At around 4: 30 a. m., Daniel woke up suddenly, to a blood-curdling scream coming from his parents’ room. It was his mother, Mirian, who was unable to keep her composure due to the fact that her husband, Francisco, Daniel’s father, suddenly went into cardiac arrest（心搏停止）with no prior medical conditions.
As he lay unresponsive, with no pulse and appearing lifeless, Mirian, who was trained in CPR, knew that she had to act but was frozen in fear. “I kept yelling at the top of my lungs, ‘Daniel, your father, your father, he needs CPR, ’,” Mirian said. “I could barely dial 911 with my hands shaking so violently.”
It was young Daniel who kept his composure, softly telling his mother to calm down and “let’s just do this”. Within seconds he started performing CPR on his father.
For three to five minutes, Daniel cupped his hands and repeatedly did quick compressions while blowing into Francisco’s mouth until emergency personnel arrived on the scene with police.
But according to Daniel, he had zero training or remembrance of how he actually came to know how to do this other than from clips on TV that he saw from time to time.
“I can’t really recall any specific TV programs where I learned this and can’t even picture in my head how it went down, ’’he said. “All I know is that it was something I had to do to save my dad. ”
When Francisco finally arrived by ambulance to LYH-Cedar Crest, Patel began examining Francisco’s heart and found an abnormal heart muscle that most likely caused the cardiac arrest. He implanted a small device to Francisco’s chest so the heart could restart. Should it ever happen again? He explained how important Daniel’s CPR was and his quick actions saved his father’s life. Patel added that up to 300, 000 cardiac arrest victims are treated annually with less than 10 percent of victims surviving. However, they can be reduced if we were all to learn CPR and acted like Daniel did.
24．What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?
A．Duty. B．Calmness.
C．Fear. D．Advantage.
25．How did Mirian respond to her husband’s sudden cardiac arrest?
A．She dialed 911 calmly.
B．She rushed to Daniel’s room to wake him up.
C．She knew nothing about CPR.
D．She shouted loudly to ask her son for help.
26．Which statement is true about Daniel?
A．He picked up CPR from TV.
B．He received some training about CPR from his mother.
C．He would save more people like his father with CPR.
D．He was highly thought of by his doctor Patel for his quick actions.
27．According to Patel, what can be inferred?
A．Francisco’s cardiac arrest wouldn’t happen again with the small device implanted.
B．Less than 30, 000 cardiac arrest victims are cured annually.
C．More people should learn CPR to make a difference in saving lives.
D．Francisco’s cardiac arrest was caused by an abnormal heart muscle.
C
The truest explanation of recycling involves taking a material, melting(融化) it down, and turning it back into itself over and over. This can be done with glass and metal, which can both be remelted and reformed into bottles or cans forever. This is a closed-loop(闭环) system, so it’s very desirable. On the other hand, some materials slowly degrade(降解) over time, meaning they can be reformed maybe once or twice, but after a while the chemical composition of the original substance has changed and it can no longer be turned back into what it once was. This is called downcycling(降级回收).
The downcycling of plastic is one of the serious issues surrounding this material. For example, plastic water or soda bottles are seldom turned back into bottles. The other is the fact that plastic never biodegrades(生物降解). Many materials newspaper included, will biodegrade at the end of their lives. When paper enters the environment, given exposure to the air, it breaks down, leaving the world undamaged. Plastic, on the other hand, photodegrades(光降解), and this is very concerning. As discussed earlier, in the process of photodegrading, wind, sun, and water break plastic down into smaller and smaller particles(颗粒) that will cause great damage to the ocean ecosystem.
Finally, there is concern about heating food in plastic containers. Avoid reheating food in plastic containers in the microwave, and stop covering food with plastic wrap. Storing cool food in plastic containers isn’t as big a concern, but avoid heating food and plastic together to eliminate the possibility of plastic into your food.
So the disadvantages to plastic are that it can’t really be recycled in the true meaning of the term, it will never disappear from our environment because it can’t biodegrade, and it is a vehicle to deliver dangerous chemicals into our food chains.
28．What is a satisfying recycling system?
A．It’s easy to find alternative metals. B．Its process is an open-loop system.
C．Materials can be reused over and again. D．Composition of materials can be changed.
29．What is probably the major concern of photodegradation of plastics?
A．The threat to oceans. B．The impact on foods.
C．The process of breaking down. D．The pollution of the atmosphere.
30．What does the underlined word “eliminate” mean in the third paragraph?
A．Assess. B．Remove. C．Weight. D．Reduce.
31．What is the author’s attitude to using plastic in our life?
A．Positive. B．Indifferent. C．Negative. D．Unclear.
D
It was about a year ago when a positive change in a community started.
I was in fifth grade, and at the time I wrote a paper about the migration of the monarch butterfly and received a perfect score. I was so happy. I called my grandmother, Nana, to tell her the exciting news. All of my talk about monarchs evoked memories from Nana’s childhood. “I remember when I was a girl out on the farm,” she said, “those black and orange butterflies were a common sight. But there do seem to be fewer monarchs fluttering (翩翩飞舞) around the neighborhood each summer. Perhaps we should try to find out where they’ve gone.”
Nana and I decided to investigate.
That weekend, Nana met me at the public library and we started our research. Our research produced plenty of information. The best information was this: it doesn’t take lots of money, equipment (设备), or government organizations to save the monarch butterflies; it takes only a little bit of land, and dedicated (专心致志的) people to create what’s called a Monarch Waystation. When I read this, an idea came to mind. “What if we set up our own Monarch Waystation?” I suggested.
“We will need several people to help us!” she replied.
The next week, Nana presented the idea to her garden club; I talked to my friends and neighbors. Nana’s garden club decided to plant a butterfly garden next to the city park. The library put together a display of gardening and butterfly books. The editor of the local newspaper wrote an informative article on how to make our community monarch-friendly. As spring turned into summer, those volunteers also worked to weed (除杂草) and care for the public gardens. We all waited and watched to see whether our plan would work—it did work! Over twenty black and orange butterflies were noticed visiting the Waystations. As summer progressed, the monarchs grew more plentiful.
It happened on a day when the sun was shining and the sky was a deep blue. As monarchs fluttered around us, people laughed and danced; Nana cried tears of happiness. It was truly a meaningful experience.
32．What does the underlined word “evoked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Made up. B．Took away.
C．Showed off. D．Brought back.
33．What made Nana want to carry out research on the monarch butterfly?
A．The author’s personal wish.
B．The beauty of the monarch butterfly.
C．The author’s good performance in school.
D．The drop in numbers of the monarch butterfly.
34．What can we know about the Monarch Waystation?
A．It should be built in a park.
B．It can be created and used easily.
C．It needs continued support from the government.
D．It is the best way to protect the monarch butterfly.
35．How did the author’s monarch project impact the community?
A．It caused the community to miss the past.
B．It organized the community around a purpose.
C．It taught the community to use the public library.
D．It informed the community about gardening practices.

