法的研究表明，这种情况很常见)”可推知，根据研究，医生低估了病人的主观感受。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“But what mattered to her was that a nurse had met her at the door and took her to her seat. They’d asked about how the loss of sight had impacted on her life, so my mum felt she had received good care simply because the doctors and nurses had listened to her.( 但对她来说重要的是，一位护士在门口迎接她，并帮她找到座位。他们询问了失明对她生活带来的影响，我妈妈觉得她得到了很好的照顾，仅仅是因为医生和护士听了她的话)”可知，作者的妈妈赞美医生和护士是因为他们非常关心她。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Patients don’t evaluate the actual medicine; it’s the communication skills of the doctor or the nurse that determine how they evaluate the care. If doctors or nurses listened to their patients, that means we can improve the NHS(英国国民健康保险制度)without spending money.( 患者没有评估实际的治疗；医生或者护士的沟通技巧决定了他们如何评估护理。如果医生听取了患者的意见，这意味着我们可以在不花钱的情况下改善NHS)”可知，交流技能对医生是至关重要的。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Patients don’t evaluate the actual medicine; it’s the communication skills of the doctor or the nurse that determine how they evaluate the care. If doctors or nurses listened to their patients, that means we can improve the NHS(英国国民健康保险制度)without spending money.( 患者没有评估实际的治疗；医生或者护士的沟通技巧决定了他们如何评估护理。如果医生听取了患者的意见，这意味着我们可以在不花钱的情况下改善NHS)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍患者评价医护人员的标准不是他们得到的治疗或护理，而是可以和他们进行耐心的沟通、交流。因此本文应该出自一本杂志，故选B。

Did you know that it’s possible to save wet books by putting them in the freezer or refrigerator? Strange as it sounds, this simple trick can go a long way toward preserving beloved reading material that may be damaged from something as significant as flood water or as silly as knocking over a glass of water. ___16___
Make sure that the water isn’t dirty. ___17___ If a book has been soaked (浸泡) in dirty water or a colored liquid, it may be difficult to save the book. Realize, too, that the pages will never again be perfectly flat, only clear enough to read, if all goes well.
Determine the best approach to air-drying. If the book is completely soaked before freezing, don’t try to separate pages. ___18___ If possible, put a sheet of paper towel between the covers and text body. If the book is partially soaked, spread paper towel throughout the pages of the book（every 20 or so）. After an hour of drying, change the towel until most water has been absorbed.
___19___ Don’t try to separate wet pages, as they may stick and tear. Put the book in the refrigerator as soon as possible. At the same time, keep the refrigerator on its “frost-free” setting which helps to avoid the formation of large ice crystals (冰晶) in items, which can cause damage. ___20___ Once it gets frozen, it allows you to open the book and spread the pages without them sticking together.
A. Here is how to do it
B. Freeze the book immediately
C. Put the book in the refrigerator after it dries.
D. The water has to be clean, for the most part.
E. There are many ways to clean and dry a wet book
F. Leave the book in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.

