much should you pay for two drones now?A.$120.　　　　　　　　B.$140.C.$200. D.$280.答案D解析细节理解题。根据Howmuchisit?部分中的“Theregularpriceis$200withfreeshipping.PROMOTION:Nowwith30%off!”可知,这款无人机定价200美元,现在打7折,故每架应为140美元。22.What do we know about the DroneX Pro?A.It is portable. B.It is simple. C.It is expensive. D.It is heavy.答案A解析推理判断题。根据Whatmakesthisdronesospecial?部分中的“Thedroneisthesamesizeasalargesmartphone.Itwillcomfortablyfitinanypocketorbag!”可知,这款无人机的尺寸与一部大智能手机的尺寸一样,它很容易就能装在口袋里或包里,由此可推知,它应是便携式的。23.What type of writing is this text?A.A guide. B.A review. C.An advertisement. D.An announcement.答案C解析推理判断题。根据文章的行文特点和结尾的“Nowitisthetimeforyoutostart!Don’thesitate!”可知,本文是一则推销广告。 BWhen planning a vacation,many people consider the popular tourist sites they want to visit.But that’s not what my husband and I did when we planned our vacation to Japan.We thought about the kind of farm we wanted to visit.Ours was far from a typical(典型的) vacation.We were WWOOFing!WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.The organisation connects people interested in organic farming.Volunteers,known as WWOOFers,help their hosts with daily activities.These include everything from baking bread to picking vegetables.Hosts provide volunteers with food and provide a place for them to stay.My husband and I certainly felt like family when our host met us at the train station.She told us to call her Okasan—Mum.Likewise,we called her husband Otosan—Dad.Okasan and Otosan own an organic vegetable farm that tries to provide the local people with fresh,healthy food.When no WWOOFers are around to help,the farm work is done only by Otosan and Okasan.As part of the family,we were able to enjoy the fruits of our labour at every meal.Eating fresh vegetables three times a day combined with six hours of farm work,certainly did our bodies good.We planted vegetables and cleared rocks from fields.We also packed the vegetables so they could be sold at the market.Perhaps the most challenging thing we did was weeding a rice field.It was quite challenging because the leaves and roots of the weeds look very similar to the rice.It’s not until both plants are mature(成熟的) that you can clearly tell them apart—only one produces rice.WWOOFing is unlike anything I’ve ever done before,and I can’t wait to do it again!Let’s take part in WWOOF!24.What do we know about WWOOF?A.It belongs to a Japanese farm.B.It helps the poor do farm work.C.It provides tourists with hotels.D.It is an organisation connected with farming.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“WWOOFstandsforWorldWideOpportunitiesonOrganicFarms.Theorganisationconnectspeopleinterestedinorganicfarming.”可知,世界有机农场组织是一个有关农业的组织。25.What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Okasan and Otosan’s farm?A.It benefits both the locals and WWOOFers.B.It attracts many visitors every day.C.It provides free food for the locals.D.It is supported by the government.答案A解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“OkasanandOtosanownanorganicvegetablefarmthattriestoprovidethelocalpeoplewithfresh,healthyfood.”及“Eatingfreshvegetablesthreetimesaday...certainlydidourbodiesgood.”可知,这个家庭农场对当地人和世界有机农场组织的志愿者都有益。26.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.The method of producing rice.B.The hard time of the farm family.C.The difficulties in weeding a rice field.D.The most challenging thing for WWOOF.答案C解析段落大意题。根据第四段中的“themostchallengingthingwedidwasweedingaricefield”可知,该段主要描述在有机农场干活遇到的最大挑战是在水稻地里除草。27.The author would most likely describe her WWOOFing as 　　　. A.satisfying B.worrying C.boring D.tiring答案A解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“WWOOFingisunlikeanythingI’veeverdonebefore,andIcan’twaittodoitagain!”可知,作者对她的这次有机农场经历很满意。 CResearchers have released the findings of their study involving thousands of people and 3 decades,and now you get a good reason to turn that frown upside down. Scientists combined data from their two latest large studies,one including 69,744 women and the other of 1,429 men,all of whom completed questionnaires that assessed their feelings about the future.After controlling for health conditions,factors like diet and exercise,the scientists were able to show that the most optimistic men lived an average of 10.9% longer than their more pessimistic peers(同龄人).For the women the results were more dramatic:The most optimistic(top 25%) of the group lived 14.9% longer than their peers.It’s also found that women,on average,have a better chance to live to be over 70,the team reports in the ProceedingsoftheNationalAcademyofSciences.The most optimistic males were 1.7 times more likely to reach 85 years old than the least optimistic,whereas the most optimistic females were 1.5 times more likely to make it to that age.People with positive mental attitudes were 29 percent less likely to die.Reduced risk was seen in heart disease,cancer and infection.The scientists suggest an optimistic mind mode may promote behaviours like exercise and balanced diets and help individuals resist desires like smoking and drinking.Optimists may also handle stress better than pessimists,choosing to pursue long-term goals rather than immediate rewards when they are faced with a challenging situation.