第二节 (满分 25分)
67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
I was in my 30s and my wife left me last month. I had no work and was on my way to the city center to find a job. I had no umbrellas, and I could not afford another one. I sat down in the streetcar and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle.
I examined the handle and saw a name. The usual procedure would have been to turn in the umbrella to the conductor, but somehow I decided to take it with me and find the owner myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name on the umbrella and found it. I called and a lady answered.
Yes, she said in surprise, that was her umbrella, which her parents, now dead, had given her for a birthday present. But she added, it had been stolen more than a year before. She was so excited that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, her eyes filled with tears. We talked for a while, and I must have given her my address. I didn't remember.
The next six months were tough. My last job ended the day before Christmas and my thirty-dollar rent was soon due, and I had only fifteen dollars. When I walked from the streetcar to my small apartment, the air was full of the sound of Christmas merriment. But there should be no Christmas for me. Unless a wonder happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless, jobless.
Peggy, my daughter, had proudly set our kitchen table for our evening meal and put pans out and three cans of food which would be our dinner. When I looked at those pans and cans, I felt broken-hearted. We would have only hamburgers for our Christmas dinner tomorrow. I stood in the cold little kitchen and the coldness in my heart was colder than ice.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
The doorbell suddenly rang and Peggy ran quickly to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus (圣诞老人).