42. plants 43. to reduce
44. are 45. or
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了我们不同的味觉感知能力。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：相反，你可能是一个“味觉超强的人”，一个拥有苦味基因的人。根据句意和下文“Those people who have the ‘bitter genes’...”可知句中是说“拥有苦味基因的人”，故应用介词with“有”，故填with。
【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：在美国心脏协会年会上公布的一项新研究显示，那些拥有“苦味基因”的人比其他人吃蔬菜的可能性要少2.6倍。根据句意和空格后than others可知，这里应使用形容词比较级形式，表示“吃更少的蔬菜”。故填fewer。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在美国心脏协会年会上公布的一项新研究显示，那些拥有“苦味基因”的人比其他人吃蔬菜的可能性要少2.6倍。分析句子可知空格处为非谓语动词，作后置定语修饰名词a new study，动词present“展现，公布”与其逻辑主语a new study之间有被动关系，所以应用过去分词。故填presented。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：这可以解释我们在食物偏好上的一些差异。空格前有形容词性物主代词our修饰，再结合句意可知应填入名词构成名词短语food preference，表示“食物偏好”，preference表示“偏好”为不可数名词。故填preference。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：另外25%的人被称为“无味觉者”，对他们来说，苦涩的食物可能更甜一些。分析句子可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词non-tasters。关系词代替指人的先行词non-tasters在定语从句中作介词to后的宾语，应使用关系代词whom。介词+关系代词引导的定语从句，指人，只能用whom。故填whom。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：我们其余的人对一些植物为防止被动物吃掉而产生的苦味极为敏感。此处修饰形容词sensitive，应用副词“extremely极其，非常”作状语。故填extremely。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：食品科学家正在努力寻找减少蔬菜苦味的方法。way表示“方式”时，跟动词不定式作后置定语，构成短语“way to do...做……的方式 ”。故填to reduce。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意：事实上，我们今天种植的一些蔬菜比以前甜得多。分析句子可知，空格处be动词是主句谓语动词，句中有时间状语today，应使用一般现在时态，又因主语some vegetables是可数名词复数，所以谓语动词应使用复数形式。故填are。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：我们也可以尝试使用不同的烹饪方法，通过添加一些脂肪，甜味，强烈的味道，如大蒜，或通过烘烤，以改善蔬菜的味道。此处为连词“either…or…”，连接roasting和adding，故填or。

第二节句子翻译(共5小题; 每小题3分, 满分15分)
56. 如果你方便的话，我们8点半在学校门口碰面吧。(convenient)(汉译英)
【答案】If it is convenient for you, let’s meet at 8:00 at the school gate.
【解析】
【详解】考查条件状语从句。“如果你方便的话”常用if引导条件句，表达为if it is convenient for you；“我们碰面吧”表达为let’s meet；“在8点半”表达为at 8:00；“在学校门口”表达为at the school gate。根据句意可知，if引导条件句，主句为祈使句let’s meet，at 8:00和at the school gate分别作时间状语和地点状语，此处主语为祈使句，故从句应用一般现在时，故翻译为：If it is convenient for you, let’s meet at 8:00 at the school gate。
57. 尽管我们做了充分的准备, Susan的到来还是打乱了我们的计划。(upset)(汉译英)

【答案】When absorbed in music creation, he often overlooks everything happening around him.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略和非谓语动词。分析所给中文提示词，应该用when引导的是时间状语从句，主句是“他常常会忽视掉身边发生的一切”，其中主语是“他”译为“he”，“常常”译为“often”，谓语动词是“忽视掉”译为“overlook”，描述的是一般状态，用一般现在时，“身边发生的一切”作宾语，译为“everything happening around him”，“当专注于音乐创作”为when引导的时间状语从句，主语是“他”，译为“he”，“专注于”根据题干要求，需用absorb，所以译为“is absorbed in”，“音乐创作”作宾语，译为“music creation”，又从句中主语和主句主语相同，谓语动词是be动词，所以从句中主语和谓语可省略。故译为：When absorbed in music creation, he often overlooks everything happening around him.
60. 运动对人们的益处很多，所以我们鼓励学生经常参加运动。(benefit)(汉译英)
【答案】Doing exercise brings many benefit to people, so we encourage students to exercise regularly.

【答案】Dear John,
Extremely thrilled to receive your letter saying that you want to have a deeper insight into Chinese music, I hasten to write to give you a full glimpse of Chinese music as well as my opinion about music.
Chinese traditional music dates back to the dawn of Chinese civilization with documents and artifacts providing evidence of a well-developed musical culture as early as the Zhou Dynasty. There are many kinds of music in China, the most important of which are classic music, folk music and pop music. It is known that music can not only help us be far away from stress and depression but also bring more friends from home and abroad to us, creating a more colorful and meaningful life for us. The reason why I enjoy pop music most is that apart from excitement and lovely tunes music takes to me, it is easy to learn.
Hope you have known more about Chinese music.
Yours
Li Hua