“If you’re a negative Nellie,don’t worry:Those who are focused on the negative actually make more money in business and are often more productive.But if you’ve weighed the pros and cons and want to be more optimistic,it is possible.Pessimists can learn to become more optimistic with proper means and guidance,previous research has shown.Still,reasons for the attitude affecting the lifespan are not sure,and it’s unclear whether such behavioral adjustments can impact it.Perhaps it would help to believe they will?”said David,a scientific journal writer.28.What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean?A.Take heart. B.Make efforts. C.Work out. D.Brighten up.答案D解析词义猜测题。根据下文对研究发现的介绍可知,乐观者比悲观者更长寿,故画线部分所在句子表示你现在有一个好的理由舒展眉头,高兴起来。故brightenup“变得开心”符合题意。29.What do the scientists find in their latest studies?A.Proper exercise and diet are necessary for a longer life.B.The age of 70 is easier to reach for females.C.Human lifespans largely depend on mental attitudes.D.Pessimists are in higher risk of suffering from diseases.答案B解析细节理解题。从第二段中的“It’salsofoundthatwomen,onaverage,haveabetterchancetolivetobeover70”可知,女性平均有更大的可能活到70岁以上,故B项内容与此一致。30.What can we learn from paragraph 3 about optimists?A.They tend to healthy behaviours. B.They avoid smoking and drinking.C.They can easily deal with stress. D.They enjoy challenging anything.答案A解析细节理解题。从第三段中的“Thescientistssuggestanoptimisticmindmodemaypromotebehaviourslikeexerciseandbalanceddietsandhelpindividualsresistdesireslikesmokinganddrinking.”可以看出,乐观的思维模式有可能促进健康的行为,如运动,均衡饮食,抵御烟酒冲动。 31.What do David’s words imply?A.The study findings are believable. B.More research remains to be conducted.C.Pessimism has its own upside. D.Optimism makes life more meaningful.答案C解析推理判断题。从最后一段中的“Thosewhoarefocusedonthenegativeactuallymakemoremoneyinbusinessandareoftenmoreproductive.”可以看出,关注消极面的人做生意更成功,并且往往效率会更高,由此可知,悲观主义有其好的方面。 DA few weeks ago,I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro.I asked him what he wished to know about farmers.He smiled and said,“That we walk among you.We look like you and talk like you.We have advanced degrees and hobbies,just like you.”Take Dave for example:He’s a young man with a music degree.And if you walked past him on the street,you’d never think,“There goes a farmer.”Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer?Probably not.I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls(工作服).I can tell you,that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know.Not only do we have to throw out our previous impression of farmers,but farming as a whole doesn’t look much like it used to either.We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like,and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.In a parking lot in a neighbourhood of Brooklyn,they met a new crop of young farmers who were trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical(垂直的) farms.In a Florida field under the fight path of an airport,they discovered farmers with university degrees growing plants that might someday fuel our cars.And in a modern farm in California,they observed how farmers were using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.These farmers all spend their days in very different ways—none of them looks like the previous farmer we have in our mind—but they’re all working on new ways to feed our planet.Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like,but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from.Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.32.How does Dave describe today’s farmers?A.They often walk on the street. B.They are leading a very busy life.C.They are similar to ordinary people. D.They have little time to make friends.答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中第三句“Hesmiledandsaid,‘Thatwewalkamongyou.Welooklikeyouandtalklikeyou.Wehaveadvanceddegreesandhobbies,justlikeyou.’”可知,Dave认为今天的农民和普通人一样,C项符合题意。故选C项。33.How does the author think most people see farmers?A.They usually wear overalls. B.They have interesting hobbies.C.They are skilled at growing crops. D.They know modern farming practices.答案A解析细节理解题。根据文章第三段中前三句可知,在作者看来大多数人会认为农民常穿工作服,A项符合题意。故选A项。34.What was the purpose of the team?A.To deepen connections among farmers.B.To study different technologies in farming.C.To find the new developments of modern farming.D.To encourage farmers to use new farming methods.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第四段第二句可知,“我”们派出了一个小组来考察现代农业的面貌,这与C项(寻找现代农业的新发展)的描述相符。故选C项。35.What do the farmers mentioned in paragraph 5 have in common?A.They all work in the city. B.They all use high technology.C.They all do hard physical work. D.They all work with universities.答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章第五段可知,调查小组发现农民在高科技的室内垂直农场中种植新鲜蔬菜;农民拥有大学学位,种植的植物有朝一日可以为我们的汽车加油。一个现代化农场中,农民利用技术来尽可能地照顾好动物,因此这些农民的共同点在于他们都使用了高科技来从事现代农业工作,B项符合题意。