Paragraph 2:
Our dinner that night was the most delicious I had ever eaten.

2．C
W: Excuse me, sir. May I see your ticket, please?

W: For what couldn’t they stand the house?
M: Well, you know the airport was so close to their house that they couldn’t sleep well because of the noise from the planes. Mr. Brown took sleeping pills every night until the doctor told him that he was at high risk for heart disease.

W: Well, they are giving you the chance to eat healthier food. Also, you should lose a few pounds and this might help.

24．词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“a blood-curdling scream”和第二段中的“was frozen in fear”可知，Daniel的母亲在面对丈夫心搏突然停止的情况时，惊慌失措，大声尖叫，并没有保持冷静。由此可推知，画线单词意为“冷静”。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“...kept yelling at the top of my lungs, ‘Daniel, your father, your father, he needs CPR, ’...”可知，当丈先突然停止的时候，Mirian只会尖叫着让儿子来帮忙。故选D。
26．细节理解题。根据第五段“...he had zero training or remembrance of how he actually came to know how to do this other than from clips on TV that he saw from time to time. ”可知，Daniel是通过电视中的片段学到CPR的，并没有经过正规的培训。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“However, they can be reduced if we were all to learn CPR and acted like Daniel did. ”可知，Patel 认为，如果大家都学会CPR的话，那么死于心搏停止的人就会减少。由此可推知，为了挽救心搏停止的人的生命，更多的人应该学习CPR。故选C。
28．C 29．A 30．B 31．C
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“The truest explanation of recycling involves taking a material, melting(融化) it down, and turning it back into itself over and over. This can be done with glass and metal, which can both be remelted and reformed into bottles or cans forever. This is a closed-loop(闭环) system, so it’s very desirable.”（对回收最真实的解释是取一种材料，把它熔化，然后反复地把它变回原来的样子。玻璃和金属可以实现，它们都可以被重新熔化，永远改造成瓶子或罐子。这是一个闭环系统，所以非常理想）可知，材料可以反复使用是令人满意的回收系统。故选C项。
29．细节理解。根据第二段“Plastic, on the other hand, photodegrades(光降解), and this is very concerning. As discussed earlier, in the process of photodegrading, wind, sun, and water break plastic down into smaller and smaller particles(颗粒) that will cause great damage to the ocean ecosystem.”（另一方面，塑料光降解，是非常令人担忧的。如前所述，在光降解过程中，风、太阳和水将塑料分解成越来越小的颗粒，这将对海洋生态系统造成巨大的破坏）可知，塑料光降解的主要问题是对海洋造成危害。故选A项。
30．词句猜测题。根据“Storing cool food in plastic containers isn’t as big a concern, but avoid heating food and plastic together to eliminate the possibility of plastic into your food.”（在塑料容器中储存冷的食物不是一个大问题，但避免将食物和塑料一起加热，以eliminate塑料进入你的食物的可能性）可知，避免将食物和塑料一起加热的目的是为了消除塑料进入你的食物的可能性。故划线词的意思是“消除”。故选B项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“So the disadvantages to plastic are that it can’t really be recycled in the true meaning of the term, it will never disappear from our environment because it can’t biodegrade, and it is a vehicle to deliver dangerous chemicals into our food chains.”（所以塑料的缺点是，它不能真正的回收利用，它永远不能从我们的环境中消失，因为它不能生物降解，它是一个将危险的化学物质送入我们的食物链的载体）判断出，作者对在我们的生活中使用塑料是持否定态度的。故选C项。
32．D 33．D 34．B 35．B
32．词义猜测题。根据画线词下句““I remember when I was a girl out on the farm,” she said, “those black and orange butterflies were a common sight.”可知，这里讲述的是祖母的回忆，当祖母还是个女孩的时候，在农场上那些蝴蝶很常见。由此可推断出，画线词所在句讲述的是我关于帝王蝶的话“唤起了”祖母童年的回忆，“Brought back”意为“使记起，带回来”，符合句意。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“But there do seem to be fewer monarchs fluttering (翩翩飞舞) around the neighborhood each summer. Perhaps we should try to find out where they’ve gone.”可知，祖母说现在每年夏天附近的帝王蝶似乎确实少了，所以她认为我们应该找出它们去了哪里。再结合第三段内容“Nana and I decided to investigate.”可知，我和祖母决定调查一下。由此可知，是因为帝王蝶数量的下降，所以祖母才想对帝王蝶进行研究。故选D项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“The best information was this: it doesn’t take lots of money, equipment (设备), or government organizations to save the monarch butterflies; it takes only a little bit of land, and dedicated (专心致志的) people to create what’s called a Monarch Waystation.”可知，拯救帝王蝶不需要太多的资金、设备或政府组织，它只需要一点点土地，和专心致志的人去创建Monarch Waystation。再根据倒数第二段关键句“Over twenty black and orange butterflies were noticed visiting the Waystations.”可知，Monarch Waystation确实起作用了，它吸引了帝王蝶。由此可知，Monarch Waystation可以很容易地创建和使用。故选B项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段内容可知，为了建造Monarch Waystation，整个社区的人都行动起来了。例如，图书馆把园艺和蝴蝶书陈列在一起，志愿者们除草和照看公共花园等。再结合最后一段关键句“As monarchs fluttered around us, people laughed and danced”可知，当帝王蝶在我们身边飞舞时，人们非常高兴。由此可推断出，作者关于帝王蝶的计划围绕着同一个目标，把整个社区组织在一起了。故选B项。