故选B项。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。More than half the planet’s population now live in cities,with limited access to the natural world.For Europe and Latin America,the figure is more than 70%.　36　 Gardening in particular is an opportunity for everyone to have such kind of experience,even if they live in built-up areas.It is typically seen as moderate(适度的) intensity exercise equal to playing doubles tennis or walking at a speed of 3.5mph,so it has similar fitness benefits.　37　 Home and gardens have long been important for family food production,but gardening can also encourage people to eat more healthily and act as an educational resource on nutritious food.In fact,children who take part in gardening and grow their own food have a greater preference for,and increased consumption of,fruit and vegetables. 　38　 Research has shown that gardeners generally have greater life satisfaction,raised self-esteem and fewer feelings of depression and anger than non-gardeners. This last point suggests that the mental benefits of gardening may be more than just a side-effect of the physical exercise involved.　39　 People with strong social networks have an increased life expectancy,less stress and fewer visits to the doctor.In addition,spending time outdoors in a natural environment helps us to feel less stressed,reduce the symptoms of depression,and improve our concentration and attention. All this evidence shows there’s a strong relationship between gardening and health,but we only know for sure that there is connection,not “cause and effect”.　40　 We also need to directly examine the immediate effects of gardening on people who have never previously taken part or are suffering from mental and physical ill health. A.Gardening is also linked to better diets.B.But more than this,it can promote people’s mental health.C.One possible reason is that gardening can involve social interaction.D.A good eating is supposed to include a balance of several food groups.E.Yet contact with nature has varieties of benefits for both physical and mental health.F.This means gardening alone is not necessarily a direct cause of any improvements in health.G.Remaining socially active can also inspire seniors to build confidence and live a healthy life.答案36~40 EABCF第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I saw the most beautiful thing ever one morning.It

holiday in an unfamiliar neighbourhood in Lakewood, New Jersey. We rented a house so that some of our children and grandchildren could join us. Everyone in the area was super friendly, offering to come to introduce themselves to us and to ensure that we would make full use of their hospitality, whether to borrow something or to send the kids to play in their yards. We were excited and impressed and immediately began to see if there were any houses for sale in the neighbourhood!The next door to us was particularly fascinating(to visit not to buy). In the yard, there was a tennis court, a swing set and various toys and games that were particularly popular with young children. The owner was also very friendly and invited the kids to come over and play.They didn’t have to be asked twice.They played for hours on end. While we relaxed in our yard, perhaps a little too comfortable, perhaps enjoying each other’s company a little too much, perhaps forgetting that young children can’t be left too long without adults looking after them.Apparently a small fight broke out between the boy of the next door and one of my five-year-old grandsons.My 10-year-old grandson immediately jumped to his cousin’s defense and pushed the other boy.At this point,the mother next door was forced to intervene(调停).And the neighbour came over to speak to us. Now when I try to imagine myself: in that position, I imagine all sorts of negative and aggressive ways to deal with it—I would have been very angry and complained about the bad behaviour of these visiting children,and definitely sent them home.Whatshedidwasquiteopposite. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Honestly, Iowedmythankstotheneighbour. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文Whatshedidwasquiteopposite.She was so kind,friendly and calm.She spoke of their great pleasure in sharing their backyard,and of the necessity of monitoring our children’s behaviour.She told her children we were all their guests and that we should be respected and given special treatment;otherwise,as hosts,they were to blame.After that,these children got along well as before.The kids were immediately brought home but the next day they were welcomed to play.Honestly,Iowedmythankstotheneighbour.Though her actions may seem small,they were big in our eyes.The neighbour not only let all the children keep happy but also taught me an unforgettable lesson in dealing with relationships.From her,I learned some good skills in getting along with others.Small and kind actions can bring warmth to people.We should pass them on to our children and grandchildren.