39．根据上文“Work, room by room. Breaking down the de-cluttering process into small steps is a smart idea.(工作，一个房间接一个房间。将整理过程分解成小步骤是一个聪明的主意)”以及后文“This may be the messiest or the room you spend the most time in the house. Go through everything you have in this area slowly, which will serve as a source of inspiration for the rest of your home once you’ve finished the first room.(这可能是最乱的房间，或者是你在房子里待的时间最长的房间。慢慢地浏览你在这个区域的所有东西，一旦你完成了第一个房间，这将成为你家里其他地方的灵感来源)”可知，上文提到把整理分解成小步骤，后文则说“可能是最乱的房间，或者是你在房子里待的时间最长的房间”，可知本句是在说明整理的第一步是清理最麻烦的地方。故D选项“选择给你带来最大麻烦的空间”符合语境，故选D。
40．根据上文“Final reflections. Keep in mind, simplicity requires patience and effort. Minimalism had to be born, not out of a short-lived idea or longing for a new lifestyle, but from a sincere desire and strong need to rethink our lives.(最后的反思。记住，简单需要耐心和努力。极简主义必须诞生，不是出于一种短暂的想法或对新生活方式的渴望，而是出于一种真诚的愿望和对重新思考我们生活的强烈需求)”可知，上文是在阐释极简主义的意义，本句为本段最后一句，应对极简主义进行一个基本总结，故G选项“基本目标是过一种平静的、没有压力的生活”符合语境，故选G。

66．Dear Kenton,
I’ve received your letter. From your letter, I know that you are worried about your scores because you always make mistakes in exams. However, you should remember that even the best student can make mistakes sometimes, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
As far as I am concerned, learning from your mistakes in past exams is a quick way to stop making the same mistakes next time. To begin with, if there are questions that can’t be solved by yourself, you should turn to your teachers or classmates for help. What’s more, during the exams you’d better make a good plan to distribute your time according to the questions. Besides, try to leave a few minutes at the end to check your answers.
Enjoy the challenge that each new exam brings to you. I believe a good learning habit will finally help you gain success.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67．The doorbell suddenly rang and Peggy ran quickly to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. Then I heard a man talking heartily to her, so I went to the door. He was a deliver man and his arms were full of parcels. “This is a mistake,” I said, but he read the name on the parcels and they were for me. When he had gone, I could only stare at the boxes. Peggy and I sat on the floor and opened them. A huge doll gloves. Candy. A beautiful leather purse. Incredible! I looked for the name of the sender. It was the lady.
Our dinner that night was the most delicious I had ever eaten. I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my purse and no job. My child and I ate and laughed together in happiness. We decorated the small Christmas tree with the gifts that we received. Then Peggy fell asleep. Looking at her, I felt a sweet peace flooding me. I had some hope again.
